I have enjoyed reading the IHB for some time now. This is somewhat off the topics that I see posted, but I'm running out of options. With the knowledge this group has, maybe someone can help me.
We own a historic recreational cabin in Holy Jim Canyon. It was built in the 20's or 30's and is totally original, i.e., it is NOT built to code. The cabin does not have a recorded O.C. street address and is located 6 miles up a dirt road. Because of the location (high fire danger), lack of valid street address and construction of the cabin, we cannot find a company to provide us fire insurance. If we cannot find a policy that offers replacement value, we would be satisfied if we could get one that just covered the purchase price.
We did find one company that claimed they would insure us (for fire only). Because the cabins don't have valid street addresses, the agent used the address of an actual home in RSM on the policy. He claimed it was valid, but we knew that if the place burned down, they would never honor it.
I thought there may be some insurance agents or Realtors who read the blog and had some suggestions for me. Any help would be much appreciated.
