In 1997, Galina Bye bought the place with her now-ex-husband, Joe Bye.
When a great offer didn't come in, she took the Bucksnort off the market, but she finally sold it in 2018 to new owners from Texas.
They bought at a tough time, running smack into the pandemic and then major septic problems that got them sideways with Jefferson County, a spat documented in testy Facebook exchanges, with owners LJ and Kathy Weller encouraging fans of the place to call a certain Jeffco official to complain.
By then, though, they were already looking for a buyer; the Bucksnort — along with four lots — was listed for sale early this year for $700,000.
A new Facebook message appeared this weekend. Right above a photo of an "Available" sign for the Evergreen Commercial Group, owned by Bill Downes, is this message: "Call Bill."
