So here's another one that (probably fortunately) got away. There was an ancient house that was essentially condemned, a couple of barns in pretty awful shape and three and a half relatively okay acres. Oh, and there was also (inexplicably) a boat. Quite a large boat, too.
Anyway, I think it was the gravestone by the back door that scared us off from this monster. We sure do know how to pick them don't we? This particular place was priced at around $240,000. I suppose that simply underscores the reason that it took Bob and I so long to find the house we bought: there is a dearth of "affordable" housing that fit what we wanted. (ie, studio space, enough property to have a small zoo, privacy, level, usable acreage for gardening, not too distant from family, friends and jobs, etc etc). Let's face it: we wanted a lot for a small amount of money.
That's me by the front door of the studio building. It actually had a roof that covered 3/4 of the building.
