Lighthouse, anyone?

I like that a lot. A short walk to Mill Bay where Henry Tudor landed in 1485 or to Westdale Bay for a spot of surfing, or to Dale for lunch in the Griffin and a spot of boating in Milford Haven. Bloody awful taste in sofas though.

EDIT; a quick google reveals some maintenance issues - looks like no money has been spent for about 15 years - would need a good surveyor with a head for heights and a big refurb budget!

No surfing at Westdale at the moment, or the near future for that matter - according to my Dad the recent storms and bad weather have washed away most of the sand leaving a lot of very sharp and jagged-looking rocks exposed. Agree that it's a cracking area though, my folks live near Little Haven - just wish it didn't take so bloody long to get there!

Had some lovely weeks away in Dale a few years back, fantastic part of the UK. Property sounds like it could be a moneypit though.

Technically a moneytower

That's had at least 2 cars finish up in the front room over the years.

This has been around for some time. They have it appear in as many TV shows as possible. The trouble is that it is on the wrong side of the Water for people who it would appeal to with enough money to actually buy it.

[ferrisbueller]

It's still a Wow, though.

Love this

Lovely part of the country, perfect size and not too difficult / expensive to manage and (relatively) good value for money

I thought Brooklyn was the place to be now?

Amyway, I love it. Reminds me of the place they feature in Gotham.

Stunning.

That is beautiful, understated, superb detail and finish & exactly what you would expect given the owner.

Wow. Lovely.

is that right - over $4k in taxes per month on top of maintenance charges?
im sure that wouldnt be an issue if you could afford to buy it but it would annoy me.

Real estate taxes in the USA are frightening.

IIRC mortgage payments are tax deductible though, is that right?

I suspect you can't really do anything with it, except perhaps camp now and then, and it's a national park and public access, but it's 24 acres of bloody pretty for 30k.

Why what?

Buy it?

Bragging rights, perhaps. Fairly safe place to stick the money long term.

Most likely, though, it'll be bought by a community or outward bound type group I'd have thought.

fair point - I was thinking more about from an individuals p.o.v. I guess

if you're paying for the tarn plus a thin strip of land around the edge, i'd presume it's something to do with what the water can be used for e.g. water supply for local factory as it says, or maybe water boards... or fishing...

If I had the money, I would buy it in a heart beat.

Lovely on the outside, a bit bland on the inside.
