There is absolutely nothing I don't love about that place.

After a bit of a better look, and a read of particulars, it seems that the BBQ would probably be a bit of a pain to convert to Gas. So I'll have to let you have it.

On a note of serious deficiency, I don't think the trampoline is close enough to the pool to facilitate proper bombing (pic 4), so that will need fixing before I submit my offer.

That would be magical in winter, a lot of house for the money but not stupidly big.

Being a tall chap, I'd struggle in some of the rooms, but having a lawn where your stripes converge at the horizon must be a life goal.



Someone mentioned South Hams, does this qualify?



I'd put a nice retired couple in the cottage to the left, who would garden and look after the holiday lets, and just have a relaxed, carefree life...

You application has been noted. Please be aware that the selection process will include:

1. Testing of your ability to mow a lawn in very straight stripes.
2. Tasting of your homemade delicious cakes, including (but not limited to) Bakewell Tart and Carrot Cake.
3. A timed run through the Total Wipeout course with the red balls.
4. Assessment of your customer services skills to give a general warm cuddly feeling for our guests.

If for no other reason than I'd regularly use the nearby tidal road which I still get excited driving down...

This one is about a mile away from where I live.



$1,950,000

I am fairly sure it was availible cheaper recently but I can't see the old price. The annual property taxes are $45k which is off putting.

What on Earth...?

Utterly horrific. Offensively so.

Nice modest log home for sale in the lower Appalachians. Country living at low price. This would be around 450-550 quid a month. Plus property tax and home owners insurance so around 700 quid all in when the currency is converted. 3% 30 year fixed mortgage.

Perfect .


I'd love to live in the woods away from everybody. Could day hike the AT I suppose too from there.

What's even better is that if I sold everything I could buy that mortgage free. But they wouldn't let me in. Seven acres and a natural berm too.

The architect needs a slap in the chops.

Having bought a car from him, I am happy to provide a glowing reference as to Gen. de Gaulle's excellent customer service skills. The job is his!

looks like the builders got the plans upside down, half-built the house and then realised, but carried on anyway.

It probably looks better when you are in front of it so you can only see one small part at a time.

Great inside though

Is this where 3 buyers sit and watch ladies parade in front of them before bidding?
