The shack I built in '92

is up for sale again. Damn, I miss that garage and yard space. Sold that in '99 for $350K.

Nice place. Setting looks great. The main staircase looks good too.

Ok,, so I am curious....
WHY would you sell it... And especially after only being there seven years... ??

A few reasons. 3400 Sq. ft. is a lot to keep up when you both work. We wanted to travel more, and the hassle to get someone to look after an acreage when you are gone factored into it. As well, dealing with the well, septic, and rural power supply. We moved about a half mile as the crow flies into a fully serviced area so we could just pack and go as felt like. Besides, it let me pocket a good chunk of change, while still keeping about 2800 sq ft of developed space.

I bet the boys over at Ronco Realty were falling over themselves to get that listing!! Good chunk of change back in '99 double and a bit today I'd wager! Still short a garage or two for your fleet though.

And a 40 x 60 out back.

That garage is three 12x26 bays with a 12' ceiling, so it could accommodate 6 cars. The original intent was to have a dividing wall for the far right bay.

There is a lot of room for that out there. The aerial view shows the front 1 1/2 acres. There is still another 3 1/2 acres to the rear. That lot was 170' x 1/4 mile.

That'd work and I don't mind a cape cod...

Nice shack, great garage, far too much grass. LOL

 

[joetrucker]

very nice build,walk-out off the master is a must have for me as well.

So that would take 12 seconds to go from front of the lot to the back of the lot I assume?
