They even had the entire house jacked up and had the foundation completely redone.
They probably have as much in the renovation as they are selling it for.
I don’t have a picture of it but the following is what I turned down, at the height of the housing bubble:
Rural, 5 miles from the nearest town, “city water” but not sewer. Southern Missouri flat land, far away enough from the Mississippi River that it’s not prone to flooding.
A house sitting on ten acres of fully fenced land, 5 bed rooms, large kitchen, large dining, 4 baths, two “office areas” all on one level. Full finished basement that had a full kitchen and two baths of its own. The house had a back up whole house generator (Diesel)
Outside to go with the 10 fenced acres a fairly new horse barn with stables for 12 horses and separately, a monkey barn, yes, monkey barn. the family that lived there kept monkeys, that barn was the foulest smelling place ever, I probably would have bull dozed it had I bought it.
The 12 horse stables rent out at $100 per month apiece, owners of the horses take care of their own animals.
Included was a fairly large in ground pool with two bath houses, full price of the property was $215,000.
Rural means no big city amenities, 5 miles to the nearest general store, larger city 25 miles away, also you have the possible night mare of a septic system.
It was sold before I could make my offer, if it is on the market again, I will buy it, especially with today’s depressed prices.
