Not allowed.
two separate single family homes on the same piece of land.
The problem they have is I can’t sell the houses separately.
That would be an illegal subdivision.
You buy the whole place or it is a no go.
But Zillow won’t allow you to list it that way.

That is your problem, not Zillow’s.

“But Zillow won’t allow you to list it that way.”

You list it as Multi-family and sum the sq ft, rooms, etc.

Just as a realtor would list it.

Houses are 200 feet apart.
Not exactly multi housing.
Thanks for the idea.

Multi-family.

When there are multiple houses on a single property, it’s typically referred to as a “multi-family” property, and depending on the configuration, could be called a duplex (two units), triplex (three units), or a compound (multiple houses on a larger plot) - but the exact terminology depends on local zoning laws and the arrangement of the houses on the land

Thanks for the education.
I guess my misunderstanding was this,
where I grew up multi family homes were all physically connected.
Common sewer, water and what not.
My two (actually three homes her are totally independent.
you could burn one to the ground and the others will
function without skipping a beat.
Thanks
and Merry Christmas!

Still true. But the listing is for the property.

Multi-family property. Deecription gives the specifics.

Here is a “multi-family” listing of four homes on acreage.

They really glossed over the 3 rentals.
I spent 2+ years going to Sarasota every few weeks
as a Boeing contact management engineer so I’m
familiar with the area.
I could write a check for that property in a week or two
but no way in hell.
But thanks for the education!
