Uh directly to the north is a small dairy farm. In my back yard you can hear them mooing in the distance. The house has a 20'x22' attached 2 car. This spring I'll put up a 10x18 shed for my junk. The house is a foreclosure, and hence needs some work. I prolly wont be online much in February due to the weeks of work it needs. Every wall is getting painted, every floor redone, and thinking about redoing the kitchen cabinets.

When I start looking, I'll be looking for a foreclosure too. You can get it for well below market and rebuild it the way you want it. Of course, you have to know how to rebuild.

There is actually one in my town that I hope is still uninhabited in about 2 years. Tons of potential.

Just realized you said it was built in 1995 too. Someone must have done a number on it to foreclose it. Let's see some before pictures.

UPDATE

Finally closed the bitch on 4/8. Was in contract to buy the place since 11/15/09 One negative of a foreclosure.

wtf....150k for a 1600 square foot house on 2 acres.....your probably looking at 300-400k for a house like that in CT with 2 acres of land

Midwest > CT.

Midwest > CT.

Clearly, that's why the prices are cheaper =)

 

[jamesA]

Actually, that's about the only reason.

Now all you need is a bulldozer. Then you'll be the only house for miles!

I used to be able to disagree with you on this side of the state but everyone thinks that every squar foot of land over here is "wine country" these days.

 

[eg6sir]

damn... you got that for $150k .. no only do my dogs hate you, but i do too now.. j/k.. that'd be a million dollar piece of land in CA

 

[SlushboxTeggy]

It would be somewhere around that in my part of NJ too.

 

[eg6sir]

i exaggerated obviously... but it'd be up there
