This place has been for sale ever since I bought my property in WV. Started out for $1.4 million way back then. Nice piece of land, but the home is just full of WTF. The podium thing in the staircase would be a nice place to put a major award.  https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/430-Aurora-Ln_Sugar-Grove_WV_26815_M33183-06455 |

The interior looks like a church.
I don't think it looked bad compared to many, but it's also WV and they're asking for nearly a million. It doesnt scream million dollar house to me. The land being that cheap is a hint to the location as well. |

It’s kind of neat. Just dated as hell inside with some odd touches (like the stained glass windows and stair podium thing). I’d have to basically gut it and start over.
Look at it on a map.. even the driveway is an odd curvy thing. Make it a couple lanes wide and it would be like having a fun backroad as your driveway haha |

for a 242 Acres plot, it's only ~$4100 per acre. Assume none of it tillable but looks like lots of woods. That's a good price for hunting land in southern Iowa...

It is dated, looks like grandma and grandpa built their dream house, lived out their days in it and have passed on.  Do the semi truck and jetskis come with the place? 242 acres, good sized garage, 2 houses. Sounds good to me. Would do a light remodel/update to the main house, build a huge shop building, fix up the farm house for guests and call it good. |

I'm positive it was listed for longer than what the ad claims. I bought my place in 2014 and remember seeing it on the realtor sites then.
Imagine the power bill heating that with electric baseboards.  |

Yea I walked through a couple like that, more money than sense applies. Obviously owner designed.
One place wasn’t too bad but I did a WTF when the master bed room had a dais bed platform, two or three steps all the way around up to an oak platform to the bed. All I could think of is creepy bedroom altar porno shoot. I have a coworker whose alley that would be right up. |

With that much land that place would be $10 million out west.
You can always do some remodeling. This is what a similar amount of money gets you in Utah. It's on .2 of an acre. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/486-W-Founders-Blvd-S-26-Saratoga-Springs-UT-84045/2068553122_zpid/ |

Quoted: Looks like a cult house It screams east Asian as far as layout goes It's all set up for a zen/rock garden but looks like none got put in. It's so positively high class 80s retreat that I can't help but love it. Pretty easy to find period correct furniture too. Good lord I sound like my mother. |

Imagine the power bill heating that with electric baseboards. Probably just for that realtor. I imagine they changed realtors every 1.5 years. I got bit by that once. My current house had been on the market almost two years but with two different agencies. Had I known the total time I would have been more aggressive in reducing the price. |

About $4k per acre without even accounting for any improvements to the property.

There's a guy local to me. An author apparently who might have had one or two good hits, who built a home that can only be described as Noah's Ark inspired. Even worse is that it was in a subdivision that was otherwise packed with very typical New Colonial/McMansion style homes. I recall he spent north of a million bucks to build it. It was on the market for years and finally sold to a flipper for $315k who was able to work some magic and unscrew it enough to sell it for mid $500s.

Damn. I actually kinda dig it. There are two houses on 242 acres with a spring fed pond. Pretty good price for all that.
I'm currently looking in TN for a home. If it was there I'd definitely be looking at it. I know quite a few people are looking to move, but most are looking in states with no state income tax. WV also has annual personal property tax (low or not it still pisses me off) on vehicles based on the BB value of the vehicle. As well as an annual "safety" inspection, which is also a waste of time and money. |
