Seems pretty cheap. It's pretty far for daily NYC commute but plenty of people do it. I would think it would be in demand with that setting because of covid stuff .
2.75 mil? Cookie jar money for a house like that.
This place half a country away sold a few months ago. Smaller scale but lots of similarities even within MCMs.

That rock wall is a deal breaker for me. Thermal mass, not just to look at I assume but they could have done a much better job with nicer rock.
If budget wasn't an issue I would go stone and slate with a bunch of glass worked in.

I don't get that 90M place. All that money and you have to share a gym and pool with the savages in the 20M places. 8000sf and there's not much to it somehow.
Neither do I; I don't understand why anyone would want to spend that kind of coin to compete with all those other assholes. Similarly for ski areas.Quote:

Just amazing ^^^
Right? I feel like massive wealth and good taste don't usually coincide to this extent. Think it's on Air B'n'B? ;)Quote:

tho apparently the OR state pen has a nice space from kurisu...
Ha, I didn't know that. A friend of a friend worked at Kurisu for awhile, and I know they were focusing on institutional work, but mainly hospitals...didn't know they had gotten into corrections. Seems like a great idea to do a garden in a prison, especially if it could be tied to some opportunities for vocational training for inmates.Quote:

Looks a lot better than the view from your trailer in Black Brook, TrumpTrash®.Quote:
