I wouldn't touch this one with a ten foot pole while wearing a gas mask. And it's in escrow, again. You can find it on trulia or redfin and the listing info makes it clear you can't build a replacement and claims you can refurbish it. There's a link to an inspection report on the MLS that's right interesting (I'll send a copy to anyone who asks Tom.Stone@WineCountryGroup.com.) No you won't go on a mailing list. according to that report the county considers this an abandoned structure and any work done will have to be up to current code.Which is IMO, not possible. Why not? there's no room for for a septic system. No septic system, no legal occupancy. There's also no well. And the place is full of mold. Also, the bedroom floor rotted out, the remains are lying on the ground.It was built in 1953 when the use of asbestos as insulating material was common, which can affect the demo costs significantly. On a per acre basis this is about $500k...in an area with a high water table. Which means that IF there were room for a septic system it would have to be a wisconsin mound system which is expensive. IF this was a full acre, IF the home were removed and IF it had a good producing well it might be worth as much as $55k. If I had a client who insisted on buying this place I'd tell them to find another agent, anyone that stupid is dangerous.
