Real Estate nightmares (Vol 2)

I have been enjoying the virtual tour of this one. The monkey lights in the kitchen are one of the more amusing details when touring around the maze of a house that appears to be too small for them.

Zorro Ranch: https://www.sothebysrealty.com/eng/sales/detail/18...

Not a nightmare, but a quick google of 'zorro ranch' reveals who owned it (epstein). Knowing that, surely you'd want to level the entire place and build something of your own.

Not far from me and have found myself looking at this listing a couple of times, money-pit springs to mind, and imagine it will go for way more at auction/sealed bids regardless. not the best area either so there is a value ceiling too.

These popped up localish. I'm not sure I know where to start. There are a few "barn conversions" round here but these are a new high/low. Looks to be around a £1M

bugger buying Oak Apple Barn! Ridiculous

Of the three you'd want Mulberry Barn anyway as you wouldn't have others driving across your area. You could gate the entrance too between Mulberry and Cedar Barns to make it private.

What I find poor though is bedroom 5 has no bathroom access. The bathrooms are en-suite to the other 4, there is no family/general bathroom available.

Also the agents interior photos too many close ups. No photo of the dining room stuck in the centre either.

Is this not another case of redevelopment of farm buildings into houses but retaining the same shape, to get around change of use rules? It really would feel like living in a farm shed.

Another one that's good for trainspotters in a year or two. They will be shifting by the time they get here, but not to worry as it's pretty open landscape

Chemically induced sleep with a bit of luck.
