$175,000? For 500 square feet??

I hope the property comes with a lot of land, or else this is just a 2006 “housing bubble” price. The kind of pricing that crashed the market oh so nicely.

That does seem like a rather steep price for something this small. It’s adorable, though and the claw foot tub is a huge bonus. I wish there were pictures of the kitchen and any yard, if there is much.

I was thinking of building a little house similar to this if I could get a floor layout…

This was actually the first house I lived in when I moved to Portland. I answered a classified ad that read, “Do you want to live a dollhouse with a gazebo?” i did & I lived here for two years from 1997-1999, I think. Great memories, glad to hear the gazebo is still there.

I’d be curious to know how the professor is doing in the Texas Hill Country two years later. If the bugs–including rabid fire ants, the poisonous snakes, the cedar fever or the fundamentalists haven’t gotten to him, surely weeks (and weeks) of 100-degree-plus temperatures have or will. Yes, it’s cheap land—-for a reason. Been there, done that. lol.

Here in Delaware taxes are very low, but what about Portland? I visited there some years back and loved it (Powell’s would be a huge temptation, though). If it’s cheap land you want, go to NY State — Ithaca area has lots to offer culturally (Cornell, Ithaca college, Wells College), and land is incredibly cheap. But then, there ARE those winters. If you ever visit that area, stay at a B&B in the Eco-Village.

What a BEAUTIFUL home! So lovingly furnished. Right on about the price…here in Berkeley, CA it would never make it to being listed-it would be snapped up by a greedy realtor who would sell it in 4 days for double the price. I sometimes wonder where I am going to be able to retire and be anywhere near my kids and grandkids- I have a terrific house here in Berkeley, but having my whole retirement check go to the mortgage would be a drag. I think the tiny house movement is a great idea, but it is still difficult to find reasonable land prices on the West Coast. I had a professor that moved to the Texas Hill Country when he retired. He was a travel writer and said after going all around the world it was like heaven on earth there. Plus he could afford to live a decent lifestyle. We still have the hurdle of land price to deal with in this movement.

Actually I was thinking that is a good price. But I live in Portland, so know how expensive housing is here. Great house though
