*edit* I have a name for the shop now, Chevy Hoarders Original Parts.

We made an offer on this 5 acre property with a small house (1100 sf) and a nice shop (1800 sf)... should hear back today.

Thats nice!--if I ever moved I'd want a "small" house,being alone,and a BIG shop to keep my vehicles in away from the elements..with a lift and 220V of course..
Hope you get it!..

Luckily a friend of mine will have a lift available shortly... unfortunately, I don't know if I will have an extra $1600 available to snag it if this goes through.

Baby steps.
Get the house then worry about the lift.
I like this property too bad I might never be out of my place

We also have 5 acres and so nice for a little breathing room. Wife grew up in Bellevue, I grew up in Wyoming. She just said yesterday how much she likes having some space...but that was foreign to her. Always grew up in city. She has really grown to love it! Hope this goes through for you!

Good looking place. Good luck with the purchase.

Seller countered with half of the closing costs we asked them to cover $7k out of $14k, we countered with seller coming up $2k with us increasing the purchase price $5k to cover closing. They accepted the offer verbally but the guys daughter got involved and got him confused so we are waiting on the seller's agent to talk to him tomorrow and hope they get it straightened out.

Well?

Good luck, that looks like a nice place!

Good luck man. At this stage, anything the seller promises verbally is worthless as tits on a pig. it'll be up to the selling agent vs your buying agent.

Good luck, post pictures once you've got the property!

We are under contract now. Closing date of Nov 27 or earlier. Inspection is set for Thursday afternoon so I will be over there to do some measuring on the small open face machine shed that we plan to convert for horse stalls.

Nice place. What is the inside of the old farm house like?

 

[muddybuddy]

Awesome! Congrats

Love the dutch door, staircase and of course the woodstove. I cut our kitchen side door into a dutch door, and its great to have the top open with a storm door with screen. Nice cool breeze without the bugs.

Obviously the shop is going to be killer; tons of space for lift, tools and toys.

It's dry and possible it could be built into a MIL home. The owner said the owners before him lived in that house and had their first kids in there when they first lived there. The interior has old dry wall and indoor plumbing from the 50s.

Ultimate man cave.

Ultimate man cave.

I think my wife claimed it for her craft room space already... but the shop it's set up to build a second floor above the short doors and plumbed for water and septic.
