House Porn of the Day


It's been a while since I put up any "house porn," so here you go.

This one is an 1855 Victorian in Worcester, New York.  Asking price:  $650,000 which includes 190 acres.


Private elegant compound in the Northwestern Catskills. Lovely 1855 Italianate Victorian house and barn.

Sited on 190 spectacular acres with mountain views, trout stream, clay bottomed swimming pond, perennial beds, fruit trees and stone patio. Thoughtful sophisticated renovation.

This 3,500 sq ft home and gardens are in excellent condition. 10 ft high ceilings, original moldings, and hard wood flooring, smart layout with great flow. 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.


It is coupled with a 5,000 sq ft post and beam barn that is totally renovated. The barn workshop/studio could provide a professional artists studio or a turnkey upscale woodworking operation. It is fully heated with separate zones, plumbed and has a top floor that could be guest quarters or house a nanny. This configuration could provide an opportunity to work and live full time in the country ending the dependence on city life.

Accessible from the New York thruway, 50 minutes to Albany and Amtrak, 30 minutes to Cooperstown. More pictures and information on website: http://www.centervalleyhome.com

That property costs LESS than my two up two down terrace in London...

Where I live, naked undeveloped land in "not the best neighborhood" is over $1 million an acre, and where I hunt it's about $30,000 an acre.

I just checked real estate in my county (Arlington, VA) for the $600,000 to $700,000 price range, and it's mostly 2 bedroom condos though there are a few small, zero-lot, single-floor ugly ramblers from the WWII era -- tear downs where you are buying the lot and the sewer hookup.

There's a new 1 story on 26 acres, 30 minutes from downtown San Antonio, going for $1.3 million. Small metal barn. Not nearly as nice as your listing.
