Let's all go together & buy it, then turn it into a time share / rental.
Owners each get a week per year to ride / do trail maintenance / update the kitchen.

If my back of the envelope math is correct, I'll need an initial buy in of $50K each (assuming 52 owners) plus annual fees to cover prorated portion of all taxes, upkeep, insurance etc.

PM me for my Venmo.....if it falls thru I'll send your money back.

Dude, Nor Cal vs Asheville, the market prices are waaaay different.

It is a nice little spot if you wanna live in Cali.

I'll take my 20 acres, miles of trails, BLM on two sides, and a modern house for less than 1/3 of what this beauty costs.

Judging from MTBR's harmonious forums, I'm sure all 52 of us would get along well. (y)

That's exactly it. I can't tell you how many mid-century houses my wife and I pass on because of some idiot's "updates". If you don't like the "dated" kitchen, don't buy it. If you already own it, sell the house instead of ruining it forever.

That kitchen is an easy upgrade, change the hood, change the counter tops, done.

Probably should yank the paneling off the bedroom walls and whitewash the rock fireplace.

Good bones as they say :)

My old neighbor did that. I really have to wonder if it's a "value add". After months of dozers digging (he hired a professional trail builder to do it), I only saw him ride it 2-3 times.

I have dug about three miles of trails on my current property, about the same on the previous property, and I ride my trails a lot, like three to four times a week, it's just too easy.

I rode this morning with lights, thirty minutes or so, did a figure eight loop and a lap on the jump line, fat bike with studs, mix of dirt, snow, and ice. The dogs had a blast and I got in a little riding workout (y) (y)

This looks like they spent a couple years redoing an old house with something like an AirBnB in mind. If you look at the Zillow listing and then the trail build pictures, you can see that the cement where the airstream is was redone. I wonder what they paid for the property originally?

Edit: found the previous listing. More than I was expecting but I guess it is California.

MCM or not, those countertops are gross. You can update things and keep to the style (if that's what you like). And my complaint spans all eras. It's one thing to keep historic features in a MCM or a craftsman or Victorian. It's another to keep the same sh!tty kitchen in a 1990s tract house.

And they're asking $2.5m. It just offends me that I'd then have to make upgrades at all. But that's the market.

That's pretty much the entire North Bay now from an insurer POV. Don't ask me how I know.

I can only imagine I've handled Cali insurance for 14 years. I I had to decline a house last year that was inside LA city limits several miles in the concrete & pavement neighborhoods even I was surprised it fell in a brushfire decline zone but flying embers make the zone pretty large now.

You're buying 5 acres in Northern California not the kitchen. You can buy a house with a nice kitchen but not getting the land to go with it.

Yes, I understand that. I'm just making a general comment about the state of kitchens in the entirety of homes available for sale: I'm stunned at how many homes, even very expensive one, have old kitchens. I get that it's 5 acres, etc. I can't even believe people who can afford such a home would live with a kitchen like that. (And yes, I know they might have bought it 30 years ago, etc. etc. etc.) Sheesh.

And yeah, I can get that you'd hate to buy a house with a new kitchen you have to reno anyway. But people buying a 2.5m house can afford that.

I'm always amazed by how cheap nice houses are in the bay area. I know that's crazy but for something like in Boulder, CO, with 5 acres in the mountains, you'd be paying double that. Tell all your Google engineers that it isn't cheaper in Colorado!

For example: 24 Pine Brook Rd, Boulder, CO 80304 | Zillow
