Ugly-ass flat roof. No way to turn into the garage unless you have a motorcycle. Hard pass on this one.

$1000 and up per sq ft is normal for a custom in the right location including resort.

I looked at property up in the Smokies. Most is super steep side of a hill and worthless to me. No desire for the hassle to build on those type lots and zero desire to live on ground I can't walk on...especially with dogs.

And yes that house is fugly. Not a fan of the ultra contemporary design.

I could live there. And, I'd have no difficulty getting in and out of the garage.

Prices liken that per sq/ft reminds me of Nashville. It is stupid what homes cost here now days yet they are still reporting we have ~100 people moving here per day.

It's good that you recognize the limitations of your driving skills as you get older. Many senior citizens aren't so self aware.

Well, I wonder if the current owner is "old" too.

By the mud stained tracks in the drive-way, someone turned out of the field to
the left to enter/exit the garage...

I think that is water stain. Looks like water runs right towards the garage door.

That's all construction dirt. The yard is still a mess- probably waiting for spring to have a landscaper come in.

My addition was about $375.

I'm doing plans for a large addition now, and the contractor told the owner to budget $350, including an oversize one-car main level garage.

I thought that left us in the 1980s.
I do recall there was a time when some HO INS companies would not offer coverages for homes with sunken areas, due to liability.

Nice home, but to some it looks modular / pre-fab, elevation needs more character.

I don't think you have any other option than passing this one up unless you are a LOT wealthier than I thought you were.

Who knows? Why would anybody own a Donzi without an engine? Or let raccoons live where he is shacking up? It's a strange and wonderful world.
