    I would love to have the $$ to buy something like that, renovate the shit out of it and live away from people.

    Having said that, probably looking at like 200k in renovations (most likely more). The 550 seems low too considering what properties are going for these days.

    So basically about a million to live in bumblefuck.

    There is a massive lack of supply of housing in Australia. Very little is government built (unlike the 60s and 70s when govs were pumping cash in building homes), and developers are squeezing all they can out of buyers. Limited quantity of builders as well, so older and established ‘gems’ are fetching a pretty price.

    Shit’s fucked

      All I want in this life is a balcony to sip my coffee on of a morning and look out at some mountains and trees.

      I’m with you. The potential is there for something really beautiful. Though my opinion might change if the structure is as dire as it possibly could be.

        I understand the potential but paying for potential just seems…crazy. It’s like “give me heaps of money so you can spend more money on the potential.”

          Because it is crazy. Crazy and unsustainable. To spend nearly seven figures for a home in rural Tassie is bonkers.

        A building/structural inspector would be the first step before even considering it. Could be sturdy with minor structural works neede
