Reply to: You laughed at my 32 acres...

Good value for money at £14,772 an acre, but can you beat this, 214 acres for £460,000 - that's £2,149 an acre!

Yes, I know it's in the back of beyond - but perfect for the coming armageddon!

I like the place in Orkney for £60k on that website. My ideal retirement place I reckon although I think I'd be a bit more manly about it unlike Monty "get the locals to do the hard work" Halls is doing in his current effort.

According to the estate agent yes. 44 glorious acres to own in the SE.

Can you commute from there to London in an hour?

You probably could in a private jet.

£675k for 90 acres here.

I thought you could buy the whole of Wales for that?

Don't bother. Wait another 6 months and Ireland will be on the market for less than that.

[oracleslave]

That wouldn't even fetch 500k euros in NL and where ever you live you're never more than 1.5 hours from a major city.

Would that not apply to NL as well, i.e. is it not even more densely populated?

That's £675k plus a lot of renovation and landscaping by the looks of it.

Nice spot though, apart from it being in Wales and all...

That's a bloody hell of a lot of money for a shed called 'Bwa Drain' with the following directions;

There are several alternate routes to Bwa Drain and we suggest
the following for the first inspection. From Aberystwyth take
the A44 trunk road inland through Capel Bangor to Goginan
towards Ponterwyd. Turn right (signposted Ystumtuen) a short
distance after the Nant Yr Arian Visitors Centre and lake on the
left hand side and proceed over the common ignoring the first
turning left, take the next turning left over the cattle grid. Proceed
over the field through the gate and Bwa Drain Farm is the first
property that you come to.

I can't pronounce most of that. Try explaining it to a taxi driver when you're bladdered.

That wouldn't even fetch 500k euros in NL and where ever you live you're never more than 1.5 hours from a major city. House prices in Britain have a long way to fall yet.

If you click on the "airiel view" link on the website you get a monopoly house popup in a sea of green.

... and I thought that was an aerial photo !!

Yes, cos being 7 miles away, that's where it would be.

... and with aircraft flying over, every few minutes !!
