For reference, I remember some dude selling an old American missile silo or something (like 6 stories buried in the desert) for like USD 350k
That's dirt cheap. Missile included?
Haha, nope no missile. It's america, not russia. The post lead to a selling page showing photos of the place. It looked legit and it was taken down in a day or so... or they sold it.
I think this is the one. Sorry for the paywall
Edit: it's a titan II if anyone is interested.
I know what I’ve got. Serious buyers only.
Is this some sort of weird "for legal reasons we had to post it but we don't actually want anyone to put in an offer" type things?
Like with the super specific H1B job postings designed so that only 1 person (preselected) is likely to qualify. But they had to post it because it's a government policy.
I guess I'm asking how this is helping someone avoid some sort of fee/tax on $169,000?
Edit: Guys condos don't always come with land ownership which is why I thought something was dodgy here. Does anyone know if condos in Oregon include the land under them?
Could also just be on a massive piece of land I guess
Doesn't even have to be massive. In my area, I see a half acre lot listed for $500k. I'm not even in a particularly expensive area (kinda rural, but 20mi away from a somewhat expensive metro).
Or like a mile from downtown San Francisco.
But it's listed as a condo, that typically doesn't give you land ownership. Or is OR law different on that?
Money laundering
I've never heard of any legal obligations to post a house for sale.
The price is set for the land or the location of the land.
In cases of inheritance, when the house is left partially to two or more parties. In conflict between the parties, the resolution can be the forced sale.
That's the rent per week
I found the listing on Zillow with reverse image searching. It is a lot with two or three cabins from the mid 1930s in a wooded area right next to a 6-lane highway. Photos of the interior look meh especially for the price and the outside certainly needs love.
Anyway, here is the link: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/69947-E-Highway-26-4-Rhododendron-OR-97049/2060515883_zpid/?
Ah, Oregon. I saw a listing to rent a 'studio apartment' with no bath or kitchen so it was literally just a bedroom for $1200 a month a couple years ago. Not even in Portland, Springfield, or Salem, but a town with a population of 10k.
Good find!
The worst part of this is the HOA. Although I have to assume they are pretty hands-off if the cabin is in this state. Having someone look over your shoulder while you fix up your shack sounds terrible.
Knowing the HOA they just need the property to sell so they can start harassing the new owners to fix it.
A lot of older properties get grandfathered out of HOA requirements
Also $83/mo HOA, oof.
Thanks for looking it up!
That fee looks like it's mainly covering water/sewage which isn't the worst for a shared septic system.
That's not terrible for HOA/condo fees. I used to live somewhere that charged $350/month for condo fees and basically didn't do anything with it. There wasn't even a dumpster for residents to use, so most people's houses ended up filled with trash.
that house looks fucking sick
Sick with Cholera or the Black Plague
Yes
How many acres of land though? This could just be a hunting cabin for all we know.
Yeah, honestly it's crazy but I also understand. In Seattle there are some real dumps out there, but the dump isn't what they're selling for 170k. That's just the value of the land. A townhouse on a quarter acre is 500k out here, they probably took a picture of the structure so the buyer knows they'll have to knock it down
Someone linked it upthread. It's one of several similar cabins in a glob on the edge of the forest
Interesting. I'll check it out.
Edit: Lol I absolutely love them (I love old houses) but fuck HOA's and the price. Not to mention I couldn't see acreage listed anywhere or I could just be to stoned and missed it.
They're condos, there is no land. The houses are cute, I'll give you that, but these are glorified apartments. You own the inside walls of the unit you buy, that's pretty much it.
Why is there a ladder going up to a tiny door on the second floor? Elf house? John McClane entrance?
It's a little tunnel that lets you be John Malkovich.
Then it's certainly not overpriced!
That's the second room that you can lease out, 50 Sqft for $1200 per month.
That's where the landlord lives.
Well the upside to that is they can't possibly be an intimidating presence.

I like Baba Yaga's style. If I could have a house on chicken legs, I'd have a house on chicken legs
But it doesn't meet modern universal design rules
I actually misread this meme as "Hey hosing market, where are you going". Oh well, the house on chicken legs is still quite rad though.
But. this got me wondering - could you actually legally live in the US federal land in such a house, that moves to a different location every so often? I know some RV guys live like this, but would an actual building that can move itself, be okay, too?
How bad is it that my immediate thought was that it’s reasonable? That’s literally the price of a parking spot where I live.
Any geoguessers here to find the listing?
