$750K in Winona MN. Two hours from the Twin Cities. Half an hour from La Crosse.
Most importantly, less than an hour from @brenda .

And how. If you check the listing and look at the interior photos, there's easily $2M of work needed. And then we start talking about the grounds....

Finally, here’s a chance to own a Lodge that was built in 1825 that’s on around 40 acres in Mainland Shetland. Offers start at over £30,000 (about $37,351). It’s currently being proposed as a “world class 24 bedroom retreat.”

@Doctor-Phibes That looks pretty cool.
I thought this was kind of funny.
"Although remote, which is very much part of its attraction, and with a small population, Fetlar does have its own shop & post office open for a couple of hours, five days a week, and a cafe which primarily operates in the summer months."

Sometimes I think folks are (unintentionally) paying money just for the land and the studs. Those types of houses are, otherwise, a complete tear-down and re-do, even if it's room by room. At that point, you're just using the framing (studs) if they are reliable and, if lucky, the plumbing and electricity.

In Cincinnati. About $1.6 million.

The problem with the church is it needs some internal walls. It would be kind of fun living there.
Not in the same class at all, but I used to walk past this one everyday with my dog...

Not only that, but the neighborhood is awful. There's some gentrification, but I wouldn't walk around there day or night unless I had a death wish.

It needs a roof and exterior paint. I've never roofed a two-story (and wouldn't, in my balmiest days) and I ain't wild about scraping and painting that far off of the ground.
Having said that, if the bones are good, a hard-working young couple could bring that house back. I'd rent a Bobcat or a small, rubber tracked dozer for some of undergrowth. A chainsaw would be your friend. I'd probably just fill the pool in. I'd get a working kitchen going, a working bathroom and one bedroom. Then I'd tackle the rest of it room-by-room, contracting only what I absolutely had to.
It would take somebody with a wide breadth of skills or two people with complimentary skills. Those people do exist...A guy came by the house last night...We were looking at a dead tree on the property line and talking about what we would have done at 40 vs. what we are doing now. Anyway, I know this guy is a great carpenter, can build custom cabinets, is a decent plumber, can wire a house and can do HVAC work.
At 25-30 years old? Yeah, he and his wife could have done this one.
The problem is the money. If your back is good enough to tackle doing something like this house, your wallet is most likely too thin to even support a shoestring budget.
And then you have to pay the taxes...
