$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....

Annnd....
Looks like there's an offer pending. I can't access the interior pictures any more.
Taxes are low ($3500 or so), and Winona's a pretty nice town from what I hear...if you like Minnesoooota.

Yeah, but that house has clearly been neglected.

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.”

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."

Good friends of my in-laws bought just such a money pit, pool and all. Big mistake.

Yeah but once they spent a few thousand and got it all swept and Lemon Pledged, it would be gorgeous!

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.

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.
