Dream home

[speedminded]

What is it?

Mine would be a place right down the street from my house, the owner has it for sale for $879,000 but the house is not what catches my attention. The property has a half mile landing strip and 3 storage garages for airplanes.. throw a dyno in one of those with a couple of lifts and basically I would have a mini Top Gear test track in my back yard, damn I'm going to buy that place one day.

aw, now you're talkin my language...2,500' landing strip, it is paved right? and it is a non-community private strip not shared by other houses?

From tuscany villas to austrian castles to downtown modern industrial lofts i'm in love with buildings....but they all must have a place to play with cars and maybe even a place to sleep and eat

My pick for a dream house of the year, now 2nd year running, is the Marietta Street Fire Station... 5,000+ sq. feet with a 2 story entrance/"foyer" for fabrication and place to play with cars. Location is directly behind Ga. Tech and convenient to everywhere downtown....may have to reinforce the roof before putting up a fullsize courtyard and patio area :-)

$1.3 million for it including the buildings on either side of it and a gravel lot. Tax records show the firestation and the land it sits on appraised for $110,000.
