We had a contract on our house in WV, so we needed to find a house pretty soon.
I had seen this one on Zillow about 1 1/2 year before we bought it, but it was listed for $275.000 which was more than we wanted to spend.
Just for the heck of it I decided to check on it again, the owners had reduced it to 240,000 then to 225,000 ( At which price I would have bought it.)
Too weeks before I looked at it again he had reduced it to 205,000! Done Deal.
I am not a golfer (both husband and wife previous owners are ), so it not being in operation dosen't bother me.
I am right on the 9th. hole and have a 1000 yard 180 degree view. The only thing I miss here is I can't shoot off the deck, like I could in WV. I had 35 acres and the nearest neighbor I could see was 7 miles away.
Are you in Australia? I see it says Queensland below your avatar.
Yep, in the South east of Qld about 100 miles (160k) north of Brisbane. WV, I guess is Clampett country. That was a funny show....in its day.

Those golf balls are also good on massage stags or the penis looking ones instead of wooden balls. For the drill press ones, I had seen that in Ausie woodsmith ( A rehash of Woodsmith") a few years back but decided the standard ones were ok on my two drill presses (one for steel & one for wood). I had buckets of them and my kids would drive them down the paddock which became round missiles when hit by the tractor mower. I sold the remainder on gumtree for $10AU for a 20 litre bucketfull. Culling can be good for the soul.
