Charming timber home in Lindau

This half-timbered charmer goes for a low-low price of 130k euros. Not at all bad for a ~1500 sqft. standalone house on the Bodensee. Or is there a typo somewhere in the listing? I'm left to wonder. Sounds too good to be true. Something that one could conceivably buy in the near future. That would give us a nice place to head in the summer to escape the Austin heat.

What better place than deep in the Alps. I imagine this would rent well during the winter ski season and any other time of the year as a getaway destination.

Private Cave

Seems an odd thing to put on a real estate site, but okay. I'll bite. Hmm... gardening equipment, possible location for a restaurant. Maybe. But Immediately usable? Hard to pin down. And not enough light for a studio, unless I'm looking to develop rolls of film the old fashioned way.

This was all spurned on by finding my childhood home in Berlin on Google Maps. Made me wonder if the old military buildings are being used for anything, because if not, I could certainly make use of one as a warehouse studio. Searching for options in the location around Berlin-Dahlem turned up a few leads, but nothing like what I hoped to find. Then out of curiosity I tried a broader search.

Never expected to find this link to a for sale cave for $99k.

Anyone have ~$1.7M to loan me?

Please? You could come visit anytime.

This place looks majestic, especially given its proximity to Munich, Innsbruck, and Salzburg.

I'd never heard of the town of Lenggries, but I'll have to add it to my list as a nice out-of-the-way-yet-still-close-to-lots option one day.

Yes, with this post, the search has be re-initiated. Now that I don't think I'll have to explain away the policies of the U.S. administration, I think we can re-consider this move sometime in the next year or two.

Now I just need ~$1.7M. Where's my bailout?
