Maybe it's just the frontend for the umbrella hive?

For reference, I remember some dude selling an old American missile silo or something (like 6 stories buried in the desert) for like USD 350k

[–] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That's dirt cheap. Missile included?

[–] Siegfried@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Haha, nope no missile. It's america, not russia. The post lead to a selling page showing photos of the place. It looked legit and it was taken down in a day or so... or they sold it.

I think this is the one. Sorry for the paywall

Edit: it's a titan II if anyone is interested.

I know what I’ve got. Serious buyers only.

Is this some sort of weird "for legal reasons we had to post it but we don't actually want anyone to put in an offer" type things?

Like with the super specific H1B job postings designed so that only 1 person (preselected) is likely to qualify. But they had to post it because it's a government policy.

I guess I'm asking how this is helping someone avoid some sort of fee/tax on $169,000?

Edit: Guys condos don't always come with land ownership which is why I thought something was dodgy here. Does anyone know if condos in Oregon include the land under them?

[–] Tubics@lemmy.world 23 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Could also just be on a massive piece of land I guess

[–] BottleOfAlkahest@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

But it's listed as a condo, that typically doesn't give you land ownership. Or is OR law different on that?

Money laundering

[–] bstix@feddit.dk 5 points 2 years ago

I've never heard of any legal obligations to post a house for sale.

The price is set for the land or the location of the land.

I found the listing on Zillow with reverse image searching. It is a lot with two or three cabins from the mid 1930s in a wooded area right next to a 6-lane highway. Photos of the interior look meh especially for the price and the outside certainly needs love.

Anyway, here is the link: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/69947-E-Highway-26-4-Rhododendron-OR-97049/2060515883_zpid/?

Ah, Oregon. I saw a listing to rent a 'studio apartment' with no bath or kitchen so it was literally just a bedroom for $1200 a month a couple years ago. Not even in Portland, Springfield, or Salem, but a town with a population of 10k.

[–] Sarmyth@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Good find!

The worst part of this is the HOA. Although I have to assume they are pretty hands-off if the cabin is in this state. Having someone look over your shoulder while you fix up your shack sounds terrible.

[–] empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 years ago

Knowing the HOA they just need the property to sell so they can start harassing the new owners to fix it.

A lot of older properties get grandfathered out of HOA requirements

[–] Empathy@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

Also $83/mo HOA, oof.

Thanks for looking it up!

[–] saigot@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

That fee looks like it's mainly covering water/sewage which isn't the worst for a shared septic system.

[–] eltimablo@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago

That's not terrible for HOA/condo fees. I used to live somewhere that charged $350/month for condo fees and basically didn't do anything with it. There wasn't even a dumpster for residents to use, so most people's houses ended up filled with trash.

[–] youpie@lemmy.emphisia.nl 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)

that house looks fucking sick

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 30 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Sick with Cholera or the Black Plague

[–] Guntrigger@feddit.ch 10 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Why is there a ladder going up to a tiny door on the second floor? Elf house? John McClane entrance?

[–] explodicle@local106.com 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's a little tunnel that lets you be John Malkovich.

[–] Guntrigger@feddit.ch 4 points 2 years ago

Then it's certainly not overpriced!

[–] Knightfox@lemmy.one 6 points 2 years ago

That's the second room that you can lease out, 50 Sqft for $1200 per month.

[–] INHALE_VEGETABLES@aussie.zone 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That's where the landlord lives.

[–] Guntrigger@feddit.ch 2 points 2 years ago

Well the upside to that is they can't possibly be an intimidating presence.

I like Baba Yaga's style. If I could have a house on chicken legs, I'd have a house on chicken legs

But it doesn't meet modern universal design rules

[–] drathvedro@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I actually misread this meme as "Hey hosing market, where are you going". Oh well, the house on chicken legs is still quite rad though.

But. this got me wondering - could you actually legally live in the US federal land in such a house, that moves to a different location every so often? I know some RV guys live like this, but would an actual building that can move itself, be okay, too?

[–] wafflez@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Any geoguessers here to find the listing?
