so did i. apparently they're only in a hurry to get it over with when the other guy has the highest bid

naw this is the main house

the barn is cool as hell however and the stone part of it has these really nice medieval-looking white stone walls on the inside as you can see on some of these pics

Yeah that's the one I was talking about. Overall it looks like a pretty cool spread of land and buildings. Good luck!

What does a house like that cost in Sweden?

 

[NAD]

I notice that that is right near the ocean, has land, and costs around $75,000 US dollars.

...

Seriously, I have no fucking idea why I live in California any longer. This land is nonsense.

 

[Ars Magna]

That place looks great. Good luck!

because there is an actual barn too, a small one

I notice that that is right near the ocean, has land, and costs around $75,000 US dollars.

Congratz. Welcome to the world of "there is always something more to mend and fix and everything costs 4 times more than expected"

I showed this thread to the wife last night. She guessed the value at $400,000 US at least, and that was taking into account Sweden's weather patterns.

When I told her it was 5 digits she was pretty much on board for Swedish Invasion, so you never know! And she does have family in Stockholm...

This will be awesome. This means we have to buy one of these:

Well the price for a house like that in Stockholm would probably be 6 digits. (but who wants to live in stockholm anyway).

 

[Hell Mike]

Highest of fives

Yeah 100kish seems about right in America, especially in the country. I would hope to have a spot like that one day when i'm a grownup.

 

[einride]

it has 8000+ square meters of land too

it ended up at about $91,000

which is neither particularly cheap nor expensive, it's maybe a little more than i had hoped, but no more than i can handle

damn straight

you'll go downstream (to us) and then never come back because fuck paddling upstream

good thing we've got a gäststuga

Buying a house was simultaneously one of the best and worst things I ever did.
