Water frontage, 2.4 acres, and a cute house for $80,000. it looks like there might even be some outbuildings with it. A little updating wouldn't hurt but it is fine to live in just like it stands.
Attention all you folks who keep insisting that working people can't buy a house.
Would be interesting to see if that working person could land a job in the area. Wages go with other COL unless you work from home. Then maybe.....
If it wasn't in a flood zone it would make a nice secondary home just as a little getaway with deeded waterfront access. Definitely no close neighbors which is nice. I'm going to assume there is no insulation in the walls so it would cost a fortune to cool and heat the place.
As for the renovation comment. True, but I like the rustic look of the house. Interior isn't too bad. It looks structurally sound just going by the attic pics. Doesn't seem rotten.
Did you notice the shim under one side of the fridge? Makes me wonder if there are foundation problems.
Otherwise, I really like it and think it could be a fun project to bring back to its full glory.

Unemployment rate in that town is 4.2%, so somebody has a job. Mortgage at today's rates wouldn't be much of a house payment. I get just over $300 a month if you didn't put anything down. A disability check would pay for that house if you couldn't work.
Not everywhere is priced like Seattle or Los Angeles.

I did not. I'm not a carpenter by no means. I can work on a engine but when it comes to building a house, I would measure 10 times and still cut 20 lol.
Probably would cost another 50k+ just to get it back to it's full glory. By the time you get it done a hurricane would come along and flood it. That would be my luck.
Not planning on buying this house but I love this architecture and not sure what it's called. Seems like most houses I have seen like this were built in the 1800s or just very old in general. I see a lot of them sitting on land just rotting away.
Think it would be nice to build a modern house in this style today.
Elevated 1/2 story from the ground to give it some elevation from the topo.
