Wow, the picture I saw of your driveway was only about 30' to the
road.
Did you driveway get it's master degree at Yale?
The photo was not shot with a 50 or 55 mm lens or equivalent.
It is 60' from the outside edge of my garage floor to the end of the
part
of the drive where the boat is sitting, and 110' feet from the driveway
under the stern of the boat to my private road and another 30' feet of
my
private road, which I also paved to a little traffic circle where the
county road ends. That's a bit over 200'.
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.
NOYB's jealous because he lives in a cookie cutter subdivision.
Doubtful. Though I wouldn't live in that part of Florida. Too hot, too
many hurricanes.
If I didn't live on the water, I'd go inland about 8-10 miles and buy about
4-5 acres. The lots in Golden Gate estates are all 660' deep...with either
75, 150, or 250 of frontage. The layout of the area looks alot like what's
in Harry's pictures of his driveway and surrounding area, except for the
type of trees (we have cypress trees mostly). 5 years ago, you could have
bought a lot out there for about $15k. Now, the 75x660 lots are selling for
$200k and up. The 4-5 acre lots are selling for $600-800k.
Heck, I'm on a little less than a third of an acre now, and these lots are
going for a million and up.
I just had the house reappraised in order to draw some more equity out to
pay off my school loan, and to use the extra cash to buy some investment
properties... and the appraisal came back 43.5% higher than the one done in
April 2004.
The heat and hurricanes obviously aren't scaring away the folks looking to
move to Naples.
