Last Zero is Not a Misprint?

Mystery listing of the year. O.K., I realize that coastal property is all the rage, but THIS house and this location for almost a mil? The listing claims one acre…don’t know how much of that acre is under water during the high tide, since the property sits at just about sea level. “Wildlife abounds.” Yeah, no kidding. There all all types of swimming, crawling, flying things this close to the water’s edge. Rarely do I find so little good to say about a property, but I just don’t understand the pricing here. It’s not 2004 anymore; though I think the price would have been outrageous even during the hottest market ever. Oh, yeah, just in case you want to duplicate this bad deal, the house next door can be had from the same owner and agent for the same price. (Though, bonus! The next house looks to be in slightly better condition.) Agent says, bring your tools and imagination. The driveway down is so steep that by entering it, you’ll risk getting stuck at the bottom. Not good for getting work trucks in and out. Call me a pessimist but I don’t believe that tools and/or imagination will cut the mustard on this pile of timber, and it is doubtful that the county will permit your valiant efforts to improve what is too far gone. The exterior pictures are cursory at best; I’m guessing that the place scared off even the MLS photographer. Really I hate to say this, but Peggy Sue’s gonna sit this one out.
