I love the house but wife asked a good question which is how much of the .8 acres is usable. I did some google maps digging and seems like it’s mostly forest and unsure if that adds or takes away “value”

You'd be close to some good Dispensaries. That's all I got.

Based on the Picture #1 below, I was like "Damn, that setting is amazing!" Then I saw Picture #2.

So there's a Family Room, Living Room, and a Great Room?

It's a completely brand new home except for a few studs, even though it's listed as 1979.

Two full kitchens seems excessive.

The sale price history is crazy:
March 2000 - $330k
October 2004 - $415k
June 2019 - $950k
May 2024 asking price - $2.075mm

What's the ROI on this property? Sounds like someone spent a LOT of money on the rebuild and is trying to break even. Everything in that house looks like it was bought from Lowe's.

I also want to know what that $30/mo HOA fee goes to.

$2 million for a view of winery parking lots?

I think I would have to pass.

If the property includes all of those trees and nobody else could come in later to remove your buffer, and of course if I had $2M to piss away on a home, I’d do it. That’s an amazing house with a really nice view as long as those trees are there and I could plant more fast growing ones to fill it in.

Beautiful house, not sure about the view of the three construction cranes, however

The one issue is there’s a substation next to the house. I heard about emf radiation seems to be a no issue but we have a newborn coming so concerned

How many other homes in this HOA? $360 a year doesn't seem nearly enough to cover any issues with a private road. We used to live in a gated neighborhood and one of the reasons we decided to get out was that we realized that the HOA was not collecting enough money to build up a reserve in case they had to redo the private streets. And we knew that many of our neighbors would not be able to come up with the money for any special assessment either. So definitely look into that aspect.

Probably just enough to have a gate with the bar code scanners and to run the system.

How many feet away?

Not an expert but everything I've researched says as long as you're over 1,000 feet away you're fine.

This is just me,

2 issues to me:

1; you'd be spending $725 per square foot for 3 bedrooms and a view of a parking lot.

2: It's in Washington state.

no way in hell I'd live in that state.
