I have owned 2 boat access only cottages in my life and can tell any interested buyer that its almost incalculable how much value there is in the 'Blue' cottage simply via the enormous amount of sheer labor involved in the work these 2 have put in. And the fact that it is approaching 'turn key' is huge! "Time is money" - so is labor. Imagine the cost of hiring a contractor, that is if you could even find one to take on a job like that. Location Location Location right? LOL. I had a relative looking at residential lots once (early 2000's) in S. Carolina - she called me for my opinion as to why prices of nearly identical sized lots were 40k and 80k. I was stumped for a moment and then realized these were in a 'mountain' like sub. The 40k had very little view at the bottom of the incline- the 80k was up higher and had an expansive view of neighboring landscape. Now back to 'Blue' - view??? yes an incredible 360 degree panoramic . I inquired via email about this place a month ago and was very tempted to pull the trigger but things changed and is off the table for now . Who ever you are that does buy this place please know I will be rooting for you and terribly jealous all at once.

@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses Ай бұрын

These are very astute observations that can only come from experience. 👏 It can be challenging for some who have never attempted something like this to understand the value of just how hard, inconvenient, & time consuming this kind of labor is in comparison to construction on land. And like you said, location is everything - a 1 acre lot on land with NO house in this area is more expensive than this brand new turn key home lol, so we feel the price is an absolute steal. Thank you for sharing! 💙⚓️

@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses Ай бұрын

Thank you! 🩵💙 both our house and the blue bungalow are allowed to have up to 400sqft of open dock space. Our house is already maxed out, so we can’t add more. The blue bungalow did not have 400sqft, so we were able to add docks till we reached that limit! 😊

@JosephPuplava Ай бұрын

So cool to add a new floating flatform. I am surprised it comes with a ladder. How hard is it to climb up with air-filled steps? I am sure you have a buyer who wants to live there for a summer home. I love the overhaul home that you guys did. I am sure it will sell fast! I hope you get what you want for all the work you put into it. Now, enjoy skiing and surfing!

@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses Ай бұрын

Thank you!! 🙏The ladder was a fun addition, I didn’t expect that either! I can see now why it is truly necessary though, that platform is over 2ft outta the water, I tried and could not get up on it for the life of me without the ladder! 😆 it’s super solid when fully inflated, kind of the same feeling as an inflatable paddleboard if you’ve ever been on one of those? so it’s pretty easy to use 🙌

@JosephPuplava Ай бұрын

@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses I had a SUP. I wonder if the material will be affected by the sun for a long period of time. I'm sure you spray the same stuff on the boat to protect it. It's pretty wild to add more adventures to the house. What's next? A slide 🛝 from your roof? 😂

@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses Ай бұрын

what you spent to remodel it (ie. what these can be “done for”) is not what you sell it for… as there’s this lil thing called labor 😂 hundreds of hours of it. if you put that labor in yourself, sure, you can buy and renovate one of these for far less than 250. we did the surf shack for $50k total, again having done all the labor ourselves. but if you didn’t do the work and are just buying a brand new house, obviously you are going to have to spend the money to compensate whoever made it that way. you can’t expect to pay fixer upper price on a house that’s already been fixed up for you. 😆
