I'm on a diet..... and rice cakes are white too

[kiwidebs]

Very nice Sal, now that's more my cup of tea. Now, where do I buy Lotto tickets?????

[zardell]

Mmmmmm...lovely house I have to say, but what is it with all this white ??

Not that we could afford anything like that, but even if we could, I would want to LIVE in it, not just look at it.

Anyway, back to reality......( ooops, pardon the pun !)

[K&CS]

Moorf, they've been hawking this one for ages, haven't they? It's such a weird looking house - I really wouldn't want to live in it although I'd love to have a nosey around. $1m - they'll be lucky!!

[Moorf]

Yup, it's been on for a month or two - I know the guys who own it (we bought our first car here off the owner who has dealing with Donniethorne Sims). Definitely overpriced but someone will no doubt love it - although I don't think the location's too good and, if you see the amount of fallen rocks on the road around there from the cliffs, not sure I'd feel safe sunbathing in the garden!! :D Let's do lunch and have a nosey :laugh

hey you two gona take me nosying around some mansions??....could do with some entertainment and window shopping in a week or so :laugh :laugh

[tigerlily]

That house looks like it should be in the Southwestern US- maybe New Mexico? How odd in Chch!

[K&CS]

Tigerlily - you're right. It does look very odd - it kind of sticks out like a sore thumb (apart from Brigadoon - the owners of that house must have a great sense of humour!), but it also looks like a very interesting place. It kind of looks like it's been plonked in Redcliffs from Bedrock - I could just imagine Fred and Barney wondering around the place!

Helen, would love to do lunch and have a nosey (and Kat).

[sizzlingbadger]

I quite like it in a quirky kind of way, doesn't look like it fits in with the area though.

How about this for a dream house http://www.open2view.com/Property/130388 definitely the house if I could afford it :D

[Smiler]

I always look up at that one when I'm going past. Nice to see inside now, knowing I can never afford it. :D

[adamsat]

One of the properties near us has just gone up for sale -

http://www.lifestyleblock.co.nz/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=17925

Nice location and handy for all outdoor activities, suit patient experienced farming couple who like helping their English neighbours chase sheep :)

This is my dream house, oh for a couple of milion $!

[Cardiff Irons]

Too late dawn. I've just made an offer!

[Cardiff Irons]

Although I'm not sure they'll accept $200,000 and a programme and ticket stub from the 1975 FA Cup final. :)

Damn, you beat me to it, I was going to say that my $10 beats your $5!

[StevieD]

Steve, thrown in this year's stub from Cardiff and they may be interested!!

[Singel]

Every day we drove past this charming villa on our way home (5 mins drive from our house) and now it is on sale. So we took the opportunity to go in and have a look. It is like stepping into a museum and time had stood still. Great experience to see a 100-year old house :roll :uhoh

[wanderingoregonian]

I loved that home Singel! Thanks for sharing. It makes me feel better to think that maybe one day a house I like and can 'afford' could one day cross my path:)

[mossum]

a long last I can reply to this thread

we really really wanted this house & adjoining land ..... so much that I did not post it on here in case someone " saw " it LOL !!!!


http://www.ljhooker.co.nz/property_listing.php?id=185602&type=residential&category=buy

regrettably now its sold :( but at least I can share it with you now .....

[willsken]

That looked lovely how much did they want for it? We did the same thing, found a place we loved and really fooled ourselves into thinking it would be there waiting for us when we arrived... I gutted to say that it was also sold :no

[mossum]

Hi Nicola

can you believe it was $199 000 !!! with the option to buy the 3000m2 section that has olives planted on it & is fully irrigated for an additional $100 000 . We just had really fallen for that house :roll never mind I geuss we can always find another - although I doubt at such a modest price .......

Us too:wah . We even sent my parents off to have a look at it and they said it was lovely. Ah well, if it was meant to be. We've since bought in a different suburb and love our new house and where we are!

[Moorf]

I must have been a hobbit in a previous life because I love this property.... I think I may have just found my dream home... *drool*

http://www.bayleys.co.nz/ Property no: 51276

[kiwidebs]

Not my style but I can see the attraction. Very rustic. :nice1

[sizzlingbadger]

Wow ... definitely would be my dream place to :laugh

[mossum]

wow !

now that really looks like home ! I can imagine sitting at that kitchen table in winter nice & warm, with a glass of red, my favourite book & lovely cooking smells wafting out of the ovens .........

[wilson182]

Not my thing.....too dark for me

[jess]

Nice hobbit house; I love it! Perhaps that could be our winter home, and then we could buy something completely different for our summer home so we didn't get bored.:p Maybe something like this...

http://www.leaders.co.nz/RP/renownedproperty.asp?Ref_No=53057 :yes

[Moorf]

Nice! A bit grandiose for my tastes but I wouldn't say no ;)

[jess]

Yeah it is too big really. It's just the two of us, and I'd get lost. Plus, think of the heating costs!! I would like about a third of that house though.

We just found out little dream home on a hill with a view of the Tasman, and our offer was accepted.

:raebanana a picture... if it shows up

[jubjub]

Like the cute hobbit house, not sure I could live in it though, and that electric oven in the wall looks totally out of place!

Prefer the big posh house, much more light, would need to win Lotto to hire a servant or two...

[sizzlingbadger]

Wow, Jess that's a gorgeous house

[Moorf]

Congrats Jess!! :cheers When do you move in???

[jess]

We settle on Aug 30. Looks like we'll actually move on Sep. 4. Only 3 weeks away, but we've left most everything packed. We're ready to roll! ...Now if I can just handle the switch from the easy flat bike ride here to the big hill involved in biking up to the new house.:uhoh

[auskiwi]

A lovely home Jess! Congratulations! :cheers

Jules

[Moorf]

Errr... WOW.. love it!! All except that bloomin' kiwi blue in the bathroom... :wah

[Jules]

:laugh totally agree Moorf, it is horrible.

Jules

[jess]

Gorgeous!!! Though, yes they really do love that dark blue.

But I'd have to take it for the bulit in curved bookcases alone!

[Paul]

Wow - love the outside areas of this one (inside not too bad!)

http://www.open2view.com/Property/135426/?datelist=0&

[marcia]

WOW!!

That is gorgeous!

Won't be buying it though - don't think the pool area is child friendly for our 2 year old!!!! :laugh

[zardell]

Could cope with that Paul.

Trouble is, it's so similar to where we live now, that it would remind me too much of what I'm leaving behind in the UK.....Yeah right..... :laugh

:exit

[jubjub]

Saw this in the paper at the weekend, we could sell ours, and afford this instead... mind you the interior needs little work, but that pool, and the front of the house are lovely

I like the gunboots on photo 4 :laugh

Jules

[Moorf]

:laugh It's like playing "through the Keyhole" ... who lives in a house like this....

I think they're riding boots - any famous riders living round there? :D

[StevieD]

Bet it is still freezing in the winter though :laugh Like something out of Dallas!

[sizzlingbadger]

Looks very staged. Does anyone really live in there when it's that tidy :D

Once the furniture goes there won't be any atmosphere left. I could imagine what it would like with ours in :uhoh A real let down :)

[Moorf]

:D I'd only be able to furnish one room - and that would INCLUDE both our double beds!!!

[sizzlingbadger]

:laugh :laugh

I think all of ours would cover two rooms, just :D

[Smiler]

We could move into the kitchen and still have room for guests!

Neat trick with the mirrors though, must remember that one. ;)
