Finally bought somewhere to keep my boat! It's about a two minute walk to a huge lake, which is semi salt water. The lake is 25kms(15 miles) long. The lake has a small entrance to the sea as well. I know, it looks like the place is out of McHale's navy! Maybe that's why I bought it?
I have about 6 boat ramps within a 5 minute drive, and a huge ramp(used to be for Catalina flying boats during the war) about 10 mins away. The house is on top of a hill, so will be cool in summer. Has views of the lake as well.
Nice big block of land, and 12 ft from the side of the house to the boundary on the driveway side, so a nice big driveway! I hate backing down scary narrow driveways! I could back a 30ft Scarab down this one no problems!
The place needs a couple of alterations, it used to be a rental, and the layout sucks, but the basic structure is sound. Also has a cool old fashioned fireplace which is big enough to cook in!
Now all I have to do is save a bit and get a garage sorted out!(I deliberately kept the mortgage nice and small so I could spend money on things I want to do to the house)
