If i had the money id pay cash! such a great property
I wish somebody could step up, buy the place and donate it as a State Park. I didn't think such a place still existed.
Man, that would be amazing. I just drove by the site of my grandmother's old house (where she and my grandpa moved to in the 40's), she had a 1-acre orange grove. Now three giant houses are being built on her property....
I'd pay cash in a second just to preserve the orange grove. Such an opportunity and responsibility for anyone who has the means.
At the risk of sounding melodramatic, it's things like this that bring tears to my eyes. What a BEAUTIFUL little house. If I had the means, I would purchase it simply to preserve it. God, I hate land developers!
The Major has an excellent idea!
