Find it very hard not to get emotional when your other half has found THE dream property to live out your days on – well until we hit the retirement village. Other half has said to leave offer at $1,500,000 as we are not in a position to sell our own PPOR or IP owned by our super fund or other IP…[Read more]

We have been searching for over 2 years for the “dream farm”. We are currently on smaller acerage, but its not enough land for us, the animals keep expanding!

Well I hope we have done the right thing, hubby absolutely loves this farm and the bonus is its only 250m from the ocean.

I have built 2 homes designed by an architect. We only used the architect to design the homes and built them ourselves – well worth the money.

The property that was originally listed for $925 has now plummeted to $830, vendor desperate to sell. Going down on Saturday and will offer $650 – hey they can only say no – not prepared to pay over $6,500 per acre. Acerage, horses and excellent surf beaches – what more could you want!!!

I must admit I’m a bit worried about the huge repayments we will have to make. Thanks again for the advice, I really appreciate it.
