Why has this property been on the market for so long?

[Anonymous]

Because it is a POS house in the middle of nowhere for almost 1.3mil?

Why are there no close up photos of the front of the house? There are lots of the side and back but you can't really see the entryway at all. Weird and telling.

Well and septic. I can deal with the septic but I would rather not. The well ends it for me.

It's a horse farm. Not a lot of people need/want a horse farm and if they do, there are much nicer ones in that area for not much more.

This would be perfect for a large family who homeschools their children, single income.

I love the DC mommies taking like they know this area. It's not the country, LOL, nobody is homesteading here

The upper limit for a lot of this size in Oakton is probably around 700-800k. Contact some home builders and see what they would pay for it as a tear down.

Not sure why you're throwing out random numbers.. there hasn't been a sale in the last year under 975k in the area if you don't count the ones on vale rd.

This is not a random number. I looked at Redfin for lots and houses that were recently torn down. Most 2 acre lots in Oakton are selling in the the 600k. I was saying that you might be able to get 700-800k since it is part of an equestrian community. It is definitely a tear down, and no one will pay even a million dollars for that house. The sooner you accept that, the sooner you will be able to sell this property.

Again with the random numbers, you need to provide examples. Where are these 2 acre lots in Oakton for 600k? I'm not sure if you're from the past.

NP here. We owned in 22181, 22046, and 22201 and that area is correctly characterized as boonies.

It's horribly outdated.

I've never heard of 22181, I know 22046 is Falls Church City and 22201 sounds like Arlington ( lived in 22205 and 22043 for a long time, so right next to you!). Oakton is outside of the Beltway and definitely further away, but it's hardly the boonies. That house is probably 15 minutes from Falls Church City. That's not the Boonies.

It's Vienna. Maybe at 4 AM, because you know that by 5 AM the early warriors are already clogging all the roads. Especially with the RTO, I'd not buy outside the beltway if possible.
