Title: House for sale - lake anna, mineral VA
Post by: notig on February 20, 2013, 12:50:26 AM
First let me say this is my Dad's house. I have talked him into getting involved with bitcoin.  Also I don't really know how this transaction would work. But I thought it can't hurt to throw it out there.

Here is the house listing: http://mrislistings.mris.com/Matrix/Public/Portal.aspx?ID=50360864849
The list price is 298k. (So that would be about 10k bitcoins)

Any offers or inquiries (or knowledgeable help) are welcome.

edit: there is no outstanding mortgage on the house it is fully owned by the seller, my father

Hopefully for your dads sake 10kBTC won't go back down to the value of a pizza, once the house is sold.  That would require a trip out to the woodshed..

Have you considered listing your house with any of the many bartering sites or clubs out there (since that is what you are attempting = bartering a house for Bitcoin)? Here are a couple:

Ideal for a mining operation because there's a nuclear power plant right in the backyard  ;D  Free electricity?

How far from the lake?
Is there really a nuke plant nearby?

The lake itself was built to cool the nuke plant. Half of it is warm and the other half is cool.... this house is on the cool side. There is a map on the link and you can see it's relation to the water. If you scroll up it allows you to zoom in and the map turns into real photos. There is access to a public dock and a boat slip.. a gazebo and picnic area is there for parties by the water.

As far as financing I'll ask my him about that. No offers yet.

Just having some fun and posting in a hopefully house sold for bitcoin thread! Virginia is awesome. Good luck! :)

lol

I've caught a few decent sized fish. There were no offers though; I don't think many people have stacks of 10k bitcoins laying around.
