A whopping 30 years later they started talking about developing it.
Twenty years after that, they put the first three houses on the market.
This is just so wrong.
I wonder what the story is on the other two houses in the area. I counted the empty and for sale plots and it ties to the 28 mentioned in the article, so those two were probably built before 1992.
Actually, the timing kind of makes sense. Real estate here entered the doldrums beginning around 1992, so they probably put the whole idea on the shelf. Then for whatever reason they were preoccupied during the early 2000’s. They got around to re-starting the project around 2007. Then they sank a good $million or so into the three houses, assuming that real estate was going to come back some time soon. They certainly have patience; the houses have been on the market more than a year. I would be willing to bet, with the owners’ advancing age, the whole project sits for another year until it is sold in its entirety, or the houses break down from neglect and are bulldozed.
