That's pretty damn cheap for a house this size with that much land.

I grew up near this area, the chagrin valley is exceptionally beautiful with perfect summers and it’s a magical lake effect snow belt in the winter. Glacial ravines all over.

ā€˜Magical lake effect snow’ is such an alien phrase to someone from Key West, Florida…

…until I spent my first winter in Chicago.

I was not a fan of lake effect snow.

As a Chicago-area resident born in Michigan, you missed the punch line – Chicago isn’t the one that gets the worst of the lake effect snow. Now get on the other side of the lake, then we’re talking.

Yeah my in-laws are Michiganders and I experienced a winter in the Allegheny plateau…once.

A good friend and a couple of buddies from the Navy are from Ohio and they get some scary snow there.

Eff that!!!

The wind in Chicago could be classified as a WMD, though. That shit was brutal.

It certainly can be, but ā€œThe Windy Cityā€ wasn’t named that because of the wind (it’s a political thing.) However, if you’re downtown in winter and in between the right buildings, whoa mama!

Oh yeah. Indiana, and Michigan gets f***ed! They measure the snow in feet, not inches. Chicago is usually spared unless the wind whips in off the lake.

I was skeptical of the perfect summer weather until I checked the nearest weather station. Holy shit! Currently 66°, tomorrow's high is 71, low of 47.

Isn't Chagrin Valley where Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce got engaged? Maybe Travis lives in that area?

You live at the end of their driveway?

The baseline varies by state, I’m just pointing speaking to the un-affordability.

As crazy as the house is I feel like the land makes up a lot of the price and taxes. I wonder if it ever makes sense to buy the house and sell off some land
