a bit of dreaming here...
my house is pier and beam, about 1300 sq ft. it's old and not so special. it had been a rental since the day it was built until we bought it a few years ago. in order to really update it, it needs to be gutted. another issue with the house is it's in a terrible spot on our property. we have almost 1.5 acres but another house was built next door about 20' away from the prop line. seems crazy to have space and still be jammed up next to another house.
anyway, any guesses as to how much it costs to move a house? i'm dreaming of buying a small lot in the same neighborhood and moving the house to sell it. then take the proceeds and build a decent house in a better spot on our land.
how crazy of an idea is this?
