Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Killington real estate

God, nature, and chance must be against me, because I failed to win that $300 million Powerball. Oh well, maybe next time. And when I do, I'll buy a nice ski place near Killington.


The one pictured is for sale. I think it's ugly, but it would work OK as a party house.

I don't know, N.J. Couldn't you find a nicer looking house in an area you want for $2M? But then, maybe it just needs some new paint! :-)

"But then, maybe it just needs some new paint! :-)"

My thoughts exactly, at least looking at the outside.
Whitewashed walls, blue or black roof tiling, and it looks quite different.
Might want to put in a window in that large blind wall, but of course we don't know what's behind it.
Maybe eventually some skylights in the roof, looks like you could put a few rooms on the attic and it'd break it up a bit too.

Since you like lotteries and homes near ski resorts, you could kill two birds with one stone by entering HGTV's 2011 Dream House drawing for a home in Stowe, VT, a GMC Denali and $500,000 (the cash is to help pay the taxes).

If entries run true to form, there will be about 39-40 million entries, but I'm sure you could be the one to win. And the house is much nicer than the one you have pictured.

(I really wanted to win the Dream House in Sonoma a couple of years ago, but for some reason I didn't win.)
