  1. Wow the barn alone is to die for!! I love rounded doors and shutters.

    I think I'm just a little bit shy of the asking price so I'd better not. lol

  2. Actually, that price looks really low for that amazing property. There are crappy NEW houses on Long Island being sold for that amount, and this place trumps them all. If only...
