Ray Kinsella's Moving Out, But Is Shoeless Joe Coming Along?With all apologies to the SC Real Estate Blog, we have some news that those of you in your 30's or 40's, with about $5 million extra sitting around might find interesting. Come to think of it, we might as well just e-mail this to Thomas Ravenel now....
It's scary when you do two Kevin Costner-related blog posts in a week, but we just report the news - we don't make it. The owners of the Dyersville, Iowa farm featured in the 1989 classic, Field of Dreams, are putting the house up for sale. It comes complete with the farmhouse, a few adjoining building, all 297 acres, and the ballfield that is still manicured. Although the asking price of $27000 and acre is way higher than the average $4500 for an Iowa cornfield, there is a bit of a kitsch factor: the farm is still one of Iowa's biggest attractions, getting 65,000 visitors a year. People WILL come, Ray...... although the owners never charged the $20 that Terrance Mann suggested. At this kind of coin, we suspect the new owners might have to, or the place will go into foreclosure....
On a side note, we just remembered that the Amityville Horror house is now up for sale as well for an asking price of $1.3 million, which is about the going rate for Long Island waterfront property - quite a hike from the 80K the Lutz's paid for it - before the voices screaming 'Get Out', the flies, the blood in the walls, and the pig in the windows. We'll make it easier for you - it just depends on whether you prefer this:
