a blog about neo-agrarian problem solving, reclaiming the link between rustic and industrial.

 On an update of a previous post the Flick-Smart estate in Westkill NY is again on the market.

The sellers hope the hipster black paint on the asbestos siding and Birchfield lite wallpaper + Ikeaesque furnishings will lure (fishing pun) a new generation of well heeled neo-homesteaders.

The zany price history's lofty aspirations of windfall profits as the remote work from farmhouse crowd scoured the countryside for suitable lairs...

let's dig in to those numbers!

2001  sold for $53,000 

by 2010 they were ready to cash out and listed it for 

$175,000 but no takers... they had to tough it out for another 

seven years until in  2017  they found some new dreamers with $154,000

now eight years later those folks are ready to hit the road and are offering this 

hip lifestyle lodge for a whopping $799,000 ! 

we say good luck buddies!
