28 Thunder Mountain Rd
28 Thunder Mountain has sold for $4.490 million, a pretty good deal for the buyer (who rented in May with an option to buy, discovered he liked his neighbors and neighborhood, and decided to stay. The sellers paid $5.650 for the home in 2008, right at the peak of the market, so they didn’t make out as well.
Thunder Mountain building lot
Speaking of peaks, a client of mine owns 2.6 acres at the top of the hill here (where you can look down on the new owners of 28), approved for building, with spectacular views. He got it at a low enough price that there’s room for a tidy profit while still offering someone who wants to build his own home an affordable lot for a $4.5 million home. This is an ad for that property, I suppose but heck, but we had to do that sometime.
Write me: I’ll throw in a Chevy Volt.

For What It's Worth 
In the second photo, of the plot of land for sale, is the Merritt in the background? Is that the spectacular view?
In fact, no – the lot’s on the other side of the road, noise is minimal, and the views are west and south.
Ok. When I enlarged photo, it looks like a road at about 1pm.
I’ll take it if you throw in a loaded Escalade.
Looks like a roof, not a road.
I can’t tell the exact location of the camera, but it looks like the Lewis and Clark Highway outside of Bozeman – see the Rockies in the distance? Incredible view.
We can do that, easy; we’ll just jack up the price $75,000. Builders do it all the time – where do you think wine cellars and finished basements come from?
Noise would be unbearable if it were someone else’s listing.
Try it yourself: drive up, listen. We report (or plug) you decide.
One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.
Probably less noisy than a lot of the homes in Belle Haven.
Thunder Mountain? There are no mountains in Greenwich.
Does soursop fruit kill cancer? Probably bullshit, but if I had cancer, I’d give it a try.

have you ever been on Thunder Mountain?? It feels like you’re in Vermont
Thunder Mountain, elevation: approx. 260 ft. Killington Vt., elevation: 4,236 ft. Hmmm.
Well Vermont may be stretching it a bit (although there is White River Junction), but it’s a nice street.
I agree – the buyer did extremely well here. That’s a nice big house for the money. http://photoplan.planomatic.com/15435
CF, I may be naive but if a spectacular 7400 sq ft property on 2+ acres just sold for 4.5mill, why would a 2.6 acre property with NO HOUSE be worth the same money, view aside?
Because you can build your burger the way you like it just like at Burger king? ‘Cause you don’t have to go through the trouble of picking out those cheap dill pickles or scraping the mustard off your bun.
No, Mickster, perhaps I was unclear: the land could be purchased at a price low enough to permit, say, spending $2+ million constructing a house, and the total all-in cost would still be below what the neighbor down the hill just paid.
Have a great time in St. Barts, you feckless Irishman, you, and happy birthday. Watch that landing!
Mickster, I think you misread the post. What CF is saying is that for the price of the property plus 4.5 million you could build your own MickMansion which would cost you no more than the 4.49 million that your soon to be neighbor spent. So you can pick up the property for (-)$10,000 (sweet), then get to pay taxes on the assessed value (bummer). And he’ll throw in some sort of torque meister electric vehicle to sweeten the pot. Though I have to agree with Cobra that there is no replacement for displacement.

On zillow, what is at the end of Memory Lane?
Is it a cemetary?
Hebrew cemetery – very quiet.
As opposed to those always rocking Christians plots.
Exactly – you know, rising from the dead, boulders being thrust aside, archangels blasting on trumpets, and so on. It’s living hell, I tell you!
