Howard-Smith says that “we definitely spent a lot of money to make it very, very nice, and we can safely say that we spent more than we’re asking to sell it for.”
Paying Off
In his mind, the investment paid off. “My wife and I were fortunate enough to have a child, and my parents were fortunate enough to live next-door,” he says. “That was one of the highlights of the whole thing. It was our intention to live in a beautiful location and to enjoy life.”
Now though, Howard-Smith says that that enjoyment means moving on.
“It’s not something we want to sell,” he says, “it’s just the timing in life.” Even now though, the family has spent the last few months on the land; at a time when many people are self-isolating, the property has proven a refuge.
“Potentially,” he says, “we’ve built something ahead of its time.”
