Ok, I should provide some details. It shouldn't surprise you to learn that this is 1 BR, 1 BA. I bet the "bathroom" is to do your business off the deck. 527 sq ft, built in 1925.
The realtor write-up:
Affordable opportunity. Fixer upper. As is sale.
Wow this is just amazing.
If these P.O.S's sell do they appraise for value? How could a place like that increase in value? looks like it can only go down to me.
The Marin County market is in need of a serious correction.
The tar paper roof. The tin smoke stack, the plywood deck, and the foreground wall looks like it is made from fencing. This thing looks like some poor sob went to the local hardware store or scrounged up some stuff and built his own domicile on some land he had. And for something like that you have to pay nearly a half of a million dollars! Unbelievable! Do people not see how insane this is? Yet people still pay it!

In fairness I think that IS a fenced off area in the foreground. But I agree with everything else you point out.
I've seen better looking hide-outs, and chicken sheds.
ROFLMAO! Nearly $1000/SF for that?! I think we have sunk to a new low in realtor/owner hubris.
I would love to go to the open house just to see what the realtor's pitch sounds like.

Welcome to the Dark Side, my young apprentice.
But it does make "Dude, Where's the Car?" look like luxury.

Call them. Let us know what they say. I can't do it because I think there must be a death warrant out there for me (just kidding).
Forest Knolls...now there's a nice commute--and for that hippie shack? Sigh.
At casual glance, it looks as if sellers are still optimistic--but are these homes selling?
This place reminds me of one I went thru back in Maine in the 80's. (the up side is they wanted 29K not 450)
It was abandoned and smelt of raw sewage inside.
When I mentioned the smell, the realtor played dumb with a "Huh?"
It was a pretty surreal experience.
Yes, please somebody make an appointment to go through this place and report back!
Here is the shot of the interior:

nice furnace.
Yes, there is a resemblance to the Unabomber's cabin:

So I would add to the realtor's write-up something along the lines "All you need now is a manifesto and you're set".
This is why god gives you forest fires.
LOL
Just how DO you get a singlewide into a tree? Was there a tornado and the owner decided it was OK way up there and to build around it?
Did any of you ever think it may be a knock-down.
it could be in a beatiful location, now build a home for 300-400k on top..you'd be surprised.
HOO-BOY, check out the mini-ski slope "backyard" and the leaning trees. BWAAAAHAAAAAA!!!!!
Hey guys, this _must_ be a joke!
