From time to time I surf through all of the Real Estate websites here. I see a lot of "descriptions" of highly overpriced "income" properties that really crack me up sometimes. This one is by far the best...

Sweet Basil's
Packed during the season!
Owners want to retire!
One of the islands best restaurants, known for their delicious salads!
What a deal...for a mere $300,000usd!!!!!!!!!!!!
:p
It also had a great color photo taken a few years ago. :rolleyes:

I see it is up for auction by the bank again, maybe the Anti's could get it for a clubhouse!!!

Denny, how much is in the dues fund??????? laugh

reaper, what do you think that the land and the house are worth without the business?

ETCHED, NO CRAYONS..... Do you need the correct spelling?

SS, Its worth what ever someone is willing to pay for it

I'm working on my Socratic method of teaching, Ernie.

SS, from what I have heard the inside is in shambles and the restaurant equipment is gone.
Amanda or Chris would have to speculate on the property value.
With a lot of TLC it could become the new "Hammock House"!
I'm thinking $75,000usd max.
It's a great ad though!

So, you're butt is outta joint?

Ernie, Socratic, not sciatic.

reaper, I'm surprised but then again, I don't know the size of the lot.

I read this and sigh... Sweet Basils was truly a highlight visit for my first 5 or so visits to AC.

If I had thought differently, I might have had the sense to grab this wonderful property and carried on its heritage... my Father having owned several restaurants in his life time. But, alas, that was not my fortee nor fortune. frown

reaper... there is plenty of money in the Treasury. However, we don't normally spend any of it. Thanks for inquiring though. eek

Common real estate blurb on this island:

1. Tiger Woods is building a championship 18 hole golf course "on the north part of the island."

2. KLM and United are collaborating on building an international airport "on the north part of the island."

3. Mexico is building a road bridge to join the rest of the Yucatan to Ambergris Caye.

Of course the above 3 statements, which many clients said they were told repeatedly, are utter crap.

IMO "Sweet Basil" is worth about $120-135K. It's a valuable lot in a highly desireable area with a wooden building on it which is falling into disrepair rapidly.

The Tiger Woods rumor may be coming true!!!
He has been going through the Advanced Freefall Course with some of my Navy Seal skydive pals.(no kidding)
He must be getting ready for the boogie...and then start building the golf course in March!

I heard it was AA and Lufthansa building the new SPIA!

And Corona Steve is bridging the Yucatan Gap!

And Amanda...what where A&A up to??

Chris...the poker trophy is looking good, are you ready??? laugh
Posted By: Chris Re: Creative Advertising!! - 10/30/06 10:11 PM
I am ready to enter the poker tourney. Those who see me play will know that I'm not ready to win.

Such a good sport to keep throwing your money in anyway.
