Short-sale horse farm at the beach

I started thinking that my husband wants to retire to the beach in a few years and I want to ride my horses into the sunset. This does not jive at all. So I called an agent friend I have known for some time and said, "I need 4 or more acres of land within 20 minutes to Holden Beach, NC."

She said, "The market is awful down here, and I have quit selling homes. I am full time in school to become a radiologist. I know an agent who has a horse farm, short-sale property. Maybe he has others too."

So I contacted the agent, and sure enough there is a dynamite property available right now. Sixteen acres and a nine stall block barn with plenty of niceties. Eleven acres of fenced pasture (about). Oh, and it has a house, too. It was originally listed at $900,000 and has been reduced to $570,000. They will probably take under $400,000 for it.

Not sure if I can act that fast. But it sure sounds like it would make a great B&B for people who want to visit the beach and ride, too. What do you think?
