This one bedroom , one bathtub cabin in the Alfred Hawthorne above Malibu is nothing fancy : It was built in the 1940s , it ’s serviced by malicious gossip roads , and it necessitate “ major remodeling . ” In fact , you have to get all the way into the 2d paragraph of the listing to see the cabin ’s biggest merchandising point : The cabin mayhap might potentially could perhaps be sitting on top of buried gem .
From thelisting : “ Original owner believed there was a buried Spanish amber in the large rock next to the house and spent many years digging three mine shafts to endeavor to find it . It is unknown if he was successful . ”
That very carefully worded statement tells you everything you need to know about this cabin and its three mine scape : The original possessor probably give out desperate and delusional , burble on his deathbed about the gold that was rightfully his , dammit .
And , for only $ 579,000 , you could end up just like him .
But wait a second , you believe . Just imagine the advance in applied science since the 1940s . He in all likelihood did n’t have any of the tools that you have at your disposition — like really good , really sore , really expensive metallic element detectors . In fact , you already bought one , just in case . If that gold ’s down there , you ’ll definitely be able to retrieve it .
There ’s some other stuff in the listing , about 40 estate of solid ground , and some great views , and a private well on the holding , but blah blah blah who care . You ’re on your agency to the bank to secure a loan . By this time next yr , that Au will be all yours . ALL YOURS ! ! ! [ EstatelyviaCurbed LA ]
