Chapter 70: The Villa in the Mountains
Waving goodbye to Lao Wei, the intermediary has already brought someone back and called Bill.
"Mr. Cliff, this is the owner, and he has asked the company for leave today to show you the property. ”
The agent enthusiastically introduced the owner to Bill, who was wearing an orange suit, a slender figure with a red bow tie at the neckline, much like a hotel manager.
"Very gladly, Mr. Cliff, let's hurry over, the villa is still some distance from the city. ”
"It's fine. ”
Together, they rode in a spacious carriage rented by Bill and slowly drove out of the city, where their destination was on the outskirts of the city.
Although the Norman capital was on the coast, the city was still some distance from the sea, and there were small towns and villages surrounding the city in four directions: east, west, north and south.
A few dozen kilometres from Brittus to the southwest is a narrow stretch of coastline, and the port of Rotterbeni is also in this direction.
Many institutions that are not suitable for settling in the city are located here, including the Royal Norman Academy of Natural Sciences, as well as military camps, sanatoriums, etc.
There are many private villas on the southeastern outskirts of the city, and the living environment here is first-class, not too far from the sea, but not affected by the noisy port, so the housing prices remain high, and it is definitely not an area that the average wealthy can afford.
As for the north side of Brittus, there is a large industrial park.
Although the industrial zone is divided into two major parts, light industry and heavy industry, the management did not think much about selling the land, resulting in the steel mill and textile factory adjacent to each other, and the glass factory and food factory as companions.
So the closer you are to the north, the lower the housing prices, and even the villages are dilapidated, with the young and able-bodied going to work in the factories during the day and returning exhausted at night.
As for where Bill plans to buy enough property, in the western suburbs of the mountains, the end of the mountains and forests is the sea, except for the slight distance to the northern industrial area, it can be regarded as a beautiful scenery.
I heard that when the developer opened the market, it used mountain villas and sea view suites as slogans, but later the government approved it......
"Mr. Cliff, seeing that you are not very old, you really have an eye for choosing a house, and you will definitely make money by buying this villa!"
"I'm in a hurry to use money now, otherwise I will never deal with real estate at a low price, and now that the economy is developing rapidly, I still have a house in my hand and feel at ease. ”
"Yes, Mr. Cliff, you may not know that the price of houses in the capital has gone crazy recently, and you will never be able to buy a single-family house anywhere else at this price!"
"I told you, three days ago, when an eldest brother bought a house, he said that he would go home and discuss with his wife, but when he made the decision to come to me yesterday, the house had already been sold at a higher price!"
"And ......"
The agent and the homeowner sang and harmonized, talking about Britts's house price in a big way, but Bill didn't speak, looking out the car window, very cold.
"Oh, wait until I see the house. ”
The houses on both sides of the road gradually dwindled, and the horse-drawn carriage began to accelerate as it entered the suburbs, and the wheels creaked against the gravel pavement.
Seeing that he was unmoved, the owner of the house couldn't help but get nervous.
He has been really anxious for money recently, and his recent investments in several properties have failed, and this property is the last asset he has turned around.
However, this mountain villa is also one of the failed investment projects, and he has been hanging this single-family villa in the intermediary and various streets and alleys for several months, and no one cares about it at all.
Not only his house, but the mountain villa area is simply a ghost area, and there is no community administrator, and the house was completely abandoned by the developer after it was sold.
And the villa here has become like this because of the decision of the Ministry of Planning three years ago, a decision that disregarded the opposition of the surrounding people.
The rescue service station for special vulnerable groups and patients with communication disorders was moved from the north to the mountains and forests in the west, and the rescue service station for special vulnerable groups and patients with communication disorders also had two aliases.
Psychiatric hospitals, lunatic asylums.
Since then, the prices of this beautiful and middle-class villa have plummeted, and no one wants to take over.
Rumor has it that several factory owners have jointly sent a large sum of money to the Ministry of Planning, so that no one wants to move next to the special agency.
The geographical location of the psychiatric hospital has undoubtedly had a huge impact on the surrounding development, and even the innocent town of Huibit, which was originally not far from the villa in the mountains, has begun to fall into ruin.
People say it's a psychiatric hospital that brings ominous ......
......
Some old wooden houses have appeared one after another, and they have entered the boundaries of the town of Whitbit.
"Mr. Cliff, this is the town of Whitbit, the town is very close to the villa area, ten minutes walk, so it is also very convenient to live in the villa. ”
"Oh yes, there's also a river in Whipbit Town, called the Ai River, and the water is crystal clear!"
Homeowners and agents were still selling, and Bill was looking out the window with his head on his lean, feeling the atmosphere of a century-old town.
He needs to determine whether his surroundings are really as desolate as he is rumored, and give him enough privacy and security.
The houses in the town are made of local honey-colored stone rocks, and although they are a little dilapidated, they have a complicated old flavor and retain the appearance of the original hundreds of years ago.
The town is small, with only a stone-slabbed arc and deserted paths, the ruins of a monastery, and a civilian cemetery set up further afield.
There is no smell of modernity in sight, there are no gas lamps on the main streets, and the pace of social progress seems to have stopped here.
There were no men and women in the prime of life in the streets, only rickety old men leading children, and if there was a wild beast invasion here, it would probably cause the whole town to perish.
Continuing west through the town of Whipbit, the carriage finally enters the boundary of the mountain villa area, where the climate is humid and pleasant, and the tree-lined path winds diagonally upwards to the separate villa compounds.
The carriage slowly stopped on the side of the road, and Bill wanted to take a field trip to his surroundings.
"How many villas are there?"
"Mr. Cliff, there are only twenty-two villas in this villa area, and the houses are 100 meters apart, so you can be sure that your life will not be disturbed by your neighbors!"
Bill asked casually, but the owner always gave extra explanations, but the more he explained, the more he revealed his eagerness to sell the villa.
They are under the shade of the trees, in the dense woods, and there is no large area of the sun shining on them at noon, and the fog here is clean and hazy, and it is very quiet.
The owner led Bill to walk around the area, and there were indeed only twenty-two villas, sparsely scattered and unaffected by each other.
However, Bill could clearly see that under the shade of the trees, the courtyard gate was overgrown with weeds, and the villas were all vacant, and they were all sold at the reserve price.
"By the way, where is the specific location of the mental hospital?"
"Ah, this, this......"
The homeowner and agent obviously didn't expect Bill to ask like this, they thought they had met an outsider and didn't know what was wrong with the villa.
"Mr. Cliff, I swear to you, this is far away from the service station for the disadvantaged, and the two areas are basically in a state of non-disturbance!"
"If you buy a villa and live on your own, it's absolutely clean and perfect to live in......"
Bill stood halfway up the hill and looked down, the owner still trying to explain, but the bell rang somewhere, and the sound echoed in the mountains.
The yin wind blew in an instant, and suddenly there was a strange laugh from the higher mountain peaks on the west side!
"Hahahahaha-"
"Woohahahahahaha
"Hahahahahahaha
"I'm not crazy! I'm not crazy!"
"Hahahahahaha
