Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Largest Manor
In this regard, it is much better to buy a sports car in the United States than in China.
There are also those tariffs and the like, in short, it is really not worth buying a sports car in China.
Winthrop, this is Lin Yi's destination this time. There is a seaside ranch here.
The integration of the sea and the ranch is the most perfect appearance in Lin Yi's heart, so Lin Yi also has a great interest in this ranch.
After an hour's drive, Lin Yi arrived at this ranch. At this time, in his eyes, this manor called Oak Tree is really beautiful, looking through the car window, the first thing that comes into view is a green sea of grass, about knee-high blades of grass, swaying gently with the breeze, and farther away, it is a large forest, because this is a coastal area after all, the sea breeze will be very strong, and it is natural to plant trees to weaken the effect of the wind on the grassland.
On the other side of the forest, there is a small hill with a height of about a few tens of meters, although it is not a high mountain, but if it is by the sea, the value of these small hills increases in a straight line.
After all, these small hills are definitely more windproof than the woods, and with the trees planted on them, this is simply the best windproof.
Through the path through the small hills, at a glance is a sea, and the hundreds of meters of meadow, in the middle of the sea and green grass, is a golden sandy beach, on the other side of the beach, there is a small manor, where a lot of small trees are planted, but Lin Yi knows, those are not actually trees, but grape trellises, this manor, the biggest advantage, is a set of pastures, fisheries, wineries as one of the comprehensive estate, it can be said that no matter what you want to play, there are here!
Looking at the scenery in front of him, Lin Yi couldn't help but sigh, judging from the current situation, this is the place he is most satisfied with.
Because it has been abandoned for a while, there are hardly any cattle or living creatures.
But just this piece of natural landscape is enough for Lin Yi's heart to transfer, the car drove for about ten minutes before coming to the door of this large ranch, at this time there was a middle-aged man, who was standing in front of the ranch, seeing the car slowly driving in, a trace of worry flashed on his face, but he still raised a smile and greeted him.
"Hello, my name is Sean Revens, the person who is now guarding this ranch, and it's a pleasure to meet you. ”
"Well, hello. Lin Yi smiled in return.
I shook hands with this middle-aged man, this is a pair of very powerful, and it is covered with calloused hands, it seems that this man should be a good hand at doing things.
Well, it's possible that these big rough hands are also ......
Hey, think about it, after all, this place is so big, there is no one within a radius of more than ten kilometers.
So Lin Yi was very suspicious that this was a pair of unicorn arms, looking at these rough hands and thick arms, how many years of kung fu had to be practiced.
"I'll show you around the manor. Sean Ravens, leaning slightly to reveal a path, said.
"Okay. Hearing this Sean Revens's words, Lin Yi also nodded, and then he and the other two followed the middle-aged man into the manor.
In Europe, the United States, Canada, and Australia, the units used to buy land are similar to those in China, which are also acres, but acres, and one acre is equal to six acres of land.
If you say Texas, Montana and other places, the price of this land is really not high, an acre is about 1,000 US dollars to 2,000 US dollars, if it is New Mexico, an acre of land is not even 1,000 US dollars, and some sellers who are eager to sell even pressed the land to 550 US dollars at the lowest time.
But this price, in the east is not to think about it, you must know that the land in the east is expensive, there is no reason at all!
As for the eastern metropolitan area, Massachusetts doesn't have to think about it, let alone Boston.
Before Lin Yi came, his secretary Dawson Eyre specially helped to deal with all the price information, near Boston, the average price of land here is 3,000-8,000 US dollars per acre, and at the same price, you can buy six acres of land in Montana, but here, it is only worth one acre.
According to the information, the estate has a total of 210,000 acres of land on land alone, including 180,000 acres of grazing land and 200 acres of woodland.
The trees planted in these woodlands are more than ten years old, if Lin Yi buys here, then these are all owned by Lin Yi, as long as Lin Yi is willing, he can cut them down at any time, but when the snowstorm or typhoon comes, and it suffers losses, don't look for a place to cry, the manor without trees to cover it, the insurance company will not insure it.
There is also a 5,000-acre vineyard with a variety of grapes, but the vines are growing very well without management for a few years, but if the vines grow too much, the grapes will not grow very well.
Although the wine produced here is only a hundred dollars of table wine, it is very high, and the vineyards alone are worth hundreds of millions.
The entire estate is about 900 square kilometers, which is the size of more than a dozen Hong Kong. The entire estate spans three counties and has thirty kilometers of coastline, and the ownership of the fishing grounds represented by this thirty kilometers of coastline also belongs to this estate.
This means that the area of this fishery has reached 5,000 square kilometers.
Fresh water resources are abundant, and there are two special lakes on the estate, as well as dozens of small lakes of various sizes. The two largest lakes are a saltwater lake with an area of three square kilometers, which is relatively close to the sea, and the other is a freshwater lake with an area of 30 square kilometers, and a small island in the center of the lake is the size of 10 square kilometers, which means that the water area is 20 square kilometers.
This is one of the largest estates in Massachusetts, and the owner of the estate was in urgent need of a large amount of money to pay off the bank loan because of a large loss in the futures market, and mortgaged this estate for $700 million, but the reserve price at that time was much lower than it is now.
And now, the other side is asking for $1.2 billion. Of course, if you don't want to buy the estate as a whole, you can divide the estate.
The bank has been holding this estate in its hands for a long time, because it has not been sold and has not operated, so not only has it has no income every year, but it has to pay taxes.
"The price is too high. Lin Yi shook his head.
"Boss, if you really want to buy it, this manor should be able to buy it for 1 billion. Secretary Dawson reminded him at the right time.
This sentence made Lin Yi feel that the secretary's salary was really not in vain, and it would not be 200 million cheaper all of a sudden.
"Are you sure?"
"Of course, after all, although this manor is big, it is precisely because it is big that it is difficult to get it, and if this manor is divided, a large part of it will be difficult to sell, and the price will be too high if it is sold as a whole. I have inquired, this manor was mortgaged with 700 million yuan three years ago, and the bank has been losing money here, so if it can be sold, it is naturally the best choice. So this one price is promising. Secretary Dawson said slowly.
