Nantucket House Offered for Free with Relocation Requirement Amidst Land Scarcity
A $3 million house on Nantucket, Massachusetts, is being offered for free under the condition that the new owner relocates it from its current site. This initiative is part of the island's Demolition Delay Bylaw program, which aims to prevent homes from being demolished and added to the island's limited landfill space. The house, located at 140 Surfside Road, is not threatened by erosion, a common issue in the area, but is being given away as the current owner likely values the land more than the structure itself. The process requires interested parties to submit a letter of intention and be prepared to move the house within 180 days. The cost of moving a house on the island can range from $150,000 to $500,000, which is significantly less than building a new home on Nantucket, where the median house price is $4.4 million.
