Five Bedrooms, 1.5 Acres, and a Renovation in Progress — $90,000

The math here is the thing that stops you. Five bedrooms, 1.5 acres, a two-car garage, a carport, a covered outdoor shelter, and additional outbuildings, all for $90,000 in Tell City, Indiana. That combination doesn't come together often at this price.

The house is a 1990 build, 1,152 square feet, which means those five bedrooms are small. No way around it. At that square footage, you're looking at rooms that work as bedrooms technically, but you should go in with accurate expectations about size. If your priority is the land, the outbuildings, and the bedroom count over bedroom size, the math still holds up.

Work has already started inside. The roof and siding are newer. There's been some flooring work, kitchen updates including appliances and cabinets, bathroom updates, and new fixtures. The agent description lists these as started, not finished. This is an active renovation, and whoever buys it will be crossing the finish line, not standing at the start. How much is left depends on what you see when you walk through. Cash or conventional financing only, which tells you something about where the property sits condition-wise.

Outside is where the property opens up. A full 1.5 acres in a country setting gives you real room to move. The two-car detached garage is a substantial piece of infrastructure on its own. Add the carport, the covered outdoor shelter, and whatever the additional outbuildings are, and there's a lot of usable structure out there beyond the house itself. If you run a small business, store equipment, or just want space to work on things, that matters.

This property makes the most sense for someone who can finish what's been started and wants the acreage and outbuilding setup more than they need a polished interior. At $90,000, you have room in the budget to get there.
