    That's just beautiful dude!

    Brings new meaning to "a man's home is his castle" doesn't it?

    What the picture does not show is the 2 car garage that will allow me to have one of the P cars full time at home, as opposed to 85 miles away. Of coures the view is breathtaking, the neigbours far enough that I can't hear them, my work place in the valley is a 7 minute drive away and no one can build anywhere near...
    It was worth it, even at the cost of selling that RS...
    I ceratainly can appreciate the noise and neighbor part. I would sell more than an RS (if I had such things) to have what you have. Simply spectacular.

    What is the structure to the right of the tree?

    What a beautiful spot!

    Amazing what €100,000 can buy in Switzerland!

    We lose more cars that way... I'd do the same in a heartbeat. I'm in the market myself and the Porsches are looking a bit nervous. They can sense it you know.

    Seriously, congratulations. I have a sneaky suspicsion that an early car is in your near future. One that you'll be able to build to your own custom specs and drive the snot out of not be worried about damaging.

    Wise choice.

    I've always considered the glass to be half full...that is until I reached middle age and realized that it is actually half empty.

    Not a bad choice George. Earlier this week I was mulling it over...thinking of selling my car to finance a game room addition to the house. I have the hots for a 9' Brunswick table, and no place to put one. Alas, a quick check of today's construction costs changed my mind.

    Is that cars eyes watering ? - breaking up IS hard to do.
    Amazing that little beauty is worth as much as that house.
    Wise move. Good luck to the both of you.

    John,

    Don't pack up the wife and kids just yet, I don't knwo about Sion, but a place like that near Zurich would set you back seven figures...

    But maybe the French side is out of favour at the moment
