This old two-story home in Monticello, Florida is a project waiting for the right person. Built in 1914, it sits on a little over half an acre and has the kind of space that’s hard to find in a house this price. It’s being sold as-is, cash only, so this one is for buyers who don’t mind rolling up their sleeves.

1150 Sage St, Monticello, FL 32344 — $108,000

The Basics

This is a five bedroom, two bathroom house with 2,612 square feet of living space spread across two stories. That’s a lot of room to work with, whether you’re planning to fix it up and live in it or turn it into a rental.

5 bedrooms
2 full bathrooms
2,612 sqft total living area
Two story layout
Built in 1914

Outside The House

The lot is 0.63 acres, giving you a decent yard without a ton of upkeep. There’s a front porch, which fits right in with the age of the house, plus a carport for parking. The roof is shingle.

Inside The House

Utilities

The house is hooked up to public water and public sewer, and electricity is available on the property. Heating and cooling are listed simply as “other,” so it’s worth asking the listing agent for more detail there before you make an offer.

The Numbers

This is where the deal gets interesting. At $108,000, that works out to about $41 per square foot, which is well below what you’d pay for a move-in ready home in the area. The county has it assessed at $112,165, with annual taxes around $2,655. There’s no HOA to worry about either.

Why It’s Getting Attention

The listing calls it an investor special, and it’s easy to see why. It’s a cash-only sale, which usually means the house needs work that a traditional lender wouldn’t approve for financing. But for someone with the cash and the vision, a five bedroom house on over half an acre for under $110,000 is a rare find these days. It’s already picked up thousands of views and dozens of saves since it went on the market, and it’s expected to sell faster than most other listings in the area.
