Has anyone ever seen this type of idea before?

With average costs of around $400k to buy and $19k annual fee I can't see many people doing this. Even if I had the money I think I would buy my own boat

I'd rather own my own boat too (as if I had the funds!

) but that's a cool concept!

Might be interesting for one season, but if I had that money I'd want to see the rest of the world too.

you can get a houseboat in Seattle for average $ 395,000 upward. A luxury one will run over 1mil http://www.duckin.com/listings/10roanoke13.php

Goin' down the Tombigbee Waterway ? Would it fit ? I know barges go down it, but it's a little curvy and narrow in places.

I think it's pretty neat.

I guess if you are retired it could be neat.

Too safe for me...

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -Mark Twain

If you are retired... I could see doing it for a 3 years or so? see middle america enjoy different places.

Also... if you gave up your regular land house... some of the lower houses are certainly in the lower 300,000 in florida that gets you a crappy condo. These are new, with better views, and no hurricanes.

Just knowing the housing market for snowbirds here in florida... it ain't a bad idea.

It's a floating barge that appears to have pre-fab type/overseas containers stacked on it!? No different than the barges I see on the waterways now stacked with overseas containers only this one is "prettier".
