That's a good breakdown, do you happen to know when that property was constructed? I'd imagine it'll be more expensive now
we moved into the house nov 1st

to fence in ( just cement poles, barbed wire) will set ya back around $800

Looks neat, But really not designed for the hot climate.. small windows with little to no natural ventilation/airflow.
It hopefully has airconditiong? as it looks like it would be very hot tbh..
I think more windows makes a house more hot, not less, assuming they are glazed.

Loads of cheaper houses have single brick walls. Doubling it makes a major difference, so do higher ceilings.

double bricked, 2.8 m dropped ceilings
Gables ( as u can see) help with keeping the attic cooler
great air flow thru the house
