Response to Would it be worth it?

Jan, you don't mention your location, but several thoughts occur to me. the distance between well and house strikes me as excessive. Was the original homestead closer? If there is another, closer well, and the former residents weren't using it, that carries a whole other set of messages. Is the climate such that you can build and use a rainwater collection system for garden irrigation? Considering the inconveniences of the water situation, is the price low enough to compensate for hte cost of drilling a new well, assuming that's an option? And would a bank fold the cost of a new well into the mortage, since it would presumably increase the value of the property? As attractive as that granary is, the rest of the property seems to carry a lot of baggage with it that you might not want to inherit.
