Should We Buy a Large Coastal Garden?

Looking West to the South Island from Titahi Bay

This is pretty much the view I’m in love with. And although the house is not the house of my dreams – it could be with a new kitchen and bathroom. I don’t mind doing the work and we can budget the cost.My biggest issue is the garden. It’s a gardener’s delight – which makes it my nightmare – I like gardens to look at, I just don’t like gardening. I’ve tried, several times, but the results are almost always worse than before I started!But we keep coming back to that view (the image above was taken from nearby). We’ve looked at other houses -one had a similar spectacular view – which was quite exciting- until we discovered that the back section’s driveway pretty much robbed this property of most of it’s privacy.Last night I wanted to put an offer in. This morning I didn’t! In the meanwhile I’ve sent an application in to the bank to see if they will come to the party.
