Oooh, 111-TCE. The odor you’ll never forget.

what a quaint, Normandy farmhouse, with a white picket fence, even! Personally, I like the neighborhood; TCE contaminants are a non-issue. Add a few gun turrets, and presto — instant Green zone, with a rustic, Third World appeal. Burbed, what a zesty find. Woot!

If you check Toxmap (http://toxmap.nlm.nih.gov/toxmap/main/index.jsp) near this house and click on Toxic Release Inventory, you will find that this area is great if you like chemicals…

Toluene, Xylene, 1,1,1 Trichloroethane and more! Those smell fantastic in case you don’t know.

The Army could buy the site, build an MOUT training center, and hire bums off the street as “terrorists”.

I dunno, with all the utility trucks littering the grounds I think there was probably some digging going on. Which is all part of the EPA “special.”

@DensityDuck

You’re correct. Burbed completely missed the point. The lot size is large enough for the security precautions you’ll need to live in that neighborhood. You say walled compound, I say full-on moat with drawbridge driveway.

I guess we know where Dmitry Orlov’s new digs will be……

Looks like a fly-by-night condo developer is trying to exit the market.

On the other hand, you could make a pretty decent walled compound on 32,000 square feet. Install a helipad, hire armed guards, you’ve got yourself a dream house!
