For the Right Amount of Money, You Can Buy This House Alongside the Isle of Man TT Course

Consider this House Hunters: Motorcycle Enthusiast Edition

Kate’s Cottage is the background for Isle of Mann flybys since racing’s inception, and now it's up for sale.manxmove.im

Everyone that watches the television show House Hunters religiously (err, is forced to watch it) knows the story of boring suburban couples on a real estate quest for the "perfect house."

However, Cycle World has found the solution to these housing doldrums. Sure, granite countertops, hardwood floors, stainless appliances, and an open floor plan are nice, but what if your house could fulfill every riding dream you had, from your front lawn?

That's where an ad that we recently stumbled across comes into play.

Kate's Cottage is the background for Isle of Mann flybys since racing's inception. Built in 1850, it sits at the 34th mile of the TT Course, and has 2 bedrooms and 1 bath. It features such amenities as oil fired central heating, a wood store, garage, and parking for up to six vehicles outside. And now, it's up for sale from ManxMove.

Perhaps better than any of those conveniences is the fact that twice a year your view could be motorcycles being wrestled at the limits of traction with the sounds of fury wafting over your morning breakfast.

You can also take part in this tradition, as your commute, every day, with a garage large enough for a fleet of appropriate TT machinery...

The only deal breaker? No granite countertops, hardwood floors, stainless appliances, or open floor plan. Bummer.

If that (or the fact that it's located on an island between Great Britain and Ireland) don't deter you, here's a look at what could be your future abode.

At Kate's Cottage, you really couldn't get any closer to the TT course.manxmove.im
If you're worried about a wayward bike ending up in your front yard, don't be...manxmove.im
A lounge has a wood burning stove set in a fireplace and, "amazing rural views," according to the ManxMove ad, which only means it's windows are not directed at the course and you'll probably rarely spend much time in there.manxmove.im
No granite countertops here, unfortunately.manxmove.im
Or here... But remember, Isle of Man TT!manxmove.im
If you do desire views other than the race course, the one from the larger bedroom is said to be of the southern coastline.manxmove.im
After a long day of "commuting" on the course, you'll want to clean up.manxmove.im
Two parking areas are claimed to accommodate up to six vehicles, or even more motorcycles.manxmove.im
The views really are nothing to scoff at.manxmove.im
Plus, no neighbors to complain about noise.manxmove.im
But the best part? Owning a piece of history.manxmove.im

That slice of history will cost you of course, with Kate's Cottage listing for £275,000, or right around $392,035 based on current exchange rates.
