Finding land to place a free home that needs to move can be a challenge. If you are interested in owning a free turn-of-the-century home in Keene, you might not have that problem. This house has three upstairs bedrooms, two living rooms, a kitchen/dining room, an office, and one bath.

The foundation of the home is not in good shape. However, a new foundation has to be built in the new location. Moving costs are estimated to be around $10,000 to $20,000. The house may be demolished as early as mid-June to early July 2009.

If you move the house into the rural area of Kenesaw or even build a house on one of the specified lots within a year, you can also get land for free. The land is available from a nonprofit organization that is trying to increase the number of residents in the area. The lots are already prepared for residential construction with necessities such as water, sewage, and a road. Interested parties have to pay $500 in earnest money which will be refunded after their home begins construction. Any new residents would also have to follow any covenants in the Kenesaw area. At least six lots may still be available.
