    No, you want to do that in 3-4 years, when the farm, barn and cars will be much cheaper.

    I think that is what happened, seen this somewhere else aswell.

    Think the owner died and the place was left empty for many years before being sold on. Apparently the barn was hidden away in a load of trees.

    Maybe this was his secret collection!
