Jeff Grigg put this notice up on Mo Caves and since I enjoyed the
story and the web site so much I wanted to share it.
Interesting "house in the mouth of a cave" just South of Saint Louis:
While it's always been called "Caveland," it's a limestone sand mine,
not a natural cave. Kind of a small house, on a big natural lot. It
has character.
A balloon payment on his financing for the land, due now, in tough
economic times, is what's put them in a desperate financial
situation. Personally, I think his best bet would be to try to get
better financing on the land, on the logic that the "house" isn't
very saleable, and will deteriorate if abandoned.
Very interesting story. Lots of good pictures:
