Hat tip to daytrip for sending in this cliff-front house on the edge – hopefully someone has a camera on this 24/7!

A luxury house in Texas, perched on a cliff with a spectacular view of Lake Whitney, has started falling into the water. The edge of the 4,000-square-foot  home was dangling about 75 feet above the rocky shoreline after part of it had  already broken off.

Soil and other debris could be seen falling occasionally from the foundation of the home at the 0.46-min mark.

A small sign  reading “Extreme danger. Stay off premises” was placed in the front yard as neighbors looked on helplessly.

    Indeed, and if those folks wanted to sell, somebody would buy it.

    Reminds me of 630 Neptune in Leucadia, which fely like the same predictament. The deck was hanging on the edge, just waiting for a gust of wind to take it down the 80-ft cliff, and the house right behind it.

    Here is the sales history:

    1992 = $610,000
    1995 = $150,000 (REO first listed at $495,000)
    1998 = $380,000

    Price will fix anything!

    This is what I suppose you could call “Living on the edge of disaster”?
