We really love the house, but the driveway is long and incredibly steep, one of the steepest I have ever seen, honestly I dont know how they even got a permit for it.
Its an almost 30 degrees steep / 58% incline at the worst part and there is also a tight left hand turn at the top.
I managed to drive a 2wd honda hybrid up it , but it struggled and that was in the dry! It was a bit scary too and im fairly comfortable with my cars usually (do a bit of offroading and racing in my past)
We do also have a FJ Cruiser which would probably be fine and be actually quite fun, but I do also have a motorbike, which I wouldnt dare to.
It doesnt snow here so thats not an issue, but does get wet quite often.
We are stupid for even considering it right?
The temptation is huge, because it is a great house and will get discounted because of the fact.
Should we buy it? Or are extremely steep driveways every bit as bad as they seem...?
