About Louisville's Douglass Hills

One of the best aspects of living in Douglass Hills is the convenience of the park. Regardless of your age or interests, the park offers plenty to do. From a playground to tennis courts to sand volleyball pits to bike trails and open space for soccer, football, or frisbee golf; this green space has plenty for kids of all ages. Grills and picnic tables are available for family gatherings, quiet picnics, etc. There's even a large gazebo if your get-together is requires more space. Finally, the Douglass Hills pool is adjacent to the park.

While this public space is convenient to most of Middletown, there is nothing quite like being within walking distance. This is a tremendous amenity for Douglass Hills residents.

How would you like to buy a house for $50? Now hold on a second... this isn't a broken-down, slum of a home either. Did you see the photo? This home is in wonderful Douglass Hills!

I hear you thinking, "So what's the catch?"

Raffle Marketing in Louisville

Here's the deal, by buying a raffle ticket for $50, your name goes into a drawing. If enough tickets are sold (5,000) then the winning entry gets this house. You can buy as many tickets as you like. I know it's not conventional real estate marketing but in our market, sometimes it takes a novel approach to separate your home from the crowd.

And I think it's working! With stories by WAVE3, Family raffles house to raise money for mission work and WHAS11, Home in Douglas Hills for raffle, it looks like word is getting around.

I haven't even told you the best part. The homeowners, who happen to be friends of ours, are giving the proceeds of the sale of this home EDGE OUTREACH and are going to taking full-time jobs as mission workers in the Dominican Republic. EDGE focuses water purification in third-world countries where the "World Health Organization says that 80% of all sickness in the world is attributable to unsafe water and inadequate sanitation." What a great cause.

Head over to their site for the full rules, specs and more photos of their home. I wish my friends all the best!
