Crypto holders on the hunt for a real property can now spend their digital assets on a 187-year-old estate in a Connecticut town.<\/p>\n
According to the propertys listing agent, the seller of a 4.3-acre farmhouse compound in Greenwich is now accepting crypto assets as a form of payment for the $5,995,000 asking price of the property.<\/p>\n
The main residence at the heart of the property, known as the Levi Ireland house, was built in 1835 and was designated as a landmark in the wealthy town where homeowners tend to have several other homes for weekend retreats.<\/p>\n
The house spans over 4,200 square feet and features five bedrooms, three bedrooms and a powder room. A carriage house with three bedrooms and a one-bedroom guest cottage also lie on the property.<\/p>\n
In an interview with CNBC in May, Kevin Sneddon, the propertys listing agent, says that the propertys owner holds a lot of virtual assets and actively trades them. He says the unidentified seller will take top crypto assets Bitcoin (BTC) or Ethereum (ETH) as payment for the home.<\/p>\n
Despite the volatile nature of digital assets, the seller has no plans to convert the potential cryptocurrencies received as payment for the home to cash or other assets.<\/p>\n
Shes not going to turn it over and convert it to anything else. Shes going to add it to her crypto portfolio.<\/p>\n
