Follow the yellow brick road...... down to the front door

I have a listing that is for a vacant SFH that is (in my humble opinion) a great starter house or down-sizing house for someone. It sits down the hillside of the street address..... and the driveway is the major hiccup in this listing (again, in my humble opinion).

It's at the point where there have been close to a 100 showings on this house since it was listed almost a year ago and we've been in contract twice (to have financial issues crop up on the buyer's end) and lots of positive feedback... except for the driveway.  

It's steep, no doubt about it, and it's the number one complaint in the agent feedback.

It would be cost prohibitive to regrade the driveway (if that's even possible given the lot).. I'm appealing to the greater intelligence here on BP - what can possibly be done to move this listing other than reduce the price, which we have and agent feedback is the the price is a fair reflection of the property as is.    

We have relisted it to give it a fresh set of eyes about  a month and a half ago. 

Any suggestions are appreciated.  Thank you!
