Doesn't sound like such the fixer-upper to me. It sounds really nice.
And does the bathroom really need to be gutted? Sure, there may be some rot in the walls, but is it so bad they need to be ripped apart? You don't always have to fix every defect in a house. Just stabilize things so they don't get worse, and fix things enough so that they work to your liking. If the plumbing isn't working well, focus on that. If there is a leak somewhere that's rotting out the walls, fix the leak. But if the walls still seem sturdy and support the load above, then who cares if there's a little rot? It will stop once you dry it out. Obviously, you can see it, and I can't, but it's something to consider.
I don't know anything about pools, but have heard that salt water ones are much cheaper and easier to maintain. Have you looked into that?
