When one of the roofs is also a swimming pool I think that is a major liability. Likely a major item on the insurance policy.


There is a 6 bedroom 7 bath house next door for $15 million


It is difficult to know why a 7 bedroom, 13 bath house is worth $32 million Is the extra bedroom worth a million dollars? The extra wading pool? How much for the extra half baths?

Of course, there is an 8 bedroom 21 bath house across the street going for $78 million.

Looks nice. He designed it himself. He's got enough money to burn I'm sure.

I was watching a testing video today of a new FPV drone and they flew over this house coming up just after the 5:35 mark. I think it might be something other than a house..

Isn't your wife half your age? Didn't anybody
explain the rules to you before you got married?


She just looks half my age! There are 8.5 years between us.

My first wife was 8 years older than me. Current wife is 10 years younger. It was a great trade.

That estate was listed for $59 million a few years ago and reduced to $39 million.

I have to believe that the only way it is worth that much money is if they can develop multiple homes on the 300 acres. That is a nice looking house, but not a $40 million house.

An ugly 4 bedroom Knotty Pine house for 39 million?
What a joke.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

That is only $130,000 an acre. My home sits on a little less than a 1/4 acre and would be valued at over $2 million dollars an acre. $130,000 an acre sounds like a steal to me.

I said it does not seem overvalued if the land is available for development.

Even a modest urban area land sells for at least $130K an acre, but I am willing to bet his land is not zoned for development.
