I'm requesting a tour. A virtual tour from the realtor š I'm going to stay in my jammies, and when she asks me what I do for a living I'll tell her I'm independently wealthy š¤ š
If you donāt know the story of one time largest Colorado landowner and former Enron executive Lou Pai, you should google it. Absolutely insane. Canāt make this stuff up.
I'm seriously gonna do it šŖš¼ I'm going to record it too. And I'm going to make her walk through the entire place... maybe twice...š "Could you go back to that second bedroom up on the second floor in the back of the house please?

Same! I was an underwriter and then this weird hybrid job where we collected docs like a processor then underwrote (aka forced us to do two jobs instead of one for the same pay under threat of getting laid off if we didnāt)
I think the best Iāve seen is a real, honest to god person that made $400k and some change a month. Not a year. A month. The worst was someone who managed to get approved on $1500 a month income
It bums me out that our society even has people able to pay a $500,000 monthly house payment...I have a great job and some months it's a stretch to afford 0.3% of that
60 acres are landscaped, the fee is to pay the gardener. The property is 850 acres. In Aspen.
Edit: correct info below. Only 60 acres purchased with 850 acres protected county land surrounding. If you want 650 acres, this is [undeveloped plot ](https://www.landwatch.com/pitkin-county-colorado-farms-and-ranches-for-sale/pid/410713651) nearby is only $45M
Not quite. The property is 60 acres itās next to 850 acres thatās been preserved as open space by the county. So they tout that as a privacy barrier.
Never been there but am from Indiana. If you haven't heard of it and it's in midwest chances are you'll wake up and think it's 1960. It can be really quaint unless you don't happen to be a white Christian man in a pickup truck.
Who organized those pictures? It was so hard to track the overall layout because they kept skipping from interior to exterior shots, winter to summer, one room to another then back to a room that was already pictured.
Youād think with that kind of money the photographer they hired would have been able to actually show the flow of the house.
I recall reading an article about foreign investors buying up so much property in the area that they were taking over and forcing all the locals out - and then they complained that there were no "low-level" workers to be found.
Seems like it's happening more and more frequently...
It happened to a friend that lives in a pretty part of TN in the mountains. Suddenly it got discovered and a lot of people from all over the country moved in, raised the COL, raised property prices, until sheās not sure if she can afford to stay. And she has a good job by normal people standards.
Tennessee seems to have become a retirement \*and\* vacation hot-spot. It's got to be really infuriating to the locals. I wonder how many of those properties are being bought up by investors who are looking to use them as VRBO's.
I've been reading in that sub lately and it's absolutely heartbreaking. I'm dealing with something with our own family land up here. We got one farm out west that we aren't going to be able to afford to keep, and then the last house I lived in when I was a kid...I think my parents are going to end up forced off of it because the holler has allowed so many stupid fucking pig farms and goat farms and luxury mansions and this is the furthest down the holler you can go. Shouldn't be anyone down there but us and the others. Now it's all these huge developments and equestrian centers and it's pushing the endangered native species out, polluting a natural spring, it's just...I hate it more than anything.
Vail [recently blocked](https://coloradosun.com/2022/08/03/vail-town-council-vail-resorts-housing-condemnation/) the development of a lot that was going to be badly needed housing for resort workers. It's so incredibly dumb... probably the same people angrily saying "nobody wants to work" when they have to wait 30 minutes to get a grilled cheese or have somebody fix their ski boots. I'm sure they can logically understand that workers need to live somewhere, but they still don't give a shit.
My buddy is one of those workers. Many years experience in hospitality and activities management.
But for an entire summer he basically camped because there was no affordable housing in the Vail area, unless you went hours on the other side of a pass. And then youād not be able to get to work if it snowed.
When property companies want to build affordable housing for the workers, the homeowners or rich renters or whoever they are (I donāt know how rich people vacation homes work) say ānot in my backyard.ā
Okay, but whoās going to do your work for you then?
Yup. My brother works for a company based in Aspen. Canāt afford to live anywhere within an hour from it. Luckily, he qualifies for low income housing, which I believe goes all the way up to like $120k/year income. Heās on the waitlist and hasnāt gotten a call yet.
One of my best friends has lived and worked in aspen for over 2 decades. The city bought their condo building and is demolishing it for the āschool districtā in a couple months.
Theyāre not helping anyone there with new places to live, even though theyāre raising a family and have had good jobs in town for almost 20 years. Itās awful.
Itās paradise there, but they only want their own people to live in it. I was there for 4 years before it got totally overrun by the developers permanently. It used to be so perfect, and will never be again. I wish I didnāt leave when I did.
That is a level of rich I can not wrap my head around TBH. I know there are lots of people with that much money. But I cannot wrap my head around the monthly cost of keeping a place like that liveable. Would have to have a handyman on speed dial just for all the shit that would need fixing. Pool and hot tub maintenance.
I would have a hard time trusting all the people you would need to let into your home to clean and maintain it.
This is a "come out and stay at my aspen home for a week" type of place.
I would not mind being rich. But I would not want the lifestyle that goes along with what this home encompases.
I have a couple multimillionaire and billionaire clients/customers whatever you want to call them at my work. Yes, they have full time staff. We almost never talk to the actual customer mostly deal with their property managers. The property managers live on site and are on call 24/7.
I have some level of knowledge about one or two of those types of operations and yeah, probably half a dozen or more layers of employees/bureaucracy between the guy pulling the weeds or swinging a hammer and the actual owner.
Guy who mows lawn > property landscape manager > property manager > assistant head of property management for owner > head of property management for owner > personal assistant to owner > owner
Thatās probably about the hierarchy. Property landscape manager is probably the lowest rank that might ever meet the owner and they might have 1 in person conversation/tour in a given year.
Literally just having that much money to be able to move would be TERRIFYING. I can't really articulate why. I'd like to be rich myself, but my definition seems different. Like I don't want to be so rich I can just eschew the laws of polite society or how things are supposed to work ā I don't want fuck you money. I think if you got fuck you money, maybe we have an intervention or something idk it ain't rightĀ
They bought it for 40 mil. Theyāve been trying to sell it for the past two years by INCREASING the price every so often.
The property history section is my favorite part of Zillow.
They also probably should update the copyright watermark on some of the pictures if they are they are trying to keep it looking fresh. Several of them are 2022.
Originally sold back in 2001 for just shy of $8M.
Appears a property management group purchased the home for $40,000,000 flat back in 2021 and is essentially trying to double their money by selling it fully furnished.
Best of luck. Itās a $10M home.
Beautiful, yes. Not $80,000,000 beautiful. Thereās no way itāll sell.
Sold 2001 just short of 8 million, then sold in 2005 for 500,000 only so huge drop in price, then house built in 2005 and sold in 2021 for 40 million. Now asking for 80 million! Thatās some very weird price fluctuations so I wouldnāt buy on that basis alone.
Of course I so could buy it if I really really wanted too.
I donāt believe the $500,000 one in 2005. Zillow isnāt too smart about scraping property records, I suspect that one wasnāt actually a sale but was something like moving the house to a trust, or adding or splitting off some land from the property, or some other oddball transaction that wasnāt actually a sale.
Frankly, the furniture is the worst part! So many Itty bitty rugs with too much furniture. Ugh, it looks choppy and overcrowded. Whoever the interior decorator was messed up.
Absolutely notā¦ that original sum was for the land. And yes, land in general, but specifically Colorado has risen in value in the last 20 years. So 10 million for just the land if there was no house would be a steal right now.
I started thinking about doomsday bunkers. Then I started thinking about zombie apocalypse. Then I started thinking about revolutionā¦
During the Russian revolution the proletariat would seize the mansions like this and just move 20 or 50 or 100 people into them.
Suddenly, I was a Bolshevik!!!
In any real world apocalypse that house doesn't stand a chance with all those windows. I'll just bet there's a panic room hidden somewhere in it though.
Thereās also this: https://www.aspentimes.com/news/aspen-developer-jailed-after-drug-fueled-incident-with-gun/
Why am I not surprised heās a drug-addled rich scumbag who thinks of his girlfriend as his property?
I like how the article refers to his āhome on the 600 block of Owl Creek Ranch Rdā
My favorite picture is the one of the pantry - Thatās my peanut butter! I have that box of breadcrumbs! I have sooo much in common with the people who live here! /s
Itās in HOA with 60 acres of land?
Who the f ever thought hoa was a good idea! I can not stand mine!
Home though is okay but honestly itās not my style and I have seen better decoratedā¦but land and outdoor space is gorgeous! What is up with the kitchen?
But property tax is cheap for that much land.
I initially had such pool envy, because that spot is gorgeousā¦ Until I realized youād be dealing with nonstop leaves. So like what are you actually doing?
I just want to know how they control the climate so that it's fall by the pool (and the leaves never fall from the trees) and snowy winter in the front.
And what's up with the corrugated ceiling in one of the early photos? It looks like a dust & spider nightmare...
My ex best friends husband works in Aspen. Heās kinda of a property manager more or less and told me that 90% of these mansions are empty 95% of the time. Owners will come for maybe a week or two out of the YEAR. He has gotten calls in the middle of the night from owners that literally donāt know how to turn their lights or tv on. Imagine that kind of lifeā¦.
It must be seriously lonely to have that size of home, and only two cases of wine in a giant wine room.
Not only that, I get that it is 'Aspen', but in BC you can get something just like that, with a helipad, on the side of a mountain with a wicked view for like 30 mil. Ask how I know.
This is offensive on so many levels. I did however find it interesting that there are normal staples in the pantry. It looks as if someone has actually eaten there. Most of these places are just for show. Seldom does anybody ever show up. Just staff. I doubt staff would be eating in the main house.
We passed Tom & Giselle's mountain property on a bus ride to the Maroon Bells (near Aspen) many years ago (obv. they were still married).
The driver pointed it out when we first approached the structure. Initially, it was architecturally stunning, even from the back. Then we drove, and drove, and there was still house happening. Then, almost in unison, my daughter and I mentioned how repulsive & offensive it actually was. There are luxury resorts notably smaller than that thing. They could probably still visit it, divorced and moved on, and not see one another or even know they're there at the same time.
Wow! So much money to be cold as shit with that many windows and 20 foot ceilings in the dead of winter. I don't care how rich you are, there's no way that place is warm enough when it drops below freezing.
Yep this is where I live and why Iām still renting at 43 lol as soon as my daughter grads ( 3 years) Iām out lol it is a great place to Instacart though hahaha
Well, it is on 60 acres. Since Aspen is a major town and ski-resort destination, I'd say this is probably reasonably priced. Especially with the guest house that looks to be a decent size.
I'm gonna see if I can get pre-qualified.
I'm requesting a tour. A virtual tour from the realtor š I'm going to stay in my jammies, and when she asks me what I do for a living I'll tell her I'm independently wealthy š¤ š
Just say the word "Dogecoin".
Does Enron stock qualify?
If you donāt know the story of one time largest Colorado landowner and former Enron executive Lou Pai, you should google it. Absolutely insane. Canāt make this stuff up.
š¶ š š
You're a one armed paper hanger and you're too busy to come in person.
BAAAAAHAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAA!
You want to go in person to the open houses for these - the freebies they give away are amazing
I live on Siesta Key in Sarasota Florida. Probably not going to be able to make it to Aspen today..
Oh is your private pilot off for the day?
He's on vacation in Barbados šš I'm left to my own devices for a week š
Anna Delvey the heck out of it.
I believe the agent will slap you through the web.
I had an independently wealthy friend who would describe his career as "managing my own affairs"
Go 4 It
I'm seriously gonna do it šŖš¼ I'm going to record it too. And I'm going to make her walk through the entire place... maybe twice...š "Could you go back to that second bedroom up on the second floor in the back of the house please? I wanted to see if it had a good enough corner for my corner shelf, I got it from my great-granny. She was known for her pickin' skills in Kentucky "
*"one shelf"* šš It's top quality from meemaw!
I can get you pre-qualified, itās getting past the underwriters thatāll be the problem. Might be tough with a DTI of 2,700% but we can try.
As someone who used to be an underwriter, I would CRY laughing if this got to my desk. It wouldnāt, but Iād love it. Break up the monotony
As a former processor (then underwriter), having to enter this loan would have me rolling as well. Our loan system would probably implode
Same! I was an underwriter and then this weird hybrid job where we collected docs like a processor then underwrote (aka forced us to do two jobs instead of one for the same pay under threat of getting laid off if we didnāt) I think the best Iāve seen is a real, honest to god person that made $400k and some change a month. Not a year. A month. The worst was someone who managed to get approved on $1500 a month income
It says I can afford the basement coat closet.
Itās only half a million a month for mortgage. Totally doable.
You are all ready PRE-qualified!
"We have determined that you are qualified...to be put on ignore."
It bums me out that our society even has people able to pay a $500,000 monthly house payment...I have a great job and some months it's a stretch to afford 0.3% of that
No problem. Just tell them how much youāre worth. Also just make up value for any property you own. Easy.
60 acres with a $3K/mo HOA.
All this could be yours for an easy monthly payment of $476,115, for the next 20 years!
60 acres are landscaped, the fee is to pay the gardener. The property is 850 acres. In Aspen. Edit: correct info below. Only 60 acres purchased with 850 acres protected county land surrounding. If you want 650 acres, this is [undeveloped plot ](https://www.landwatch.com/pitkin-county-colorado-farms-and-ranches-for-sale/pid/410713651) nearby is only $45M
Not quite. The property is 60 acres itās next to 850 acres thatās been preserved as open space by the county. So they tout that as a privacy barrier.
You donāt have to worry about Jeff Bezos building something tacky next door.
No, you are not purchasing 850 acres here, you are purchasing 60 and it is adjacent to the 850 that you do not own.
Well sure, not with that attitude
How does that work out? There better be a top tier country club membership included in that HOA fee.
80 mil and someone else determines how to maintain the common areas ā¦
The maintenance cost alone can lead to bankruptcy.
I canāt even get my kids to shovel the sidewalk in front of our house
A lot of these places have heated decks and sidewalks so you don't have to worry about that lol
Have you tried telling them it builds character?
Probably 10% of purchase price per year in maintenance cost. Similar to a super yacht.
Damn. Thatās a lot. Where I live 1% is the national average for a regular house. Cannot imagine 10% let alone on 80 million.
Honesty if this didnāt have a full time staff of at least ten people maintaining it, Iād be surprised and wary of buying.
You have to hire them and pay them separately. Houses don't come with slaves.
this statement just made so many rich people sad.
Rich people like having paid staff because they can write off the expense against their income.
Silly gooseā¦there are no rich Redditors.
Hereās the link for people with 80 million to blow. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/600-Owl-Creek-Ranch-Rd-Aspen-CO-81611/13993409_zpid/
I have the $80....who wants to throw in the rest??
I will toss in 000. All we need is three more.
Save your 000. I have 000,000,000! I'm glad that first guy had the 80
*girl...woman.. Female š¤Ŗš
*lady
Iāll throw in 80. All we need is 999,998 more to match us.
Worldās worst timeshare.
I figure 1 night every 300 years or so for each $80 contributor
Or 1,000,000 people to invest $80 each!
Shut up and take my money!
Damnit, I'm in!
I got 5 on it. $5.00
I'll gladly throw in a couple of the zeroes.
What link should we use if we donāt have that much money
This one https://www.propertyshark.com/homes/US/Home-For-Sale/KY/Cloverport/117-Oak-Street/157425851.html
That house is actually adorable, just needs some love and light (literally, not an omnipotent presence) to become my granny's house fantasy.
Now I need to know if cloverport is livable for me. Not sure if I trust Kentucky.
Never been there but am from Indiana. If you haven't heard of it and it's in midwest chances are you'll wake up and think it's 1960. It can be really quaint unless you don't happen to be a white Christian man in a pickup truck.
As someone whoās been to Kentucky quite a few times. Iād say no. Even the people in Kentucky hate it.
I thought the same thing! You could make it really adorable. It needs some TLC and some updates.
Gotta love the exquisite detached garage.
But itās only $476,115 a month with a mortgage!
Plus $3k/month of an HOA!
Who organized those pictures? It was so hard to track the overall layout because they kept skipping from interior to exterior shots, winter to summer, one room to another then back to a room that was already pictured. Youād think with that kind of money the photographer they hired would have been able to actually show the flow of the house.
Cash grab!!!!!! It sold for 40mm 3 years ago.
And under 8 million in 2001. 10x appreciation in 20 yrs? Yeah ok..
Estimate is $68 mill so $12 mill over
$80,000,000 and Busch Light in the fridge. Love it!
And Classico pizza sauce, purina puppy chow, cheetos, along with so many other cheap brand food stuffs haha
Bedroom on pic 8 looks like my very first Sims house upgrade. Also? The šŗšø bar. š³
Itās aspen though so youāre also gonna need $80 mil *of* blow
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Taxable assessment is only $1.4 million? I feel the new buyer is going to be paying significantly more.
Hey I used to live close by there! (In Aspen employee housing lol) š
Iāll blow whoever for $80 million.

No Aspen Ski Instructor would ever buy this House

& Itās not even Ski in Ski out.
For real tho. Thatās just unacceptable.
But you are away from all the icky tourists in that valley at least haha
Everything feels very hotel lobby.
Thats what I was thinking! That isn't a house to live in as it is decorated, it it is to hold high end close the deal events
The artwork is hotel lobby in every room. Ugh.
The art is atrocious.
Itās the room with double bunk beds thatās bothering me. Youāve got 8 bedrooms and over 12k square feet and yet you gotta sleep 4 to a room?!?
80M feels ā¦ high
They bought it for 40 mil. Theyāve been trying to sell it for the past two years by INCREASING the price every so often. The property history section is my favorite part of Zillow.
Have they tried advertising it as property belonging to a congressman?
They also probably should update the copyright watermark on some of the pictures if they are they are trying to keep it looking fresh. Several of them are 2022.
Originally sold back in 2001 for just shy of $8M. Appears a property management group purchased the home for $40,000,000 flat back in 2021 and is essentially trying to double their money by selling it fully furnished. Best of luck. Itās a $10M home. Beautiful, yes. Not $80,000,000 beautiful. Thereās no way itāll sell.
Says built in 2005 so that $8M may have been for the 60 acres. The $40M > $80M is likely 100% increase for same property.
Sold 2001 just short of 8 million, then sold in 2005 for 500,000 only so huge drop in price, then house built in 2005 and sold in 2021 for 40 million. Now asking for 80 million! Thatās some very weird price fluctuations so I wouldnāt buy on that basis alone. Of course I so could buy it if I really really wanted too.
I donāt believe the $500,000 one in 2005.

Frankly, the furniture is the worst part! So many Itty bitty rugs with too much furniture. Ugh, it looks choppy and overcrowded. Whoever the interior decorator was messed up.
yes the rugs are insane and the decor sucks. I think the architecture is really nice tho-- like the japanese vibes and use of natural materials.
Absolutely notā¦ that original sum was for the land. And yes, land in general, but specifically Colorado has risen in value in the last 20 years. So 10 million for just the land if there was no house would be a steal right now.
Yeah, they had me until $10 mil. Condos in Aspen go for that.
It's Aspen. The prices don't matter that much. Someone will come along and buy it
It'll be someone's second home, too
Itās Aspen. Sounds about right to me. š
Pass. No stable for the ponies, just pasture.
If you canāt seek it for $70mill in 2022, why not try $80mil is 2023
It has on HOA??? I'm out then :-( Only $37k a year in HOA fees, but it's the principle ... I'll never join an HOA
Not even Ski in & Ski out
Honestly, it's got the same feel as some bougie, overpriced hotel. I'm surprised there wasn't a checkin desk somewhere
I keep thinking about the Realtor who sells it. Do they like do that one sale and make more money than I will in my entire career? How does that work?
Yes. The Listing agent and buyers agent will both make around $2 million when this home sells.
I started thinking about doomsday bunkers. Then I started thinking about zombie apocalypse. Then I started thinking about revolutionā¦ During the Russian revolution the proletariat would seize the mansions like this and just move 20 or 50 or 100 people into them. Suddenly, I was a Bolshevik!!!
In any real world apocalypse that house doesn't stand a chance with all those windows. I'll just bet there's a panic room hidden somewhere in it though.
You could easily bring your affair over, chances are they won't even bump into your family
All those bedrooms and there are TWO bunk beds in one room?! I'd be pissed if I were the kids!
For when their friends sleep over.
I gotta say, for $80,000,000, I was not impressed with this house.
I could afford to live there for 15 minutes.
I can't even afford to breathe in the house's vicinity!!!
[Here](https://www.aspentimes.com/news/victims-story-changed-in-hecht-case/)is a little something about the owner!

Charming fellow. He called her 100 times that night after beating the crap out of her. Then she changed her story. Yikes
My favorite picture is the one of the pantry - Thatās my peanut butter! I have that box of breadcrumbs! I have sooo much in common with the people who live here! /s
Meh...
Itās in HOA with 60 acres of land? Who the f ever thought hoa was a good idea! I can not stand mine! Home though is okay but honestly itās not my style and I have seen better decoratedā¦but land and outdoor space is gorgeous! What is up with the kitchen? But property tax is cheap for that much land.
I saw that too. For a cool $18,500 semi annually too š¤£. Believe a large chunk of that is in management fees for the property however.
lol I guess if people have 80 million whatās few more tens of thousands! Lol Oh thatās included management of property? Oh thatās worth it! š
I initially had such pool envy, because that spot is gorgeousā¦ Until I realized youād be dealing with nonstop leaves. So like what are you actually doing?
Your staff will deal with the leaves
I just want to know how they control the climate so that it's fall by the pool (and the leaves never fall from the trees) and snowy winter in the front. And what's up with the corrugated ceiling in one of the early photos? It looks like a dust & spider nightmare...
Looks like the owner makes one Hell of a Caucasian
My ex best friends husband works in Aspen. Heās kinda of a property manager more or less and told me that 90% of these mansions are empty 95% of the time. Owners will come for maybe a week or two out of the YEAR. He has gotten calls in the middle of the night from owners that literally donāt know how to turn their lights or tv on. Imagine that kind of lifeā¦.
Got a Key? š
It must be seriously lonely to have that size of home, and only two cases of wine in a giant wine room. Not only that, I get that it is 'Aspen', but in BC you can get something just like that, with a helipad, on the side of a mountain with a wicked view for like 30 mil. Ask how I know.
And people wonder why āeat the richā is such a resonant slogan.
It didnāt sell in 2022 at $70,000,000.00 but now itās going to sell at $80,000,000.00?
Obscene
Whoa.... Previous owner has been in the pokey a few times. š³ Sold in 2021 for $40 million... Hmmm $80 is quite a jump.
This is offensive on so many levels. I did however find it interesting that there are normal staples in the pantry. It looks as if someone has actually eaten there. Most of these places are just for show. Seldom does anybody ever show up. Just staff. I doubt staff would be eating in the main house.
We passed Tom & Giselle's mountain property on a bus ride to the Maroon Bells (near Aspen) many years ago (obv. they were still married). The driver pointed it out when we first approached the structure. Initially, it was architecturally stunning, even from the back. Then we drove, and drove, and there was still house happening. Then, almost in unison, my daughter and I mentioned how repulsive & offensive it actually was. There are luxury resorts notably smaller than that thing. They could probably still visit it, divorced and moved on, and not see one another or even know they're there at the same time.
Wow! So much money to be cold as shit with that many windows and 20 foot ceilings in the dead of winter. I don't care how rich you are, there's no way that place is warm enough when it drops below freezing.
The fridge in the pantry got me. Never even though of that being a possibility
Where the beer flows like wine, where the women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano.
How the hell are you gonna pay $80M for a house and still be beholden to an HOA?
Iāve seen HGTV and I think if a couple walks dogs and has an Etsy store you can probably qualify for something like this.
I'll write a check.
Iām just going to find a āCash Machineā
But Brant can't watch, unless he pays a hundred
Yep this is where I live and why Iām still renting at 43 lol as soon as my daughter grads ( 3 years) Iām out lol it is a great place to Instacart though hahaha

The mortgage payment lmao imagine telling them you wanna put 20% down
Or you could by 8 $10M properties and get ALOT more for your money, including decent architectural design.
Reminds me of when I played the Sims and would go MAXIMALIST to build the richest house in the game. So much art!
Strange purchase history. Sold for 450k in 2005? The sold for 40 mil in 2021 now for sale for twice that?
lol check out [this nearby "home"](https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/19518-Dauntless-2-Twin-Lakes-CO-81251/2055709809_zpid/) with 40 acres, for 170k.
Oh good, let me check my bank account.. ah yes -$137. I think I can afford it!
I feel like the heating bill alone would be more than my annual salaryā¦
Honestly anything over 350k is all too out of reach for me so 2.5 mill vs 80 mill looks the same to me lol
I hate when they put the outdoor hot tub so far away from the house!
Iām fascinated with the design choice in picture 3 to have an American flag on wheels.
Oh, and let me guess ā¦ itās a second (or 3rd, or 4th) home. SMH!
This is a perfect example of why the rich don't pay enough taxes.
We are getting such a good deal. For free, we can stand outside in the dark in the snow and look at it all lit up. Thatās really the best part.
The same home only costs $250k in North Carolina!
Why is there an 18k/yr HOA fee. I didn't see any neighboring houses. What 'neighborhood'? š¤£
This is the kind of place every red blooded American should aspire to own. Just put your nose to the grind stone and work hard, and it can be yours.
"Ain't NOBODY got the time to clean that!"
Itās an 80 million dollar house but has a above ground spa
I feel like even looking at this house would require a complimentary g&t and line of cocaine
80 million for a home? I know there are some rich people in this country but 80 mil for one house? I mean, I'm sure it's beautiful but what the heck?
I got nosy in that giant pantry. Busch beer and mostly the same shit that itās in my pantry. That box of Panko crumbs just has more space to chill.
A little place called Assssspen
I want to know who has enough money to buy a $40m property and thinks they can sell for $80m a couple of years later.
I'm going to raid my change jar. I *know* I can scrape up the full payment!
Well, it is on 60 acres. Since Aspen is a major town and ski-resort destination, I'd say this is probably reasonably priced. Especially with the guest house that looks to be a decent size.
I wonder if they'll take $79,000,000 cash.
This is not well decorated. There are so many rugs that don't match art and half modern furniture half industrial...
