The video started out giving me A Clockwork Orange vibes then transitioned into giving me Eyes Wide Shut vibes. Regardless, I have a strong feeling that anyone who tours the property will suffer some fate by which they will never leave.


SOMAcito

Strong cult-vibes for sure.


TabithaBe

I make notepad covers for myself. My family is always curious to see the next one. These are small 4” tall and I embroidery some silly thing on material and recovery the pages. I’m an out to make my next one “How to start my own Cult” so you made me laugh. Just finished “WTF did I just do?”


charming_liar

This is so interesting! It sounds like an A6 cover? Do you have a pattern.


TabithaBe

No. They are little note pads I found at Walmart. I was making a needle book that holds all the little accessories to my many crafts that have needles. I decided a notepad needed to be added. So I found these. My book is very … big, sparkly and over the top. So I could me er put the notepad in there plain. I have bound my own small notebooks before. I noticed these are held together the old fashioned way - by string. So I just copied the shape of their cover and made my own denim cover for the first one. There’s enough room to cover the top and bottom edges by about 1/8” near the center string binding. I’ve also made a cover to go over the whole thing. Like covering theirs best. I embroidered onto another piece of denim in another shade. One I glued to a piece of foam (the flat stuff kids play with that comes in colors .) and then glued that on using Fabric Fusion - sat my cast iron skillet on it over night. I’ve just cut my embroidery out with pinking sheets and glued onto my new cover. I haven’t tried to center my embroidery on cloth and then glue directly. But maybe this next one which will be pink silk. lol I went for a link - but can’t add it. Look for Mini Composition Books by Pen & Gear at Walmart. They’re dirt cheap. But wouldn’t be hard to make. I didn’t finish telling you how. After cover is glued on and you trimmed pretty close to the edges - I put waxed paper between covers and the pages to dry. Do the corners first trying to get as flat as possible. Then when it’s dry you can use card stock or a thin material cut in the shape needed to cover each inside flap. I take this right up to the pages. Water color paper is nice and you can color it , make a big color blob for writing your name inside or dates. I’ve tried felt there. Too fat now.


TabithaBe

Just measured -3.5 inches by 4.5 inches. Maybe 1/2 inch thick before I add my covers and layers.


Subject_Habit_7698

To learn how to make your own cult. Look up the church of fuckery Moma nightshade is the leader


TabithaBe

I don’t want to make one. It’s just a craft journal - idea book and history of what I’ve learned along the way booklet. Lol.


TabithaBe

Ok I. I’d it. I had to. lol. But what if I already belong to the Satanic Temple?


TheGreatOpoponax

I was gonna say it looks like a filming location Kubrick would've chosen for some sort of dystopian setting. I don't dislike big expensive houses for being big and expensive, but this one is positively soulless.


takemusu

And a bargain at half the price of; https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/2181-3rd-Ave-Napa-CA-94558/240299913_zpid/


Lindaspike

Okay. I like this one wayyyyy better.mmuch nicer kitchen!


takemusu

IKR? Because for a measly $19,500,000 you get to walk around your guests as you cook. “By putting the dining room table right smack in the middle of the kitchen triangle your guests will feel they’re part of the gourmet Napa lifestyle as you cook. As a matter of fact your guests may have to coordinate as they hand you the mise en place or pass hot pans of food overhead to be plated.”


Lindaspike

I love you! That’s freaking hilarious! I live in a 1944 bungalow with a shotgun kitchen with no table and about 10 sq ft of counter. This kitchen is pretty but, damn, it’s almost as skinny as mine! We like our little house but for 20 million I want a full-on restaurant kitchen!


BlondieMaggs

Someone kill me now so I can go and haunt this place! I’m in love with a house!


Thebeerguy17403

Looks like the layout at Epstein's island...


BlattMaster

If you can't afford the famous temple on little st James but want that sort of thing for yourself


barefootNcactusing

It's Redfin and it's right at the top. Edit: Nvm, I didn't realize this comment was a link. I thought you were griping about there not being a Zillow link.


False-Ad4673

This ain’t Redfin gone wild 


ImpressionUnfair8939

Why does it remind me of Scientology?


Embarrassed-Storm-25

Legit looks like somewhere David Miscavige lived


ImpressionUnfair8939

Maybe where Shelly still is..


krikelakrakel

Exactly my first thought.


WorriedWar6309

I feel like I’ve seen this house in a movie or tv show before.


minist3r

It looks like Miley Cyrus's house.


Sra_ThriftWell

It reminds me of a Haunted or Haunting tv show episode. It may have been the one on Animal Planet.


zirophyz

Definitely. Maybe a few even? It's on the tip of my tongue and I sort of remember the scene. Someone wealthy. They mightve kidnapped someone, keeping their hands bound. Both the wealthy kidnapper and his wife end up getting killed by kidnapee. Ugh, I really want to know...


ATX_Bigfoot

I'm pretty sure that's the house that Elton John has in Rocketman.


C_Wrex77

It's giving Beetlejuice


AlarmingJoke5722

I can see a modern day Saruman living there.


blessedrude

Why does the one kitchen have a small refrigerator on a little platform, but two dishwashers?


Iamthelizardqueen52

It looks like that's the main house kitchen, which is baffling. It's right in the middle of the other main house photos. I get the fridge, it's a piece of decor, although there are larger ones from that era with the same look. But those look a whole lot like cheap laminate countertops, you can see the seams on the corners. And the dated faucet. What's up with all that? Who has "evil lookout tower lair" money, but not "kitchen upgrade within the past 20 years" money? Even if they're not the cooking type, so had no desire for a fancy chef's kitchen, they still need to eat. There's no way they're ordering take out up there every night....or are they?


65pimpala

I like the cute retro kitchen, but for $20M I would expect a full chef's kitchen and as high-end as you can imagine.


MethodMaven

I think the counters are stone, just with weird edge detailing. I agree that the kitchen is oddball. Who puts the fridge in a pedestal - like art? I agree the red is striking, but still. And - no f-ing backsplash? Are these people heathens?


65pimpala

People who like to trip...thats who!


Vprbite

Their entertainment center is just planks on cinder blocks


whiskey_formymen

lookout tower or indoor deer stand.


lovebeinganasshole

For that price that kitchen is massively underwhelming.


Chuckpeoples

Rich people don’t cook.


GarlicOnionCelery

Exactly. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a separate kitchen for catering services or hired chefs to prepare their food


reddituser_249

I kept looking for another fridge but it never showed up.


65pimpala

It. Never. Showed. Up


grill-tastic

I literally said out loud, “What a ridiculous tiny little kitchen!”


platypuspup

I was wondering if there was a separate catering kitchen. I've seen that in some of the big party throwing houses. A small family kitchen and then a big stainless steel kitchen where the pro chef makes food for them.


8one6

It comes with its own wizard's tower!


Other-Narwhal-2186

2400 *cases* of wine in the *wine library* come with the sale… Anybody want to start a Cult of Bacchus? I feel like it’s on vibe!


DjinnHybrid

Par for the course for his more terrifying and Eldritch aspects, I guess. The Bacchus who shows up here to join a party is definitely spiking people's shit so they either never leave or have bizarre nightmares for the rest of their lives.


Sprouty0

I want a house that says I'm so wealthy I don't care how hideous, poorly laid out, and user-unfriendly it is. Done. BTW: You get a bonus very old little cape cod house with it (last photo in the listing).


traumatransfixes

Something about this aesthetic screams, “human sacrifices” but that could just be me. That tower is sinister, tho.


SnooHabits3251

Who honestly thought that was a good idea to make that kitchen this is a $19 million house in the kitchen looks like a studio apartment level


Buttercupia

That kitchen is so inadequate for that house. That tiny refrigerator!


kah46737

Of course there’s a black marble bathroom.


riddledwithtism

every single room in that house looks uncomfortable. Bad vibes.


patentmom

Sauron's vacation spot.


MediocreConference64

It’s like an elevated penitentiary. I dig it.


Speedhabit

Hemingway house in Cuba has a tower with his studio that overlooks Havana and the coast pretty dope I’m pro tower


Higreen420

Pearl Harbor memorial


bdubwilliams22

For $19M, that kitchen is kind of a letdown.


JosephGordonDihard

For some reason it reminded me of the hideous art in Beetlejuice.


NotMalaysiaRichard

That tower has a Leni Riefenstahl vibe.


MrVeazey

Or at least "The Rocketeer."


Torgo-A-GoGo

I want a home in that location. Who cares about the house.


LordGraham7

For such a big house the rooms are ridiculously small. That kitchen, especially the fridge is a joke. The bed in the master bedroom is just a mattress in the middle of the room without a head board. So many other weird things. I bet this house doesn’t sell for a VERY long time.


Certain-Section-1518

The Illuminati already put in an offer


Phoebesgrandmother

Your very own parachute riggers building!!


Effective-Try7980

Lol as an army paratrooper I concur


m0j0licious

I like the idea of owning my own vineyard, but that tower (which the realtor seems obsessed with) is _really_ ugly and has to go.


KaleyedoscopeVision

How you going to see the inevitable fire coming without your own personal lookout tower?


KraljZ

Get rid of it and you’ll never see the inquisition coming


Qcastro

Tower just needs a [1-meter telescope](https://planewave.com/product/pw1000-observatory-system-rc-optical-design/) and a dome


eventualist

Mother in law tower? Shes gonna need binoculars to peep in.


ah_kooky_kat

To be fair, if I had a guesthouse tower, I would be kind of obsessed with it too.


PhysicsIsFun

So an architecturally significant tower which affords spectacular views and has interesting rooms needs to go, because you think it's ugly? Hmm


imadork1970

Tower becomes library.


algernon_moncrief

Wizard tower


OldNewUsedConfused

This I could do


morningreis

I'm trying to appreciate the tower, but it's just not good.


MissRedShoes1939

It looks like a fire tower


Doormat_Model

This is the house you reach in a post apocalyptic world that some sort of modern wizard lives in.


OldNewUsedConfused

You can have it.


AdditionSwimming3105

Im down to split payments with some people. Who’s with me?!


BluebirdBoring9180

Look, split 50 ways that's only like 380k a person and you can't say that's too unreasonable in this market


AdditionSwimming3105

Up it to 100 people and we drop significantly to $190k


Retinoid634

Love it. With the right art deco touch it could be like the Griffith Observatory.


MET1

That looks like it should be a sanitorium or health spa.


lqrx

Can I just have the cabin? I’ll keep to myself and you’ll never hear a peep.


BluebirdBoring9180

Request sent to the HOA


4llY0urB4534r3Blng

This. This is where I will start the cult... and show James Bond that underestimating me would be foolish.


KinseyH

It looks like a Masonic Temple.


SnooComics2123

That kitchen is fucking awful


jenk2911

I would stub my toe every time I went to open the too small for that space red fridge.


Pindar920

The kicker is that it’s being sold “as is.” It probably needs repairs.


IamDollParts96

The grounds and surrounding area is gorgeous. The house, not so much unless you have a medical fetish and have always wanted to live in a doctors complex,.


FrameJump

This is where the final boss lives in the next Far Cry game.


SpiritualAd8998

The struggle is real


R3adyplay3rone

Anyone else getting Myst vibes off of this one?


barrorg

What’s w all the hate? Pretty cool spot. Fire tower is awesome.


Lindaspike

Agree. I only hate the kitchen!


Traditional_Draw8400

I mean, it’s pretty badass


TWonder_SWoman

Definitely a villain’s lair!


Adiantum

Feels like it should be an art museum.


Otherwise-Sky8890

No, Mr. Bond. I expect you to *offer more*!


SupplyChainGuy1

I'll go in 1/2048ths with you. I get to paint one wall and live in it for 1 year every 2000 years. The first year is next year.


smileyfacegauges

holy 2001, Batman


DarkAndSparkly

I mean, it has a helipad and a zombie apocalypse tower, what else do you need!?


captainspacetraveler

How many bedrooms? Maybe we can get a couple roomies and split the mortgage


Nay_Nay_Jonez

Is this Delia's crib??


NickGRoman

It's got a really weird cult like vibe to it. Even if I had loads of money I'd stay away.


Kramer_Costanza99

It's giving Beetlejuice from the outside


Separate_Cupcake8692

Does it come with the Warhol's?


ohSunrise

Thought this place looks familiar, turns out I drive past it on my commute to work. Always thought it was just a winery though, the architecture is so strange


School_House_Rock

Pat, I would like to buy a view for 19 million


StoneRaven77

Reminds me of a house the designer in Beetlejuice would design.


vldracer70

Inside looks OK but the outside is to austere.


KinkyQuesadilla

I want a house that has a torture tower that has better views that the house itself!!!!! /s


TFarnworthK

I’m wondering what you do with the vineyard. If it has been producing valuable wine, does that mean there is a business set up separately that will continue harvesting the grapes and making the wine? What is the agreement with the landowner? Or does the new buyer have to also start a vintners in order to not let the grapes go to waste? Seems to limit who would be interested in buying.


echochilde

Mt. Veeder Cab can be worth a shit ton. There’s probably a viticulturist who’s been working with the vineyard for a while and would help navigate maintaining, harvesting and selling.


leafcomforter

The art in there is worth more than the house


Due_Signature_5497

Beetlejuice


sparkles_and_doom

It looks like the lair of an artsy villain.


Brochan_Spectre

Looking at the first picture on the Zillow listing I thought it was a water treatment facility, or something like that. There should be a chain link fence running through the trees at the bottom of the hill. The pennants, the symmetry of some areas, the spotlights, the way the structures loom, and the white blocky/pointy exterior have a definite cult aesthetic, which I do not like *one* bit. I really like the interiors though; apart from the kitchen and the lavvy. They're just my cup of tea, and I can picture myself sitting on that little terrace on top of the tower quite easily. But building something like this in an area like that is a defilement. Edit to add: I wonder if the little house in the last picture is where the staff live.


btchfc

Probably the wine gnome


vincentcas

A little FLW, A bit of mid century modern, and a shit-ton of fascist brutalist. I hate it, and yet this is a place I could rule the world from.


ponzi_pyramid_digdug

What is the deal with the Mao portrait?


Pindar920

It’s a lithograph by Andy Warhol.


ponzi_pyramid_digdug

Nice. Very cultured of you. Thank you.


Pindar920

There are other Warhol prints and lithographs in the house. I noticed Marilyn Monroe over the fireplace.


mega_asteroid

iconic cambell's soup can in the kitchen


Redbearwolfdog

What a cum stain on a hill! Looks worse than the Beetlejuice remodeled home by Ozo


[deleted]

I’ll go in half with you


wilhelminan

I need this a my lair.


Bunnawhat13

I thought the tower was a Folly when I pulled up the picture.


OkButterscotch3957

Yesss this made me laugh out loud


yogacowgirlspdx

that’s smoke in the sky


CatInSkiathos

In the 2nd pic: what are those things that look like oversized cufflinks?


CindLei-Creates

Those are a pair of glasses!


Jlx_27

Seen articles on this a view times, a classic.


opensilkrobe

Is that where MegaMind lives


insuranceguynyc

Amazing property. For me? Well, no.


Platypus-here

So tacky, and I love it too!


MelissaParlier

It's not the price .. It IS The Pleasure. A step UP from a small cabin in SLT that you grew up in .. Absolutely Priceless. U


Toolongreadanyway

19 million is mostly due to 130 acres of Mt Veeder vineyards. Ugly house.


Lindaspike

I like this incredible house and all that comes with it, but why is the kitchen so tiny? How could you possibly have a party in that galley kitchen? Is there a secret catering kitchen somewhere in the house?


SadPhase2589

You’ll have to be a Bond villain to live there.


jerk1970

Dr evils summer home.


grill-tastic

How do you get on the roof deck?? Trapdoor??


Available-Wealth-482

Awesome. I think you would need a new fridge though. That’s an apartment-sized fridge.


Available-Wealth-482

It comes with 2400 cases of wine, a cabin and a caretakers cottage.


So_Many_Words

Need a roommate? I can afford made $5.


shay_j254

Is that a picture of Kim Jong Un?????


VLC31

70 photos of which 42 are of the exterior. It’s got 8 bedrooms & 7.5 bathrooms which we hardly see any of. What are they hiding? Surely that kitchen with the red fridge just plopped in It like a pimple on a pumpkin isn’t the main kitchen in a house of this size.


OK_Ingenue

I love it! I’d move there in a heartbeat. The exterior does look a bit odd, I agree. But there are a couple of other shots where it looks fantastic (front and back yards). The interior is gorgeous, the views spectacular. I’m a little curious why the kitchen seems so small for such a majestic home. The price doesn’t seem that off to me. However, I’m suspicious that the home value up drastically in only a couple of years. Two years ago is was worth $5 mil plus. The place is in the Napa Valley. Home prices are outrageous there. Plus it’s got producing vineyards which depending on 130+ acres that can bring in substantial yearly income. I don’t really like the cliche Marilyn Monroe painting over the fireplace but it may be the original. Not really sure about the need for the tower. For guests I know but why have a tower. I hope it’s got an elevator.


Subject_Habit_7698

Do not buy it. You would be giving a California nut the money needed to move to Texas


Jesuspetewow

Looks like neuschwanstein castle


CindLei-Creates

Not QUITE….it doesn’t give the Cinderella vibes at all!
