Somehow I found this article on the biggest homes for sale in the Houston area.-=Link=- Look at this one. 16,000 square feet, 8 beds, 8 full baths, three half baths. Includes America’s largest three-story closet. Six car garage, sunken wine grotto. Page through the photos just to find the shower (with picture window and room for parties). (Who are those people in the picture in the bedroom? Did they come with the frame?)
Call it six million dollars.
I could not imagine even spending an evening in this barn.
If I were in the market for a property in that price range, I’d prefer to spend it on land. A 1.6 acre property with listless grass is uninspiring. Give me an orchard or forest or meadows any day.
Pah for your nouveau riche climate control ! Mittens had so much spare money he installed a lift for his cars to keep them warm indoors — and $6 million for a house ?! He was spending twice that on just his expansion of which that was part. He’d already paid $12 million to demolish the house. ( It only had one story, and you need two to install a car elevator. )
I like to think he spent 2013 riding up and down non-stop in his best jalopy staring at his dead ambition.
I was just pointing out that the development is literally right in the middle of the East Texas pine forest, unlike a lot of other master-planned communities with evocative names that have only the vaguest association with their namesake geographic feature. Case in point- the various “whatever-Hills” or “Lakes of somewhere” or whatever that are on flat ground, or have a couple of man-made ponds in the development, etc…
