100,000 SQ FT home being built

Who can look at this and say that rich people don't create jobs?

 

Who's the owner? That sketch certainly doesn't look like 100,000sqft to me. A LOT of it must be below ground.

 

Awesome. Where is it being built? I would do the same if I could..

 

nothing exceeds like excess...

 

Biltmore is 135k sqft, this seems to have a bigger footprint.

So what Fortune 500 company will be moving here for corporate headquarters/royal family/self indulgent ****...

Nice villa a little too mainstream these days?

Plenty of jobs.

Our neighbor David Duffield is building a 70,000+ sq ft house with a 26,000 sq ft garage building in our neighborhood.

The trucks and crews coming and going is what has most of the people po'd.


Thats bigger than the White House BTW.

 

The reason for such excess seems obvious. You might as well spend it here, because you aren't going to take it with you.

 

That is amazing. First residential IMAX?! Underground caves. I would love to walk around the house. I might get lucky if I even get to see it when it's completed.

I do like the Iron Man house, especially the garage.

I wonder who this is, and if I've ever seen him before.

 

What's the point of going LEED on something like this? It reminds me of an obese buddy in high school. He orders two pizzas, just for him, then demands we stop and get diet coke instead of regular because he's "watching the calories."

 

Interesting that they picked Silverleaf. I guess it better than Mumbai.

 

We have a guy in Austin that's been building a "castle" for about 7 or 8 years. It has a massive footprint that looks like it could be near 100,000sqft. At one point I thought it was going to be smaller but I think someone was telling me about a different "castle" off of the same road. I really have no idea how big it is but it's sprawling. It looks more like a village sitting on the hilltop. Important people can petition to have their tax records removed from the county internet search, so I can't find anything on it.

 

When will completion/ groundbreaking be?

 

What would property taxes be on something like this?

Caves and underground passages? Ziplines? I like this guy's style!!

 

It's pretty amazing to say the least.

Any info on the fella?

movie inspired is interesting, it would be more interesting to see exact duplicates of famous rooms

Tony Stark workshop with car bay, SPECTRE room with bridge over shark infested pool = kool!!

 

Those would be cool and all, but nothing close to your very own JUNGLE ROOM!!

He lost a few friends in Incline Village a few years ago too.....bought 5 lakefront properties on Lakeshore, plus 2 across the street, blew them all down (saved one and used it as a shop space for the contractor), and built 1 very big house and dock + a cottage for his parents....

 

Interesting. I wonder what was wrong with just buying some land?

Incline Village is a small lakefront town at Tahoe. There are probably limited lakefront lots - the slope to the lake is fairly steep then you have all the parks and tourist stuff.

 

Buying land is easy, lake front is a different story. Same deal here. Guy up the street is building a massive house and buying up each neighbor as it expands. The neighbors are all upset because he has been working on it for a few years now. I think it looks great and kudo's to him.

 

What would you estimate this house at? Its two stories.

The furthest left two wings were just added in the last two years.
