  • Way off in the distance of a neighborhood of multimillion dollar mansions, there's a property that is now vacated from all memories it once had. This mansion was constructed by a man who had money , too much he could handle. He created this home and didn't anticipate the electric bill or funds needed to keep up with all the home's needs, and later realized he dug himself into a hole. Not wanting to keep the home he built, he put it on the market where no one was silly enough to purchase it. Later it was used in reality TV shows on such networks like, MTV and HBO. But once those contracts came and went, mold and other decay started to happen and the house was taken off the market. Which leads us to today, exploring what is left in this once grand mansion suited for a king and queen. If you enjoy leave a thumbs up and subscribe for more exploring content.

    Reminds me of all those lottery winners who buy a huge house, atv's, cars, toys, etc and at the end of it all can't pay the bills to keep the lights on or put gas in the fuel tank. Another classic case of living outside your means. Great video!

    the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. czcams.com/users/postUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.

    It feels oddly eerie going through the house -- frozen in time and frozen wishes/dreams along with it. The amenities inside this house is atypical of how the new millionaire builds their "ideal" house. It takes a good bit of financial acumen to manage and maintain a property this size and, if the original owner who built this did intend it for his children, most kids when they become adults would rather live with their OWN immediate family than have all the siblings & in-laws under one roof in compound. This house definitely confirms/affirms my feelings or thoughts of living in a mega mansion. Thanks for sharing.

      Mark my words.
      The first company that successfully mines outer space, will rule this world.
      America had all this wealth and just got lazy. The reason we have a genius visa, is that the government gave up on it's people, and didn't educate properly. America is a throw away society, in that they trash their people, and throw them away. I have seen this. The owner of the company, I used to work for, had their kids start at the bottom, so they became better people in the end. That is rare, and I don't see that often, but what I do see, is people that didn't earn their position, and blow daddy's fortune, being jerks in the process, with nothing to build of from.
      History is never learned properly by people on the top. That's why history repeats itself. Look up Einstein's definition of insanity.

I think she was a real estate agent, but she was also fixing it up. I think she was a house flipper. When I picked her up there, it was a mess. Weeds were all over the driveway/garage etc. It needed a lot of work and the crew probably worked around the clock to make it sale worthy. I didn't really get a good look inside because there were security cameras. There is a security guard house at the beginning of the driveway. It's in such a weird spot.

    That floor warping isn't from water damage. That entire row popping up is caused by pressure on the floor from expansion and contraction. If you don't leave enough space in between the floor and wall as the floor boards expand they will hit the wall and force the weakest row to pop.

    flat screens were available in 2004-2005. SO I am going to guess they this was before then. The house has a feel of early 2000's in the decor.

      That Samsung TV at the pool on the wall had the old logo font on it and a quick search tells me that the current font came in from 1993 onwards, so this place could be early to mid 90's potentially.

      @sommore80 That’s good to hear!! I honestly meant it more like “oh wow it’s like Rev’s house” I didn’t mean to sound like I was suspecting it was. :) if that makes sense. I just meant this style was popular back in these days!

    I always wonder why people with wealth that build these huge homes don’t put comfortable chairs in their home theaters rather than the standard uncomfortable movie theater chairs.. I’d rather chaise lounges, big lazy boys... etc..

      👋🏻
      The original owners sold it when their kids got older.
      Then another family bought it and got tied up in a legal dispute about what to do with it for a bit making people assume it was "abandoned" thus this kid and his friend trespassing.
      They added security while they figured their ish out.
      It's been restored since, their issues have been worked out, and it looks like it's about to enter the real estate world again after a few years.
