Exploring a $12,000,000 ABANDONED Mega Mansion | HUGE Indoor Pool

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ย. 2022
  • This mega mansion was constructed in 1976 with 6 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms with a massive indoor pool. This place seems to have been abandoned around 2010. It’s is said that the family last to live here were from China who had successful businesses around the area. But somehow they lost it all and had to sell the house. It was then bought by a developer who possibly has plans to demolish the house or remodel. Today it’s sits abandoned with many things left behind! Hopefully this beautiful home can be saved an enjoyed again. There’s really much else we could find out about the family but nonetheless we are ready to show you what’s left!

      No one is tearing that place down. Use your head folks. It is obviously stuck in probate or some other court proceeding which is taking a long time especially if it involves a foreign country.

    Amazing house!!! I always try to picture in my mind what these abandoned places were like when they were lived in. The birthday parties, holidays, family gatherings, children runnung around playing and jumping in the pool, etc... all the memories that were made in this house are etched into their minds forever. I'm shocked people haven't stolen the TV, record player, equalizer and the other electronic stuff left behind. I'm also surprised young kids haven't ripped the iPad out of the wall. Maybe they tried but couldn't get it out... thank you sm for the tour! ❤

    You can always look up the records through any real estate or city records. But as soon as I saw the design in the floor I knew I had an idea of who that house may have belonged to. Those leaves in the floor are quite significant and most UN ambassadors or representatives have them in their homes. The garden by the kitchen was for fresh herbs for cooking. Many rich Aisian homes have them or used too. The rooms off the side of the kitchen were for the servants or chef quarters

(Where one might well be able to either resell the acreage for a 25- 50,000 sq. ft, mega- mansion? Or perhaps even subdivide that property, into 2- 4 lots?!) Even IF they "part it out" for a similar design construct... or "relocate it, St. Elsewhere..." it's a crying SHAME!

    This house is absolutely stunning. It was built the year I was born (76). I didn't think 70's houses could be that extravagant. Most of the abandoned houses i've seen explorers go into from the 70's era definitely don't look like this one. It had so much sunlight and so many unique features that it made it such an awesome explore. I've always wondered why teenagers feel the need to destroy properties and bust out windows. I mean, does it make them feel good or what? I will never understand. Thank you for the tour of this great house. I love it!

    Very cool house! The stairs from the kitchen to the second floor was most likely the maids living quarters. Gives the maid direct access to the kitchen. That's why the bathroom wasn't as fancy. The panel with the switches on the wall probably told the maid which area she was being called to. Fun fact, those weren't broken records on the floor. Those were "Laser Discs" . Before there were DVD's or Blue-Ray you had Laser Discs for high quality video. Great video guys!!

The architectural vocabulary of this mansion was amazing . The previous owners spent a pretty penny having that house designed and built to modern for the day arch specs . Once again an amazing find and a crying shame if it is scheduled to be torn down. I would live there and rehab the place in a heart beat . Glad that you were able to document it before it's gone .

    There is so much potential in this mansion that it would be a shame to demolish. I am still amazed at how the interior changes from an almost mountain modern to gold swans and stained glass doors that do not compliment anything in the rest of the house. The kitchen is little more that a very large residential space. It needs to be a full blown commercial set up with double ovens, ranges and separate refrigerator and freezer. That door leading out of the kitchen looks like it came from Lowe's or Home Depot. Everything that doesn't compliment the modern theme needs to be removed, rethought, redesigned, and replaced. This could indeed be a residential master piece.

    WOW WOW WOW!!! This is such a unique home and built with such amazing quality - the woodwork, the stonework, the marble, the granite, the pool, the sauna, the light fixtures, the bathrooms, the plumbing fixtures, the closets, the mirrors, the leaded and stained glass, the windows and doors, the courtyard and garden spaces - incredible!! No expense was spared!!
    In that massive master suite, the plumbing fixtures were probably gold plated copper or brass, because one can see the verdigris tarnish/stain on some of them.
    That smaller space where it was cold, looked like a bathrooms/bedrooms/kitchenette area...I'm guessing that was servant's quarters.
    I wish there was existing blueprints of the floorplan somewhere. That would be pretty amazing.
    This home SHOULD NOT BE DESTROYED! SO MUCH that remains is very salvageable.
    If this home is destroyed, that would be just shameful!! Hopefully it'll be remodeled, but in the same opulence.
    A lot of the old fixtures could be sold/auctioned off to people interested in giving them new life. ALL of the bathtubs in this home are probably porcelain over cast iron. Very durable!! And new jet systems can be put in the jetted tubs and upcycled.
    If I had money, disposable income type of money, I'd LOVE to buy this and lovingly restore it, instead of stripping the original character from it!!
    Fingers crossed it doesn't get destroyed!!

    The house looks to have a well thought out passive solar design. It would be interesting to know who the architect was, which may have an effect on value, and its unique design may add more value if restored and updated, rather than demolishing it, so as to put a few more houses in an area that does not appear to have a land shortage.

    The layout of this house isn't bad for being built in the 70's, the pool room would definitely need to be updated, opened up because those extra rooms are a waste. Those rooms can be turned into a game room with pool table, possibly open up and extend the overhang where the patio was and add a small bar looking over the pool. Either way, I hope they don't demolish this house, the wood work, cedar all over the place is just amazing. Stone work looks exceptional too.

    "Cleaning system for the pool" is a central vacuum. Just plug the hose into a wall outlet and that thing automatically turns on.

    Real shame that someone didn't see the potential here. Just really unique indeed.
    We have a place in Australia that looks a bit like this and it did take quite a bit to renovate it but it sure was worth it.
    It however is not as big of course. 6 bedrooms with the possibility of 7 and 3 1/2 baths. The grounds are muck smaller in comparison.
    The biggest problem we have with that place is the driveway. It has such a deep incline to even get up to the garage.
    I wish I could show our pictures of before and after.
    But this place you are showing here is really spectacular and I wish we could get our hands on it. Unfortunately we just took on another property in Alaska where I spend so much time. We had always wanted a cabin and now have one.
    I am still shocked this place will be demolished if not already.
    Makes me a bit ill just thinking about it. It is what should be an award winning design.
