- Today we are going inside an abandoned $30,000,000 mansion that has sat vacant since 2005 when the owner that built the property decided that him and his family didn't need to live in a castle. The mansion features a cinema, an indoor pool, a gym, and many more features.

I'm a retired antique and art dealer in Beverly Hills and used to conduct estate sales at properties like these. I often found these homes were impractical to live in and the homeowners would live in just one wing of the house and seldom venture into the other parts. They also needed a full time staff to maintain properly and their utility and maintenance bills were astronomical. Moral to the story: more isn't always better.
Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.
A waste of everything.
I'm a cleaning guy and have cleaned many huge mansions for billionaires. This place would be terrible to clean.

@@Deeam521 Well as a friend of mine used to say "$ money may not buy love or happiness but it sure as hell puts you in a better bargaining position".
Speaking from personal experience thats certainly true. But the real problem is that many people don't understand the difference between pleasure which is only temporary thrill triggered by acquiring something and happiness which is a sense that you have everything you need and long term contentment based on the knowledge you don't need anything more.
When it comes to good taste Oscar Wilde said it best. You don't want to be someone who knows the price of everything but value of nothing!
This house is AMAZING. It is full of "dream house" features- without being tacky or cliché. No, the designer has extremely refined taste & a brilliant talent to bring SO much together without straying from its classic charm. The details that went into its planning are evident, making it just stunning.
These mansions could EASILY be turned into a mini hotel for getaways. A fancy bed and breakfast. The kitchen could easily sit several tables and chairs or even some booths. With a nice candle lit for dinner. The pool is bigger than some hotels. A nightly movie showing for guests. The bar room with a pool table and some games. 4 laundry rooms and the super large closet to store clean linens. A library,workout area by the pool. This is what people look for when booking hotels for vacation. Instead we tear down acres and acres of land, leaving wildlife homeless .if only we could invest back into an investment..it could be so amazing. Especially stuff like this, the detail of the work. Not something you see everyday. Too bad they are built where not much is around but some people like simple, quiet getaways . We stayed at a hotel yearssss ago that was like a home transformed into a hotel for a wedding and it was seriously the most unique and fun place i have ever stayed.
Hello Jamie how's the weather over there
I owned and ran a large bed and breakfast, with a large house, the basic cleaning, maintenance issues and costs of service make it very difficult to run for 12 months of the year. One bad season of trading can make day to day operations difficult… I sold it at the right time, bigger houses are harder to sell so buyers beware, owning big house isn’t what it’s cracked out to be
That mansion is absolutely stunning. The room with the green lights was a billiard room. And the movie theater entrance is amazing!
Yep,I recognized the green lights as a place for a pool table. That is a perfect place to have one and play.
I would take a swim in that indoor pool every morning and watch movies in the cinema daily.
Nice house,but way too big for me.
No sound. What a house. Stunning. It's beautiful. I haven't seen a closet that goes around like that either. Place is insane. I hope someone does something about it. Too beautiful to be demolished. Excellent work 👏. Really enjoyed the video.
Someone purchased it already at 4mil. Will require a lot of work tho not to mention the maintenance
@@worx101......
If you get enough people living together and pitching in you could do it prob.
Hello Daire how's the weather over there
I recall growing up that the house across the street was a two story large Victorian…large to a small kid that is. My little friend lived there and they kept most of the House blocked off because they couldn’t afford the heating and cooling costs...and the old house was not insulated. We rarely got to see those blocked-off rooms, but there were about three months total out of the year that the pocket doors were opened and we got to see the antique furniture and decorations. I can’t imagine how much it costs to keep this place up.
That's so sad! 😭
Your friend lived in this house?
@@sergeyc.schlageter7114 no, they said that their friend lived in a similar sized house.
This is problem with mansions. My Brother had a mansion, but it was built by our Father who was a master craftsman, taking many men and over 3 years to built. It cost over $7500.00 in utilities. My Brother just passed away. It sits on 62 acres with tennis courts, pools, twelve car garage, basketball court and a home for the caretaker on it. It is 12,000 square feet. No one else could afford the house, although his kids could,being left millions of dollars but they don’t want to live in the area. It is in the country. I know they will have trouble selling it.
I actually LOVE the Mediterranean style of this house. The bedrooms are all gigantic!! And the pool room was beautiful. But I too fell absolutely head over heels for that library with the little lofted area and huge fireplace. I hope someone buys this house and just restores it to its former beauty. Don't fully renovate it, and definitely don't demolish it!!! Loved this one Banks
Without a huge family kids and animals running around, these massive homes are pointless and creepy empty
I agree what a waste
Yes, this house is not a home, seems cold and dark. What a waste of money
Homes of this size and grandeur are a thing of the past. As you will discover, basic sized to giga mansions, in the lower contiguous 48 states, are a hard sell. Unless the mansions are in Bel Air, Southamptons, Aspen and Palm Beach. This is where the 1% can mingle with their equals frequently without fear of judgement and retribution. Gated and insulated from the real world, it's perfect for first entertaining, second for large families. Often times they lose millions on their purchase.
@@maxmoovin Americans have been downsizing for years these homes are the victims so Beautiful 😻
I have to disagree, this home is beautiful! Some don’t live for kids. They live for extended family and friends but also enjoy their solitude and when u live alone a small home can feel like it’s closing in on u. I would love to own a home like this, hosting friends n family or even renting rooms like Airbnb just meeting new people. Part of me wonders if the idea of tiny is really pushed by the elite to condition us to live minimal once agenda 31 is achieved. Don’t always fall for what u see as a simple concept. Just saying.
From $30m to $4m is bargain for the size. The upkeep of that place is going to be hefty! Loved the high ceilings however the size of it made it so impersonal. Loved the kitchen area could be a really great space to congregate. The library was gorgeous that’s where I’d be mostly.
Rather impressed the pool has been maintaining itself
House has been vacant not abandoned. Hence logical it’s somewhat maintained and probably heavily secured.
Creepy organ music and a crackling thunderstorm would be spooky 👻
It'd be cool if you guys do some fact-checking documentation on not only the property but also the families that lived there and what they are up to today. These palatial homes have tons of stories to tell, I'm sure.
We do but we can’t say everything and we have to alter stories so people don’t find the location. Too many looters and vandals these days
Too bad. Location and facts would add great background and context to the property and story
@@jamesmmooney I don't agree with that considering how many vandals and thieves are out there right now. These disgusting people do not deserve to know the location of these places.

Agree'd, that's the part i'd like to know most about abandoned homes, like why they were, what the story is etc..
. What an outstanding place. I can't believe it sat there for 16 years and it's not completely damaged. Awesome tour Thanks. God bless.
Yeah just some mold in the basement is just about it
No it has been vacant. Not abandoned.
Magnificent! Could have been rented out for a movie location! Very original and unique!💕
I agree! Such a beautiful house but also way to big for me. I could imagine lavish parties drinking brandy and smoking cigars. Lol
Reminds me of the movie, Meet Joe Black.
Yes like a scary movie, or a movie like cheaper by the dozen
I am an interior designer..That was just beautiful...so much custom wood and the windows were beautiful . The Cinema ticket taker was way over the weirdo scale....who does that? And then leaves it therein? It would take alot of money to furnish and decorate that home...I can only imagine ...what a bargain at 4 million its timeless but again too big for most..there must be bad memories for the family to leave like that. Sad
I think the family was just happy to leave. Way too big. And the styling is quite old fashioned. It’s all dark brown. Yuk.
That would make a beautiful bed and breakfast place. With all the rooms having their own full bathroom and balconies. I would stay there if I could afford it! Thank you for your videos.I enjoy following you through these houses.
Actually quite tasteful for a mansion! Love the vaulted ceilings in the bedrooms, the cinema is damn cool.
Imagine sleeping all alone in that place and hearing a noise?!🥺
Oh.... No worries.
Its just the house settling!!
🤣🤣😳😳😳
Wouldn't sleep another wink the rest of the night.
@@anitajinfla9762 Right..
😂😂😂
Wouldn't be staying alone! The video of this empty house is terrifying enough👻
Wow very beautifully made. This place could be made into an apartment complex. The rooms are massive. Great video
It always blows my mind that places like this exist. What an experience and life that must've been.
Looking forward to this explore. Enjoyed the Instagram pics giving us a preview of what’s to come. AMAZING mansion! Thanks Bankz!
WOW!!!!What a amazing Mansion!!Never seen before a house like this!!The pool is so large and the elevator is awesome.Thank you for the great video!!Greetings from Germany!
WOW! What a cool find. Love that elevator in the middle of the 2 staircases. You have
to be rich to have an elevator and a movie theater in your home. That house is too
big for one family to live in. You could fit 10 families comfortably in this house.
Thank you Bigbankz for bringing us along on this very cool exploration.
Id be able to live in a castle alone and with how the world keeps going i wouldnt leave lmfao
@@monstereng43 .......
I hear you there
It would make a great hotel!!!!!!
Damnnnn you can fit a whole family reunion in that mansion. 😮
Hey BB. The library was my absolute favorite of all time! Just perfect
It’s a super cool place, way to big for my liking but this would make a great Airbnb or hotel style place. There were some really cool features I would like to have in my house. Thanks for the tour.
Wow what an amazing house! It was so huge and beautiful!
Absolutely beautiful! I loved the outdoor looking area by the theater. I thought it was so cool with it's stone/brick road & even had street lights! Oh & that kitchen... ah, I love a big, beautiful kitchen! 😍
Place is phenomenal but I can only imagine how much the utility bills would be....so massive & I think it's beautifully built...everything about it was amazing...
8:55 the triple green light goes over a pool table. Man room...TV, pool , bar.
Just have to add, I don’t thing I’ve ever seen a more beautiful or more perfect home ever! I’m so moved by this explore and have so much admiration for whomever designed this magnificent home! Thank you for sharing it with the public. It is a true standard for excellence!
Hello Rebecca how's the weather over there
It was amazing!! Love all your videos. Can’t wait to see what you capture on video next!!
This would be an awesome bed & breakfast location !
The size of this house alone makes it interesting to see, but it really is giving me "rich people have no taste" in some places. That tile flooring, the wall colors. This thing looks like the inside of a labyrinthian olive garden.
It's beautiful but i agree with you. It seems like it'd be a hotel.
I thought the same thing about the tile material at the front door.
Your comparison to O.G. is hilarious!
When I see design choices that scream "I did it, because I could" it leads me to believe the money was ill gotten.
Well … in general Americans have no style at all. Let alone that the houses are styled nice. So I wouldn’t say this is something for the rich. It’s across the board
You have my compliments for great editing, no unnecessary background music, & that you began by providing quality still-shots to allow a preview before the walk-through. All done very nicely.
The fact that you are showing my now favorite house doesn't hurt either!
This is my absolute favorite house that you have gone into! Thx for sharing!
I loved this house (castle). It was so beautiful. I am surprised there were no secret rooms. I can't imagine living in such a enormous space. It was so nice to see inside. Thank you for the tour.
There may well be secret rooms but they've kept their secrets.
The people had really good taste!
I’ll say this...growing up (with wealthy) parents, had a negative impact on my life. (I worked 40 hours a week, at 12. No joke) I had anything I wanted, because I bought it.
I was hated, for my parents accomplishments. I have nothing to do with them. Money isn’t shit. It turns people into snobs. It makes you a worse type of human. Be humble.
Speak for yourself💯
I had a friend who had very wealthy parents and said the same as you.
Sounds like you know what's really important in life. That's a blessing and brings peace in itself.
Love this comment! I have worked in and/on people's homes for a very long time, and it always seems like the biggest and fanciest ones are void of so many important things, like love, and humility, and general kindness. People in that position get so used to being waited on, and delegating endless chores and upkeep on their various stuff to their minions. This house in particular looks like a bloated waste of effort, created by vanity and some need to show off to others. I agree completely that at a certain level, wealth poisons people. When you can literally have anything you want, whenever you want it, you're in a strange and dangerous place, and it ruins a lot of people.
Bigbankz que espetáculo de mansão muito linda parabéns ❤️ pelo seu trabalho amei 💕❤️
I am Absolutely in love!!!! The basement is like a little town street.
Amazing mansion tour...stunning property 🏡 thank you 😊
I can't believe how clean an ready for sale it is. It's Stunning 🤩🤩 Thank You for the Amazing find!!! Love this house!!! Thanks BIGBANKZ ❤️🥰🥰
Hello Terilynn how are you doing today
@@stevenanthony199 hi I'm doing good and you?
This house is so beautiful, beyond words... Thank you for this 💌
FANTASTIC..
The hallway off the kitchen with the bathroom staircase to a bedroom, laundry room, and mudroom. Is a care takers or maid's even a chefs quarters.
Definitely one cool explore of ours. Glad you came along ! 🙏
Thank you! Appreciate you bringing me!
Wonderful tour of the mansion! The library and the huge walking closet are so interesting! Thanks!
This house was absolutely amazing!
The library was my favorite room. Only I would have more shelves. Absolutely loved it. The elevator was great too. Thanks for the explore.
That place is absolutely insane. I think the master bedroom is as big as my house. Downstairs was a little sad with the mold growth. Someone has to be taken care of the pool and the fans being on to keep circulation going. Thanks for this awesome place.
… well the house has been abandoned since ‘05
@@itypedmynamehere1807 there’s a difference between abandoned and vacant. The word you’re looking for is vacant. The house has been vacant since 2005. It’s definitely 100% not abandoned....
@@potc420 yeah, there is no way in heck that the pool would stay that crystal clear for 16 years. That pool is still being chemically treated and the fans blowing is to keep the air circulating to prevent the mold growth from spreading. Damp equals mold. Cobwebs honestly in a property don't mean anything. I get huge ones if I'm not in my basement every few days. People don't realize just how quick spiders build webs.
The bedrooms are insanely big. Too big, but everything in that mansion is big. My favorite room is the library. I'd have armchairs with ottomans everywhere. A booklover's dream. The basement is a great use of such a large space. To turn it into a European themed street scene complete with street lamp and a cinema! My dollhouse collection could definitely find display space in this enormous home. I think my grandkids would love to visit their grandma all the time. I'd have to hire someone to help me clean it, definitely!
@@heatherwarner865 ...
I get cobwebs into little apt. And I'm home most of the time
That place is absolutely amazing very unique. Definitely keeping it maintained. Could probably still swim in that pool. Get a very Spain vibe going.
Either you have big balls slipping into that house, or you know the boys over at Higgins Group real estate. The home sold for 7,750,000 million last year, way less than owner Stan Cheslock built it for $21,000,000 mil.

super glad it sold wouldve been a shame to see it rot away very cool and unique house thx for the explore
Its a crazy house, but it feels really cold, I don't know, but the downstairs area is like out of place
I have to admit, I didn't like it at all.
Could be a motel for immigrants , Biden would help pay for it ?
Beautiful!!! Thanks for sharing!! Keep doing what you do!!
Many beautiful aspects to this home!
Gorgeous house! Love all the wood detailing & the arched doorways.
Hello Brenda how are you doing today
This is a house. Nice how clean it was. I'd rather see the house instead of junk anyway. Beautiful. Thank you.
I love this home. Thanks for sharing.
Truly one of the most mind blowing looking houses.. wow wow
At 8:30 that appears to be a gentleman's room (or cigar room).. and yeah those "coffered ceilings" are amazing! That wrought iron everywhere is beautiful too (especially at the lift/elevator. The downstairs almost looks like it was supposed to give a Tuscany streetscape type vibe. That sunkin' library is beautiful!! They didn't cut corners on this house - all the beautiful woodwork, the archways with the post & beam architectural design, custom windows/doors, stonework inside & out. Was this a corporate estate/home or a Bed & Breakfast?
Since I'm in real estate, I see houses all the time & rarely do I get house envy.. but this house? Oh yeah.. I'd take it😍
Thank you for taking us along for this exploration!
Also a billard room.. hense that room has 3 green hanging lights for the billard table
Yes. That room, I said “Billiard room”. I think we’re on the same page!
@@StormAF yup.. in a lot of older plantation type homes you'll see it called "the parlor"..but yeah pretty much the same thing 😜
The home could be a hotel for immigrants , Biden would help pay for it ?
Wow, I hope this place won't get vandalize .I hope somebody will buy this place right away before it gets vandalize.
Beautiful. Thanks
Fantastic! Thank you!
c'est totalement magnifique !! sublime !! ce manoir dégage quelque chose d'unique, c'est magique !!
What an amazing place! Way to big for my liking but it was still incredible! Thanks Big Bankz for sharing this wonderful explore!😊
Hello Ray how are you doing today
Absolutely beautiful
Beautiful place. Love the style. Thanks for posting!
Very Grand house I love it, glad it isn't going to was, I hope, the new owner's don't tear it down and put something else up in it's place, thank you for sharing
Sold for only 4 million!? That's insane, they really wanted out from underneath it!
Wow what a beautiful home thank you for sharing
Love your videos, and also LOVE the verses you share before each one❤ thank you!!!
This one was fantastic! Good coverage & I didn’t notice the absence of stuff because of the awesome architecture.
Hello Robin how are you doing today
What a beautiful mansion, absolutely huge!
Down stairs reminds of a little street you would see in the Mediterranean.
My favourite room would be the library I’d love to have that in my house 😊
Agreed. Love the library with all the wood. It's my favorite room as well.
Thank you. so very much for this explore! I’ve not seen such a more beautiful modern explore. I’m blown away! As many have said, if we had the money, we would so want to own this thoughtful and beautiful home! So much care in the planning of this home! So many of us could really appreciate living here!
Hello Rebecca how's the weather over there
This is my favorite place I've seen so far!
Elevator in between 2 staircases is atrocious. 😖 A house that size with the washer/dryer in a hall closet?? Strange design choices…
Awesome potential event venue. Loved the uplights and overall architecture. Shame it's not being used. The "town square" in the basement was whimsical.
Hello Priscilla how are you doing today
Looks so peaceful, love the mansion.
This place is absolutely stunning! The Library definitely was my favorite room!!!
Biggy B this place blew my mind in every which way! I was lost how you got from room to room, wanted to see more room details like the theater, master, elevator, etc. Ten more minutes! Did you ever find a panic room? I saw a computer on behind you. Was that yours or the security’s that you disabled? 😝 Great job!!
I'd hate to have to clean that place. It's beautiful.
Wow, absoluteley amazing !!!
That was an amazing tour!
Beautiful home!
Nice to see there wasn’t much destruction in it.
You think that's abandoned? Power is on... Grass is taken care of... Even the pool is been taken care of... Since 2005... It's for sale... hahahahahaaa
Get a job hahahaha
That’s because there’s probably security guards there 24/7. Someone is house sitting here.
If they didn’t want a castle why did they build it so big?
Because they actually wanted a castle in the first place..
Fancy the owner saying ..we don't want to live in a castle? U wonder what changed?
I wish someone would buy it and somehow make it into hotel/ holiday apartments or similar. Downstairs would make a nice foyer. They would have indoor billiards,pool and a cinema too.
Make a restaurant and use the woodfire oven for pizzas etc.
I love the library.
Its a lovely place but ridiculously HUGE!
Absolutely beautiful 🥰
I hope the new owner will have a big family to show this house some love.
Or even run a bed and breakfast @ best.
I get pissed if I forgot and left my phone or keys on the other side of that house……………
I can only imagine lol
Just have the servants run and get them. Lol
What a beautiful home!!! Thank you for what you do Carter. It takes me away from the world for a short time and I need that! I wont ask about merch again...not directly haha!!
Hello Lynn how are you doing today
Oh Wow❤
I will never understand. I will never understand why these beautiful homes go to waste.
That house was absolutely bananas! Love the architecture! Fantastical interior too much of a house for me I’m more of a tiny house person. A person can get lost in there. A big movie mogul I can see living in there. If they got it for 4 million it’s a steal. Thank you so much! Love from me out in California 💜🤟🏻🍀😎🇺🇸
Hello how are you doing today
Awesome place! Kitchen and pool are fabulous!!
The cinema looks so cool
All I have to say is wow to have that kind of wealth unbelievable beautiful but way too big for just a family!
Awesome explore, but one thing that puzzles me is with all that over the top design, they have a tiny laundry closet. Usually houses like this have huge laundry rooms with storage
I think that lil laundry room was just for kitchen linens. Towards the end he shows a larger one, a s says there were 4 laundry rooms in this house.
@@harveymccoy9838 gotcha, that would make sense. I guess I missed the other one,
I thought the same🤣 mine would be a nice mud room
Oh my goodness...what a find...
What a wonderful location for a mystery mansion, roleplaying, immersive adventure.
