This place isn't such a bargain. Only has a 5 hole golf course. But is in London

I know it's estate agent speak but it's right at the end of the blooming Northern Line. That's out in the boondocks! RichB said:

BTW, next door neighbour is David Mason OBE, who single handedly took on Distillers Company in the 60's in relation to thalidomide on behalf of his daughter Louise. If you have some spare time read his story. It's extremely moving.

You definitely could buy 100 acres for less than a million in a lot of places.
Not in Aspen though, probably the most desirable ski resort in North America and people are prepared to pay a hell of a lot to live there.
Thanks for adding that. Not in Aspen though, probably the most desirable ski resort in North America and people are prepared to pay a hell of a lot to live there.
Now we know why it's desirable!

However, that's just the owners tat, and you really need to look only at the house in these listings.,.. not the stuff they take with them.
I quite like the house. Get rid of some of their arty stuff, and put a few splashes of colour in there. I think it would be a nice gaff to live in. Cant stand old fashioned interiors personally anyway.
No desire to live in the past.
You'd have to have one of those orange wives with inflated tits and lips to add some interest with all that white paint everywhere I guess if you didn't redecorate.
Would love to know who's house it is.

I like the Rivendell place though, could so easily look like total tat but in fact looks like it's been really carefully done

It's up for £20m and you don't think it's been dressed for the photos? I rather suspect that it's very much meant to look that way and the overbearing bling and total lack of taste is what someone will be looking for to impress their equally tasteless friends.

The Rivendell place is actually quite nice, but I think the photos of the actual house need to be improved. The place is very private and has a large wall surrounding it for privacy. I've passed it every day, it's right on a main road, but you'd never know it was there from just feet from the wall.

I think more needs to be shown of the house. And yes the gardens look like they've been done to an amazing standard, like what you'd see at a stately home. These types of gardens can look extremely badly done, no matter how much
I've and effort goes into them. These look professional.

Very nice, too - but a LOT of wasted space for the entrance/stairs/landing?OK, there's still 8k sq ft otherwise, but, well, you know...

Obviously about the location and view but for that money the plot is tiny and the house is nice but not $12M nice.Gassing Station | Homes, Gardens and DIY | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
