Looks like our local fishing ponds...

Apologies if a repost.

Detached in that there London with a pool, plus an interesting history.

I'm not usually a fan of this modern cube-type house, but I'd much rather that than the usual American wooden ranch vernacular stuffed full of dead animals that you'd usually find in this type of location.

The pond looks too man made.

The land is quite big yes but I can’t see the value in that at $45m. That’s a staggering amount of money. The house isn’t anything remarkable that I can see.

taste is subjective I get that, you guys are the sort of people who would dismiss gal gadot because she has pointy elbows.
The house is fabulous and not the usual flash ott interior you normally don’t like.

The first photo is clearly a nearly-finished ATC tower. Just need the radar on top.

Not sure I'd be comfortable in something so modern. It's a bit sterile.

Land is smaller than I'd like for the area and the asking price.

Brings back memories!

It's surrounded by industrial premises, busy roads, a railway and a stadium.

For knocking on 6m they're looking for a unicorn buyer.

Edit: not having 'real' neighbours could be considered a positive. Give it 5 years though and it'll be hemmed in by flats.

I like a lot of the Colorado stuff, but I don’t get this despite the lovely views. This twaddle from the brochure tops it off “Your new estate serves as a reflection upon the personal growth and spiritual discovery that come from living simply in nature.”... Aye living simply in your $44million collection of boxes.

Would you prefer the more typical pile of logs with antlers poking out everywhere?

Personally, I think it looks like a bunch of prefabs set down beside a quarry hole in the middle of cut-down forest.

The views aren't very nice at all. I look at that pond and the horrible, razed looking landscape and all it says to me is "midges".

[Gameface]

Doesn't do much for me.

It's interesting of course.

But lets just hope you like West Ham FC



Anyway, as some of you mocked my £5M Semi yesterday. I've found what I was looking for.

Victorian, detached and double garage

Kew
7 beds
£8,5M

Shame it's on a fairly busy main road really. And both houses either side look like they've been divided up into flats. Which is sub optimal

https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.4796427,-0.28949...

Just in a side street (preferably a cul de sac) would suffice FFS

I can tell with a high degree of certainty, that your links will be of huge American lodges

To answer your question, for me it's too big by some order of magnitude and it's got too much land.

It's a hotel, imo.

No, I’m not crazy about that either, but a collection of boxes for 44M not for me either - even if I had 44M!

Apart from being hideous It's so nasty I wouldn't even relocate my company there if it was an office.

It's a cracking place, and I really like it.

Not at £8M though. Not by a long shot.

[NickCQ]

I wonder if it has been chopped up into flats at some point in its life (or at least two semi detacheds) then reattached when it was renovated?

EDIT: looking at the 2008 image on street view I was indeed a large number of flats

If it had a double garage and was detached it would be £10 million

The house is only half of the £5m being asked. The other half pays for the view.

Here's an actual house for half that, in (well, near) Richmond.

OK, not technically that Richmond....
