I think there was a scheme approved about 3 or 4 years ago for conversion of the house and various outbuildings into apartments/residential and about 50 new dwellings in the grounds.

$8M is, er, punchy. 3k sq ft and 3 bedrooms ain't exactly a mansion so that's a heck of a premium for a name and a view.

Particularly when :- "Last Sold $ 1.68M in 2019"

Imagine wanting to change the furniture. Every stick's bespoke.

The point of buying a property like that is to buy a part of the brain of FLW. With that in mind, I can't see why anyone who bought it would want to change the furniture. The thought of waking up every morning in my own private Frank Lloyd Wright museum would moisten me to the point of dehydration.

yes Most of the furniture and fittings/fixtures are an integral and essential part of the house’s character and quality.

Is that the house from Diamonds Are Forever where 007 gets into a fight with Bambi and Thumper?

No, that is in Palm Springs. Very similar looking at a glance.
