What is the nicest home you have ever been in?

Mine would have to be Aaron Spellings house at 55,000 sq.ft. and about $50 million. 
Wilt Chamberlin's old house was really nice. 
My old agents house was pretty nice in Beverly Hills
Stallone's old house in Pacific Palisades is really nice as is Speilbergs
Sonny Bono's house in Palm Springs was nice
Our family (shared by all the family) hideaway is in a place called The Little Switzerland of America (Ouray, CO).  I never personally have seen it cause it was strictly for the older people in my family no kids were allowed.  I was never really close to my aunt so I never seen the place but my dad and mom said it is simply unreal.

I just realized to many to list.  And to bad none of them are mine

RPF, actually the aluminum siding holds up better and is much easier to maintain.  Wish I had it.  :-\

More of the shotty construction goes on where you don't see it....thinner subfloors, etc....


hahah my old house in Dekalb county ga was built in 95...had somoe shitty pressed material plank siding....when it raind...it swelled...replaced that shit with hardy plank....straight concrete baby

It does, I wonder how they built the foundation?  ???
it's on the bedrock.  If it starts to cause problems they only have to divert the stream on their property, but that won't be for a long time if at all...

That's cool, I've been in a small one that was suppose to be like a replica of one the pioneers would have lived in but that's all.  It was really neat inside.  Had really big floor planks and stuff.

NOW THIS IS A HOUSE.  This is a friend of my friend.  They are business partners.  I am going to this house in a couple months to meet him.  And yes I will take pics.  But this guy is 72 years old and looks like he is 40.  This house is valued at $100 million.  35,000 sq ft on 80 acres in California near Hearst Castle.  This place is unreal.  Take the Virtual Tour

Back in the early 90's I was looking at waterfront homes in a place called Canyon Lake, CA by Lake Elsinore.  A few I looked at were absolutely awesome.  Oe of them had a dock and garage under the house at water level.  It was awesome.

Are homes built with plaster, and good wood work really that much more expensive to build than these new homes that go up everywhere covered in shitty looking Aluminum siding and drywall?

 ???
