Mel Simon's estate for sale... Wow

[hoosierdoc]

Got $25 million to spare? Simon's Carmel estate for sale

$25 million seems like an absolute bargain for this property. I'm $2 mil shy though

51,000 square foot house!!! That's only $490/sq ft and you get 106 acres, pools, guest house, golf course, etc.

I can't imagine.

Though...turning that golf course into a series of shooting ranges could be fun.

Just imagine how much it'd cost to maintain the place...not that it's a huge deal for someone able to afford $25M for this place anyway.

 

[hoosierdoc]

Upkeep would certainly not be cheap. This is something that could be swiped by a Mid East guy or Chinese dude.

 

[SEIndSAM]

I couldn't afford the property taxes on that.

Debbie was in my class in HS at North Central. Third chance I missed to marry rich (shudder). Not sorry I missed out on that one, either. She wasn't girlfriend material. M'lady's gonna make good on her own, though

Just a bit of trivia, but the catering kitchen at Asherwood cost more than many of our homes! $500K!!!

What, no shooting range? I'll pass.

Just when you thought it couldn't get much hotter, into your class walked Simon's daughter

I'll throw in another $20.

Let's all pitch in and make it an INGO fortress!
Golf course might be a good start for a sporting clay range.

Really I think Donald Trump should buy it. Make it a Trump national golf course. Best clubhouse in the entire planet!

zoning might be an issue though. It's probably zoned single-family residential.

I like to look at these listings, it's fun. My wife always says the same thing: "cleaning that thing would kill me"....ignoring the obvious fact that there would be a staff....who inevitably would not perform up to her standards.

It's funny. We are in the process of buying a new house. We've been living in our first house, our "starter" house, for 15 years. We are about doubling the square footage and going from 1 3/4 baths to 4 baths.....and my wife loves the house, but is not at all looking forward to- cleaning. I keep telling her that the kid's bedrooms and bathrooms will be far enough away that we never have to look at them, but that does not seem to make her feel better.

BTW- nothing close to 51,000 sq feet, well about 7%, but that's not too close.

Property taxes are only $110,000 a year! A mere 2.5 million down payment and $750,000 closing costs.....for a payment of $100,000 per month.

Also, can some of you explain to me why wealthy people have 7 bedrooms and 24 bathrooms? What am I missing.......is it for entertaining?

 

[Magneto]

Sorry folks I made an offer on it today. I expect a response tomorrow. Let's hope that they are willing to take $247.38 for it. CASH money mind you.

What sort of entertainment would you be doing in that many bathrooms?

you need bathrooms by the pool(s), workout room, movie room, garage, etc...

Best of luck....may you enjoy the place before the property taxes come due...or the electricity bill.

Hot was not a word associated with her. Interestingly, I recently read a prequel to "Freehold" by Michael Z Williamson (an Indianapolis guy, in fact) where Simon was referenced as a shopping mall developer a couple of hundred years into the future. Kinda funny, actually.

Most of them are full of, well you get the idea!

 

[ModernGunner]

Well, to each their own, of course. If I were in that category and wanting to spend $25 million + on an estate, it sure wouldn't be anywhere in Indiana, LOL...
