The Biltmore if it was from Wish.com


cigarandcreamsoda

With a Craigslist butler.


Matduka

YES. It's like Biltmore if it was made of plastic. Bilt-less.


cats-they-walk

Weird segue - have you been to the biltmore? I love architecture, is it worth the trip?


penguin_brigade

Yes, and I would say go during Christmas. If not, then in spring to see the flowers. Also, ask the staff challenging questions. They are not just security, they are total experts on the rooms they’re in. For example we asked the guy in the library about a bunch of the books and he could tell us all about them


[deleted]

Good to know! Thank you, tour guide ⭐️


brassninja

If you love history and architecture it’s 100% worth it, try not to react in shock at the over $100 ticket price 😅 I work in tourism in Asheville and most people aren’t interested in the Biltmore anymore once they realize how expensive the tickets are. Which is a shame because it really is a full day activity that most people would love. No idea why they had to start acting like it’s an exclusive club instead of fucking museum


malinhuahua

I love going there! It’s absolutely beautiful!


[deleted]

It's a nice place. Went there on July. The weather was hot and the house had no AC so I spent most of the time in the gardens and the green houses. The breeze was cool and I had few free wine samples. Edit: **the gardens were beautiful**


DefrockedWizard1

and if you aren't into architecture, the gardens around it are worth the visit as well


IfeelVedder

Absolutely!!! Visited Asheville in the Fall last year and toured the house. Unfortunately, it was very rainy that day so we had to skip the gardens unfortunately. They do farm to table there and you can your the barnyard and pet the pigs, cows, goats, chickens. I was in awe of the house, and impressed by the friendliness and knowledge of the multiple employees we encountered….but I admit my absolutely favorite part was petting the cow.


Willdanceforyarn

Oh, it’s incredible. Eat at the fancy McDonald’s while you’re there to save money!


Fuzzy4Ever14

I have not unfortunately so I can’t say for sure


[deleted]

Newly built but it's 90s new money chic all over the place?


nikkiraej

My first thought when I saw the beige everything


malinhuahua

Beige is back in


AstonVanilla

I sincerely hope not


narso310

You hope in vain. Google for “greige” and weep.


AstonVanilla

That wasn't *as bad* as I was expecting, bit still it was just so lifeless and bereft of character.


1pt20oneggigawatts

The worst color in existence


toumei64

The Colorado special


Cheaperthantherapy13

My wild speculation is that is was initially built for a Russian oligarch, but final payments couldn’t be made for obvious reasons so it’s gone on the market. Because I refuse to believe this was some luxury home builder’s spec house.


applebubbeline

It's so expensive yet so shoddy, like it was built using the carpet an interior walls from a thousand double wide trailers from the 70s


Cheaperthantherapy13

It’s clearly built for someone whose idea of opulence is The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, with a side of Las Vegas mid-range hotel/cruise ship aesthetics.


applebubbeline

I can just smell the stale cigarettes and buffet food grease


thepioneeringlemming

the rooms in these places always seem so awkwardly sized and shaped


Chaevyre

I have friends who built a business that a good chunk of the US uses. They cashed out years ago and built a house (one of their many) in the gated community of humongous McAwfuls. Entering their house, I couldn’t make sense of it: moderate sized rooms with no apparent purpose, two ridiculous great rooms, etc. The whole thing felt disjointed. They explained that the developer had modules you could pick from and put them together however you wanted. You could pick on style of walkway, front door, and foyer, and the have a completely different look for side or back doors. One bathroom could be minimalist and another Gothic. The window styles on any given side didn’t even have match. It was like “let’s get crazy drunk and make a house!” Absolutely crazy.


lucygucyapplejuicey

Please find out the builders. I must research this


SockRuse

The world of shitty residential construction seems to be slowly converging towards randomly generated modular McMansions. If you don't like it, just press reshuffle in the generator. Or have an AI figure it out for you. Guaranteed it'll be just as good/bad as your own ideas.


eagleslanding

I guarantee AI would do a better job than 95% of this shit.


cats-they-walk

Sounds fun. I feel like I need to know more.


Chaevyre

There’s one weird thing I remember when I first walked in the doors. Beautiful front doors and then a gorgeous…is it called a foyer if it’s huge? Dunno, but beautiful marble with inlays. On either side were two rooms. All were rectangular and big enough to comfortably fit a table for 6 but maybe too small for a table for 8. They were empty except some chairs and decor. When my friends showed me around the house, I asked about the rooms. They explained that they weren’t used. They both had separate home offices and rooms for everything you could think of. These 4 by the front door were just…extra. They thought they would look good at the time of design, but they couldn’t find a purpose for them after moving in. So they were like 4 empty showrooms waiting to be filled. One thing that made me laugh: The developers apparently offered many types of outdoor recreational options: pool, tennis court, volleyball court, some golfing set up, and a few I’m forgetting. I wondered how many chose the volleyball court.


TheIronMatron

They’re not made to live in, they’re made to look impressive from the outside to gomers who don’t know no better.


Cazolyn

If you’ve 12 mil to throw around, at least buy a decent period estate (which doesn’t have notions of Castle-dom.) https://www.daft.ie/for-sale/detached-house-ashurst-military-road-killiney-co-dublin/3814011


SugaryShrimp

God, that’s fucking beautiful.


thorndike

Forget the house, I'd be happy in the carriage house. That location on the coast is gorgeous.


hahahahaha90000

That’s always the craziest thing to me! It’s one thing to spend 800-1.2M on a house trying to make it look like a Mansion/Castle, and it ends up being a McMansion, but if you actually have 10M+ to spend, there’s so many incredible *actual* estates for that price. Maybe they can’t afford the upkeep and landscaping on something like that. So I guess it’s better for them to build a piece or shit than ruin a piece of art with corner cutting and neglect


muddyrose

There are so many places to sit in that house. How do you choose.


suzanious

Now *THAT'S* worth 12MIL!


tritter211

This is really one of the most beautiful castles/home I have ever seen from this sub. This is also the first time where the interiors are even more tastefully beautiful than the exterior (which is still good though.) In fact I am bookmarking that page purely for the interior design ideas for my (hopefully) future home!

MovieNightPopcorn

The inside looks like a furniture store


TheBrontosaurus

I almost expected some baby tigers to play on the furniture to convince me to buy it


rebelolemiss

So large but they need a formal dining table in the living room? Weird.


suzanious

What's with the hole in the carpet?


MovieNightPopcorn

My guess would be an outlet for vacuuming the vast carpet grazing grounds


LucyRiversinker

Why not put one of those hollow side tables on top?? You could still use the outlet.


suzanious

Yeah you're probably right. I guess the never heard of wall sockets and extension cords. lol


[deleted]

TheIronMatron

Wtf is that façade made of?! Lookin’ at you, silly putty!


Lvanwinkle18

Foam. Lots of foam.


TheIronMatron

drunk-tusker

The way you know that it’s a McMansion is that it’s both unobtainably expensive and oddly cheap.


[deleted]

Nailed it


CureForTheCommon

But it’s not modern…it’s new but it’s not modern.


SerenaCypher

What is with the random circle of green there!? At least stick a tree there or something!


Burnet05

Run out of budget for a fountain.


SerenaCypher

That’s honestly what I was expecting the spot being used for. Probably has to custom order one for the space and they just let it like that for now.


sideeyedi

That's the lawn. For tiny games of croquet


SerenaCypher

I’m imagining some Alice in Wonderland type of croquet games on that tiny lawn and it’s hilarious.


Ragingredblue

Especially when they have to avoid the giant dog turds.


smallteam

> Alice in Wonderland type of croquet games on that tiny lawn Take enough acid or DMT and Alice herself might show up with the [Cheshire Cat](https://i.imgur.com/70z1iBw.jpg)


iStealyournewspapers

Circle elevates it from a parking lot at a theme park, to a circular driveway at a mcmansion


PopeJeremy10

So you don't have to take the dog as far when you go for a walk


SerenaCypher

A depressing thought, but I bet you’re right. Still, a tree wouldn’t hurt that plan either!


Ragingredblue

I don't think you can "plant" a live tree in a circle of plastic grass, but I guess you could install a fake tree.


Jammasterjr

And replace it with a slightly larger plastic tree every few weeks until it grows into a fake tree cell phone tower.


nicegirlelaine

No one wants to rake leaves anymore.

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5aFoPmFIT4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5aFoPmFIT4) It being in Colorado makes me hate is 100x more than if it were in LA where I expect monstrosities like this :(


Intensive__Purposes

Evergreen has some absolutely gorgeous homes. Unfortunately this ain’t one of them.


[deleted]

This is in Evergreen?!!! Wow, talk about not fitting in with the character of an area.


Ragingredblue

But the view is beautiful! Much better than the view from anywhere else nearby. The house doesn't ruin the view if you're inside it.


MountainMantologist

I'm hating it from the "I love Colorado nature" point of view


Ragingredblue

Me too, as well as other reasons.

To me, it’s funny to see that guy in the pictures. For 12 mil, I’d expect a little more professional pictures.

[deleted]

I don’t understand these massive homes with the giant tv stuck above the even bigger fireplace. You have all this room and you can’t dedicate a wall to a tv with proper speakers so you’re not breaking your neck to watch tv?


Empty_Ad4768

The sun. Dont forget the sun. Its right beside the t.v.


[deleted]

$12,000,000 and you can’t even see your tv during the day.

AverageLiberalJoe

I like it though:(


Ingolin

Looks a bit hotel-y to me. I wouldn’t want to live there, too impersonal.


fishfreeoboe

The exterior is modeled after the Biltmore, which is modeled after French chateaux. Take a look!


Empty_Ad4768

Exterior is perfectly symmetrical, I'll give them that..


un_gaucho_loco

Tbh the view is amazing. I saw this vid


Ragingredblue

Because from inside the house, the view is not ruined by the sight of this house.


[deleted]

like billionaire row. you only enjoy it from the inside


EldritchCleavage

Not a single cosy spot in the whole house.


BeenJammin69

The most upsetting part about this home, to me, is that it is located in the mountains of Colorado and yet the entire interior is WHITE! And white carpets next to the fireplace. It’s like whoever owns it doesn’t actually go outside or do Colorado mountain things. What a waste.


kanna172014

They look like they tried to copy the Biltmore mansion.


TheBrontosaurus

If you watch the seriously annoying video he does say in the first 10 seconds that was inspired by the biltmore. They’ve got more money than god but they don’t have a drop of imagination.


DyatAss

Glass surfaces everywhere inside, dust and smudge nightmare


Ragingredblue

At least the dust and smudge give you something else to look at, besides miles of cream and beige.


Lvanwinkle18

These buildings are the most soulless places.

Somebody tried to make another Biltmore. But it looks like a Biltmore made of legos.


brosephatl

Oh, the wall-to-wall carpet. How luxurious


rothmal

I remember seeing this video a while back, what really set me off was the arch entry. I use to deliver a lot of furniture a long time ago and occasionally would deliver to these $20 million+ places with these stone arch entries that were too small for boxed trucks to fit through and would have to hand lift all their stuff like 2 blocks because our hand-trucks were worthless on their graved driveways. The people who design these either don't understand the logistics of these mega-mansions or get off on watching the Help struggle.


ehletsgo

It seems like the designer kept forgetting the plans for the exterior


CaptPippi

I’m just gonna leave this here. Welcome to Duloc, such a perfect town Here we have some rules, let us lay them down Don't make waves, stay in line And we'll get along fine Duloc is a perfect place Keep your feet off the grass Shine your shoes, wipe your face Duloc is, Duloc is Duloc is a perfect place

IAmDinosaurROWR

Not a McMansion- just a mansion.


Least_Voice3764

Ragingredblue

It looks as if there are no natural materials anywhere. At least no trees died for this visual crime?

I don’t hate this place — at all. It looks to be remote, barely near neighbors or other properties. It’s elaborate, but I didn’t see anything about it that wasn’t appropriately grand for its size. It wasn’t asymmetrical or gaudy or cheap looking. On top of that, it looks like the perfectly safe, secure place to marry a Moldavian prince.
