Barbara Mandrell’s $15,000,000 Abandoned Mega Log Mansion | Shooting Range, indoor pool, and bars 

@@victoriadawn6319 , Why so Rude ? Some may not know...

Is it for sale??? If it has been abandoned, can I pay the back taxes and get it?

Thank you for explaining 😊❤

Well, I didn't know all that and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Don't be so rude.

@arizonaalchemy7572 Thank you so much for telling us your knowledge of this house. It always makes these videos so much better with as much information to add to the story 😊👍.

Big Bankz is one of the Coolest UrbEx guys I enjoy their work. They are Respectful of the sites they explore. It is nice to get to see places like this.

I like Cussing I All The Damn Time !!!!!!

Post 10 has some could abandoned explorations

Who do you watch where the explorers cuss every other word?? I watch a lot but I don’t hear any of them cussing.

It looks good that they only take photos and leave only foot prints..

I saw that show and it was so beautiful. I would give up everything I have now 😂I’d have to win the lottery. Everything I have would never buy that house but if I could live there, my dreams would be coming true.

Been a Barbara Fan since forever. Imagine owning and living in her custom home. I Hope a Fan buys it and shows it Respect. 😊 @@sandyleelpn

He said it's going to be restored, my guess is it will be the lodge for the cabins

I wondered if it was because there are 3 mandrel sisters.

Yes, it was named Fontanelle which actually means “the soft spot in a baby’s skull.” I remember thinking how odd that was when Barbara was explaining it.

It's was here kids n name is correct 😊

It is a shame, but you can bet the people who bought it, to them it's only a drop in the bucket !!! They bought it only for the land, and are trying to buy all the land they can in the USA.....they don't care if it rots down.....they could have opened it up and made cabins, etc like Dolly did and people would have gone for vacation to check it out, they could have made a lot of money but it would have probably been junk change to them.....anyone who could have afforded to buy this .....money is of no problem.....sure you have heard about people trying to buy up all the land in the U. S......well I'd say it's happening..... Calif. should take some of that money they made on this sale and found the homeless people living area in Calif instead of them having to live on the streets which is pathetic .....why are these same people being voted in every year??? What are they doing to help their beautiful City & take care of the homeless who can't help themselves..... build them their own area and get them off the streets not fair to the Citizens who live there and have to walk those sidewalks to work and have to pass this mess on the street.... why don't they clean it up.....what a disgrace....for this city & any other city that puts up with this ....no wonder people are leaving Calif.....I just can't believe people living there vote for this.....something is just not right !!!

​@@TheKentuckylady717Some of us didn't vote on it . They let the Cartels in ( probably do business w/..) and helped create a bigger drug problem and they skim the money that's supposed to help the Homeless people. San Diego helped illegal people before they'd help Veterans and citizens on their own streets. I am Not blaming the people who came there,but those who don't care enough to secure the borders of the U.S. We are all Sitting Ducks now....And if I could,I'd go see that movie about the children being saved from the pedos and cartels and other traffickers... The Sound of Freedom was the name I think? I am having a blank brain at this moment.. Sorry,stressed out.. You can look it up. All the negative reviews about it are probably from people in power Not wanting to get caught or having a peripheral connection to all that bad stuff...

You *should* be _'blaming the people who came there'_ along with the socialist elite and their ''useful idiot'' constituency AKA Demonrat Party. This particular influx of illegal migrants to which you refer is comprised largely of the dumb and ignorant who've, behind their chosen leadership, shown themselves to be incapable of creating and nurturing a decent society back in their respective homelands so they come to this nation bringing with them their borderline savage ways, a brand of barbarism and ''culture'' that in the end will only prove destructive here as well. And another thing , will you all _stop_ paying tribute to the *BUMS* ..these truly despicable creatures must be dealt with but not in the manner most often suggested by the naive@@lorenheard2561

​@@TheKentuckylady717you realize this is owned by a land management company, right? It'll be raised and something better will be built

​​@@TheKentuckylady717I don't even know if they're actually really voting these people in. I think there's a rigged voting system going on right now more than ever before. State and national level. I know for a fact that they cheated to get the governor we have in right now because he was not close to winning at all and then all of a sudden his counts skyrocketed in the middle of the night ( that seems to be their pattern even on the national level). He's hated by everyone except a small group of extreme left leaning and folks that are not really paying attention to what's really going on. God help America!!!

Was thinking that also someone probably staying in the part that was locked 😂these guys going to end up in jail for real

It’s about to be destroyed. Didn’t you hear what he said?

@chrisk920 I meant vandalism. Usually places are upside down that I see on here. But yes, it's a shame it's being demo'd

​@@deedeew9559 I get it....I am right there with you.

That monstrosity is an eyesore. It needs to be torn down!🤮

​@@sugarcookiecubeASAP 🤢!

It was and they were hosting events there. I don't know what happened with that. Then I believe there was a short time where they were doing Tours.

Yes, I was a singing tour guide then but that phase didn't last long . Within those few years, the property boasted several mansion tour a day, a restaurant, God shop,a TV studio, an ampitheater, a boutique bed and breakfast and a distillery. I am so shocked and saddened that it's all gone. The zip lining company is the only business entity still functioning.

Well when you go to sell it and no one that can afford a 15 million dollar home wants it then what are you going to do? No buyer means no sell. Sometimes it’s easier to just abandon or throw away something.

@@jonathannelson33 the American way

​@@niels1236If you have the money, why not?

Location/isolated from shops and medical clinic

@@jonathannelson33 just because they say 15 mil doesn’t mean you can’t sell for less. I would think anything would be better than nothing. Just my opinion.

Neat! However, I don't think it looks like this. A company bought it and is renovating it. Adding cabins and attractions.

Do you know why the Mandrell's moved? If I lived there I would never leave it.

@@absgbkm Downsized & to make this home a museum. Her daughter was the host for years.

@@absgbkm The incredible cost of maintaining that property probably made it a wise business decision.

I agree. The building materials are in impeccable condition. It should be converted into a bed and breakfast/ mini resort/ Rehab. Center…So many possibilities.

Type in on your browser.."Inside Barbara Mandrells mansion" Gorgeous pictures.

What a goofy waste of money.

Thanks for sharing the link. I just watched it. Must have been amazing to live there. Wonder where all the treasures Barbara collected ended up.

Ya i to thank you for sharing that like ,but must admit it kind of odd , you watch this video in it current empty state but then you watch the 99 specail , give ya a odd feeling

Thank you so much for sharing the link. Houses hold stories unknown, and I'm always left wondering what the stories are on these abandoned houses. I'm always left with unanswered questions. Who lived there? What did they do in the house? What circumstances led to them just leave the way so many did... Leaving things behind, especially personal items, clothes, children's toys, cars, pictures, documents. I usually feel a bit melancholy after watching. The fact that there's footage of this one in it's prime with the actual family moving about...living life... Amazing! Really makes you realize this was more than just a house or, later, a venue... This place was a HOME with people...a FAMILY doing normal (and in rich folks' cases, lol, not so "normal") things. Still makes me feel a bit sad that such a wonderful place has just been abandoned like this, but at least I have a few less questions...

Yep thanks for the link :)

Thank you for that tip. I just watched it. 😊

Yes. A friend of a friend of mine on the home that was that big and they needed five full-time caretakers just to dust and clean the place that cost big money.

@@XcoloradokyleX Does it look well maintained to you?

Thank you. I was yelling that at my screen, lol.

And imagine heating it

​. . . and cleaning anything in that house. Like a single room. You would need several full time staff just to clean and maintain. Why not turn it into a rehab place, or a hotel?

It was when I toured it in the mid 20 teens. For a while you could pay to tour this house. It was an amazing tour. That particular room was my favorite.

It's still in the toilet

I love your videos, but I thought it would be a beautiful home. It look like the Great Wolf lodge. It is so ugly. Tearing it down would be best

Yes it's still there.

I don't think it's abandoned. Pretty sure it's still for sale.

It really seemed like an industrial type building inside, not much like a “home,” you know?

You could probably fit a regulation size football field in the living room. The echo affect must be so bad even if you’re just trying to watch TV. People don’t realize that when they’re building these monstrosities, they are not very cozy. Places to live in.

True. Christians don't drink. Ever. None of them.

​@@docholliday3150Amen!!😂

Not really

That’s a low quality log cabin on the outside. Like the Walmart version. I’d rather have a real one like the ones in Montana or WA State

Deja Voodoo this home is 35 years old! All the logs did come from Montana! They used top quality logs and materials. It is very well made. Sadly, It has just not been kept up well in the last 4 years.

I agree with you too..... It's pitiful to see the homeless living on the street in Calif and Crapping on the sidewalk where people have to walk by going to work.....how can the City get by with that ??? I can't believe it's the voters voting to keep people like this in there City.....they should remember this when they go to the polls.....makes me want to cry..... and some of these people are Vets too.....and they went to war and fought for us and this is the thanks they get.....something is definitely wrong in this City.....

Barbara could have helped those people but instead she built a house that would eventually get torn down...😮 people with loads of monies do it all the time

I don't know but I'd sure give it a dang good try.

If you're bummed about it, you just take dip in the pool and eat ice cream.
