I know that Hearst Castle is big…but…. The fact that this palatial 30 000 sq ft mansion set on 3 acres of land was still considered “downsizing” for Mr Hearst…. Mind = blown 🤯
Me and a friend snuck on this property back in the 80s. Swam in pool for 5 minutes before we saw someone. We left so quick. Memories before cameras everywhere
its probably people not wanting to spend money on historical artifacts. Its an amazing house, but part of the selling price, is probably the fact that everything is original and has a historical significance. not only are you paying a lot more for the house, but you woldnt feel comfortable walking around in a house that could easily be a museum. im guessing that for half the price, you could purchase a new house of the same size, but with modern amenities. one that you can walk around without being afraid of breaking something.
I thought it looked like the place where Tom went to speak to the film maker to give the lead role to "Johnny" in his next movie...that role would make him a big star!........ Well we all know what happened next...he he
@@ronaldtownsend6296 exactly! That house is referred as The Godfather house instead of the house that they try to convince the director to give Johnny a leading role in a movie.
it's not jealousy, but i would not want to live in this home or most of the multi-million dollar mansions on yt. To me a home isn't a status symbol, and it's not (primarily) a real-estate investment...it's a place to feel.... well, at *home*-- comfy, cozy, safe, dreamy. I would def. like to live in a bigger home than I currently do, but nothing over 2000 sq ft. I wouldn't want to have to hire someone just to keep track of all the bedrooms. I would love it to be built with beautiful, high quality, sustainable materials and creativity and craftsmanship (like those awe-inspiring herringbone brick coved ceilings?! I'd take one of those! but I don't need or want anything ostentatious or whose primary purpose is to impress others or buffer my fragile ego. It needs to be timeless looking with nods to history as well as the future-- design and style that would wear well over the decades and not need constant renos to avoid feeling dated... feel comfortable to inhabit, if it's just me at home, and also big enough to have up to 25 people inside or double that outside. I wouldn't want a home where I could entertain 200+ people. I would want the objects in the home, including some of the furniture to all have meaning, and not just be generic picked out by a decorator to match the decor. And for the love of all things good in this world, give me COLOR!!!!! it doesn't need to look like a box of crayons exploded, but color brings excitement, mood, and joy...why stick to only black and white and tan just because that's deriggeur? I would want to actually feel drawn to spending time in each room and not have an just for trophy purposes. Also, rooms can serve multiple functions. Like those houses that have a separate room just for massage.... how many freaking massages are you getting that you need an entire room dedicated to it? I hope someday I am blessed with luck and can afford the home of my dreams, but it's good to know that I don't actually want a mansion or a billion dollar home. In fact, one of my happiest times was when just about everything in my home was packed up into a moving van and then my move was delayed, and I had only a mattress on the floor, 1 rubbermaid tote filled with plants, 1 cup, 1 plate, etc. and a Pier One ricepaper round lantern for lighting....for almost 3 months...it was so zen and peaceful
It's old, it's dusty and completely out of style. The last time something good happened there was when Beyonce shot a Vid there otherwise it's in massive need of remodeling
