At $1.6m, developers should be looking into sustainable energy sources like solar instead of using generators that constitute another source of environmental pollution. All the same, the house is loaded.
I feel the contactors were trying to fit too many things into tht tiny space.The parking, the swimming pool is almost at the dinning area,the steps for the pool are almost touching the dinning door.Maybe they should have put the pool at the roof top,that way atleast one can sunbath with pool chairs.The kichen colors should always be neutral to allow the tenant to play with the colors they like,also the kitchen was small.Too much gold accesories might end up looking tacky.I however feel the house has so much potential with how the interior designer will lay it out.The furnitures,beds,dinning will either break or make the house
I agree with this, fitting to much in a small space comes across as clumzy, no matter how much the land costs. A simple functional home with beautiful fittings says home more than cluster of spaces jammed together. But that's just me
I wouldn’t buy this house even if I had the money x10 … because of the land space the architect had to squeeze in a lot of things .. a $1.6 dollar house I don’t have enough space in my leaving room .. not even a spiral staircase … no be by force to leave for Ikoyi ..
If money grew on trees, I'd pluck enough money to buy this masterpiece of a property. Hats off to the designer of this lovely home. Money, where art thou? Come to me real quick!
@@kinghenry4285 why not? It depends on personal tastes - and how much of it you have. If you like these sorts of property, you will pluck down your “hard-earned” money for it in a heartbeat. Money should merely be a facilitator, and not an end in of itself.
No billionaire will buy this home except a politician that wants to launder money. Where will he park his cars? Where do you sit when you step out of the pool or before you step in? Do you bath while those in the living/dining room are staring at you? Soany flaws for a house that costs 1bn naira and is being given to Nigerian RU-vidrs to market. Soon Tayo Aina will also make a video...next will be macaroni and taooma. Las las dem go sell am 250-300m or less
Is that a swimming pool or a bath tub🤣🤣🤣, Lagosians still don’t understand the importance of space and privacy and the properties are over extortionate just for some calibres of people and you think crimes and corruption will ever stop in that clime🤔🤔
nice house and video. Just my opinion for future house tours, just mention the presense of a panic room and not show the location, its no longer a panic room when everyone watching this video knows where to find it. i feel the final floor is an after thought.why have a room there, it would have been Amazing to have a proper sauna, masseuse area, a jacuzzi and a lil wine bar.
I came here to make the same comment. It also doesn't help that the door to the entrance of the panic room can easily be kicked open. It's just one of those features that was added to the property to justify the price tag but has no real utility from a safety standpoint.
This is not a criticism just a casual observation from an American. First, love to see my African brothers an sisters "Making it Happen"!!! The observation is, Nigerian interior design has subtle difference than Luxury in the USA, hard to explain what it is though. One example is, after binge watching Nigerian luxury videos, is that Nigerian Luxury design has a lot of "recessed lighting", and it often multi colored, green lights, red lights, yellow and so forth. (like the ceiling light you see over Tony's head at 0:53) . Pretty interesting, seldom see that in America, unless it's plain white lighting and not flashing. I see a lot of gold trim in Nigerian Luxury. Nigerian luxury has marble walls also, I see that in American luxury also, but always/only in the bathroom. I never see a marble wall in other rooms in America. Another miscellaneous note, is , I gotta get a two piece outfit like Tony, to walk around with in my own house. NICE!!!! Like I said just observations, not saying one is better or worse than the other. When you can afford that kind of house, you express it however you want......
All true, the house is great, but there's definitely something about the lighting, the use of marbles and missing greenery that would put me off if I had what it takes to buy this house.
If Hushpuppi was a freeman he would buy this house..because this can only be achieved by four categories of people fraudsters, politicians , musicians and footballers period.The house is top notch.
What about bankers, ( Jim Ovia, Herbert Wigwe, Tony Elumelu), entrepreneurs ( Dangote, Adenuga) oil executives ( Wale Tinubu;Oando, Femi Otedola: Forte, Mohammed Indimi;OER) , and manufacturers, (Dangote, Rabiu )? Industrialists ( Oscar Ibru , Folorunsho Alakija) ? There’s by far more to Nigeria than the four categories you mentioned! Facts !!!!
Wow! Beautiful. I could love it more if it had a swimming pool at the terrace roof top. Good job to the developer. The interior and exterior are so beautiful. ❤ from 🇰🇪
I know I said the other mansion was mine but I like this one too. May God bless all those who dream and may God bless me with one of these beautiful mansions in beautiful Ikoyi, Lagos! It is done in Jesus name, Amen!
Nice house, beautiful finishing, however very limited compound space and the tiny pool was unnecessary given that the compound was lacking space. No trees for natural shed. My rating is 7.0/10.0
What on earth made you to reveal the security hide away? I will not buy this property because of the reveal. Guess where house invaders will go when they happen to invade this property. I do not understand why the exercise room is located at where the view is good.
Lovely and loaded property, so probably worth the price. Love the high spec and high ceilings. Definitely better priced than a lot of properties in my native Ghana, specifically in Accra. I have watched lots of real estate programs and I think people generally get better value and better finished properties in Nigeria. The only thing missing for me here is natural grass and generally more greenery but lovely house all the same in a high brow area in Lagos. If this was in Cantoments, Airport or East legon in Accra I bet, they will easily quote $3m asking price , without batting an eye lid.. and it won't even be this highly spec'd. We need to regulate those crazy property prices in Accra. Other than that I love both Ghana and Nigeria... We are one 😍🇬🇭🇳🇬 Thanks Steve for another quality production. PS: I love the estate agent's outfit. Lovely African attire. Tell him !
@@maverickdracula6202 Well, if as the agent says, the 500 square metre land itself is between $850k and $1.1m dollars (if you calculate based on 700k - 900k naira per sqm as he said) , then I think the price is reasonable. Ikoyi is a high brow area in Lagos so just like any other capital in the world, properties in high brow areas tend to command higher prices... It is about demand and supply. Clearly people are willing to pay those prices to live in those areas so it is what it is, to a certain extent.
@@maverickdracula6202 location, location, location…. In places like Manhattan (NYC), Georgetown (DC) or Central London, $250K will hardly (if at all) get you a studio apartment. In Singapore, you might get a closet if you’re lucky! 😂
Nah, real estate in Lagos is not worth the cost AT ALL. No greenery, concrete floors all about, not kid friendly, no garage, no driveway, the same boring architecture... I think developers need to travel more, and see what luxury homes look like.
The house is beautiful, the video is awesome. But we can do better hence my review. On the house: For a $1.6m property, the compound is definitely too small so also the pool. An underground car park would have made sense like you said. Financial resources were not evenly distributed; the money used to install the lift could have done a lot more - like installing an automatic wooden pool cover, or creating an emergency escape channel from the distress room, or even a sustained energy source(which I’m wondering why it doesn’t have one). On the video. Firstly I was almost lost at some point on who the house agent was, because you two were describing the house. It should have been one person talking about the house to the other person. Secondly, you don’t seem so familiar with the names of certain things used in the house. You kept using synonyms that are out off the field. Thirdly, the videographer was in the cut a couple of times. This is my take and I feel you can be excellent at this. Well done 👍🏾
Something I admire most about you is the fact that you don't get yourself 'sunk in' into the hype of the realtors you have met. When they tried to go overboard you expose the truth immediately. That's how you build integrity and a lot of people will have to get your opinion on properties before they invest their money in them. Great Job Bro 👍
The lighting inside looks like that of a night club. Maybe that's what Nigerians like. And the pool squeezed into that small space with the ubiquitous astro turf is ridiculous. It's not by force to have a pool🤷🏿♀️
I can see you're a troll on all Nigerian channels. First, arrange for a shrink visit to cure your obsession with Nigeria. Focus on your life and country.
This is really beautiful. I love the attention to details, the developers did a great job. My only issue is I feel a property of this value should have dedicated gardens, enough space for parking, dedicated staff quarters and some massive swimming pool. But with the cost of land around that area, getting extra spaces will end up doubling the cost of the facility. The cost of properties in Nigeria is growing at an alarming rate that this is the best time to invest. No wonder Ikoyi is listed as top 10 of the most expensive locations in the world. Nice job Steven
This cinema rooms i keep seeing around. Is it really practical? Why not watch in the hall or bedroom. Many teens will actually watch a movie on their phone or laptops.
Nigerian real estate will always be a sham as long as Nigerian as a whole still lacks basic infrastructure and amenities like 24/7 electricity, sewage system, water treatment system, good roads and infrastructure, healthcare, and most importantly, security. Once the entire country has access to basic amenities, the price of these homes will reduce because basic amenities shouldn’t be up charged and reserved only for the rich.
I Would Buy This Property In A Heartbeat Before I Will Buy A Condo Collapsed Buildings In Ikoyi. This Is The Whole Building And Your Land. My Dream Home. We Are Going To Start Building Our Own 3 Levels Retirement Property That Will Look Similar To This Home From 2022. We Just Bought The Land Accros From The Beach In Lekki. We Are Planning To Retire From USA 🇺🇸In 5 Years Time To Nigeria. We Already Have Our Plans In Place That Will Cost Us Between $120,000 To $150,000 Is Our Budgets
Stevo, well done as usual. At 9:56 you referenced a Kitchen designer but forgot her name. Little details needed to keep your channel as the #1 youtube channel for prime real property showings in Nigeria. Lastly, if you have access to watch any of the million dollar listing series (NY or LA), I highly recommend it (will benefit what you do). Remain blessed.
The house is dope!!! The house was missing several things to bring it OVER THE TOP such as, custom temperature wine cellar on first floor or basement, outside patio should have a jacuzzi and bar, and drive-in underground car garage (all glass to showcase exotic cars) and a bigger Man-cave the size of the first floor square footage and larger outdoor pool with waterfall back wall that can be seen from dinning room table/kitchen.
Interior looks dark in the daytime.....that's not a pool, it's an extended bath tub. Nigerians don't seem to be aware that the synthetic grass/astro turf causes skin cancer...it's no longer used abroad for this reason...kitchen seems small. electric sockets right over the sink????? The bath tub is aesthetically pleasing but impractical and uncomfortable for everyday use. The gold is abhorrent...silver would have been better..less is more. So when the children are grown and leave home, unless sold, the impracticality of the edifice becomes apparent. Too many floors. This is impressive if you have never left Nija before...If you have been anywhere near the Americas or Europe/UK....it isn't all that and def not worth anywhere near $1.6 million!
@9:25 Why would anybody want to wirelessly charge their phone in the kitchen next to an induction cooker, gas cooker or anywhere on the cooking area 🤔 There are better places to install the wireless charging pad. Just saying 🤷
They are not made with gold, they are gold plated...but yeah, this house decor makes it awesome, the smartness of the house, but I wish they included some green energy in the design too.
I'm a Cameroonian and I will love to own something like this in Nigeria. It's right up my ally. How do we make that happen since I'm not Nigerian and I don't live in Naija either
As an African, that shouldn't be problem at all. Once you have the money, just fly to Nigeria and I think it is VISA FREE for Cameroon and from there all necessary papers will will arranged. More so, Africa is encouraging Africans to move freely within Africa through the AfCFTA Agenda of Africa Union.
@@olumuyiwaojo3532 Cameroon is not a part of ECOWAS. Only ECOWAS countries do not require visa. Therefore, Cameroonians would need a visa to visit Nigeria.
@@blazinghot99 Cameroon& Nigeria share the longest land borders , who told u the people crossing that borders from both countries on a daily basis use visa or don't know what exactly u talking bout
@@briantahs1841 They are crossing illegally. Just because you share a boundary with a country does not give you right to cross the border without documents. If Nigeria was a country that enforces laws, Cameroonians who cross the border illegally are supposed to be deported back to their country. The same Cameroon that you are advocating for deported Nigerians who fled to Cameroon thru the border during boko haram attacks. We also share a border with Niger and Chad. Under Jonathan's leadership, many people from Niger and Chad who crossed the border and were living in Nigeria illegally were deported so it is you that doesn't know what you are talking about. You did however, showcase your lawless mentality. Smh.
They try to build on every inch of land in Ikoyi to maximize profits and besides most Nigerians don't appreciate gardens to and such it seems. They like astro turf and cut down any trees
@@ifehansson2254 VGC, Carlton, Nicon Estate, Lakowe Golf, couple of Estates on Orchid road, Emperor estate, Lake view estate, Royal Gardens estate, Fairmont estate, Diamond estate, Crown estate, Mayfair gardens, Beechwood Estates, some estates on the road of Novare ShopRite at Sangotedo, Farrah park, Cooperative Villa Badore, and many others are well planned. If you haven't visited at least 20 out of the over 250 estates in Lagos, please don't jump into conclusions. This is Ikoyi where land cost as much as some properties in many parts of Lagos. It's like building in your central business district.
Beautiful house. The interior is magnificent and it looks amazing outside. Think it’s just typical commercial city house where the price of land alone is enough to get you scared if you don’t have deep pocket. Like New York or London where luxury and opulence is on display. Lagos is in the mix surely. Well done for the amazing work on this video. Your quality is clearly there for everyone to see. I noticed your brand has gone to another level with corporate dressing which fit well with what is widely acceptable in this particular industry.
Nigeria Houses and privacy are enemies. When we talk of house design, our architect always think it is by lightning up the entire ceilings and walls. I think SouthAfrican houses are way top notch than the most expensive Nigerian house. Good show though. I enjoy your videos.
Watching from Toronto, where $1.6 million buys you a shabby run-down house. I've never even visited Nigeria but this makes me want to save up and live in style there. 🤞🏽
@@StevenNdukwu I've always wanted to, so hopefully I can soon! I actually found your channel through your video a few weeks ago about things to do in Lagos - you're doing a great job presenting an unseen side of Nigeria which foreigners like me have never seen!
@@christophernanakofiguggisb2572 sorry, I was definitely exaggerating but especially downtown, you would be hard-pressed to find a $2 million CAD house which is anywhere near the quality of this.
Ibadan and Ikoyi can never be the same. The quality of neighbours you have also counts. Building something palatial and then surrounded by peasants is no fun at all
@ugo there are highbrow areas in ibadan like aerodrome, alalubosa and the likes where your neighbours would definitely be classy people...just people looking to live a low key lifestyle. Check those areas, they are one of the most prestigious in Nigeria. Or some GRA around Iyanganku area...Ibadan has really high class areas and low just like island and mainland in lagos.
Steven listen, you're the one I can ask your favour for this deal why because you show case House's in both Ghana and Nigeria.. Now this is it, if I develop interest a particular house you have in your page and it in Nigeria and am in Ghana, hope you can work out the developer so that we build same in Ghana.. thanks keep the hard work 🇬🇭
Smart and sophisticated no doubt, but a $1.6M property that next neighbors can look directly into my compound, with overlapping car parking space, vegetables on the fence you called greenery and funny views, please. Nigeria real estate is overrated.
Beautiful house but the land space is too small for the size of the house. For the prize point it should have a sizeable drive and a worthwhile view and for the level of tech it should have solar energy instead of a noisy energy inefficient generator.?
The devil is on the details, and so is the designer. I appreciate the attention to detail. I do wish furniture layouts and placements were displayed so I could get a better idea of space use
This is definitely not my cup of tea.. I like the Bungalow resort style home design. With a proper massive Garden area and definitely a pool.. All this Gold makes me feel sometype of way..
It’s definitely worth the prices although too expensive, creating rooms and living spaces does not make a house a Home, outdoor environment does, attention of indoor outdoor living should be given attention, more natural soft and hard landscaping would have cap it all.
What's the need of purchasing a house like this yet can't comfortably park up 5 to 6 cars?. One who can afford such an edifice, can as well own cars. No parking space for cars.
When I taught I have seen beautiful houses in instagram, I never knew the best just arrive . steven u are indeed doing the lord work keep it up . I pray u and I own the house of our own one day amen
Good presentation by you Steve and the other guy. Both of you compliment each other. I have seen such building-up (because of land limitation) in Banana Island too, when I was in Nigeria a couple of years ago. Great efforts on the details by the Developer. I would however, change the gold trims to just simple high quality stainless steel. Classy isn’t always gold. The front door could also be more appealing. I have seen impressive wood/security front door in other properties. Nonetheless, I commend the Developer. Additional information that would have been useful, is the total sq ft of the building.
The interior of the house captivated my interest as it is a mixture of gold and bronze 🙌🏿👏🏿👏🏿😎 Also, the rooms are very spacious and attention to details played a critical role in the development of the property. Kudos to the real estate company and more success stories. Cheers 🥂 🍾
Underground car pack has nothing to do with topography, modern civil engineering can make anything happen, the developer didn’t think about it or doesn’t have the means for it
Yes Tony. Exquisiteness is a word. Good job Steven! I enjoyed the video. Beautiful home. I was hoping you would ride down in the elevator, but I guess the space would have been too small for 3 people, one trying to film . The panic room location should have been kept a secret.
I enjoyed watching every second of this. Beautiful, functional house. Nice camera work and good audio. Background music carries the visuals. Articulately presented. Well put together. Thumbs up team!
You know what $1.6m in america will get you? 🤔 this is damn too expensive considering that cost of running that house is so damn high. The space in the compound is small and little to no greens. South africa real estate all day for my investments
These prices are crazy! Not even a garage too! I don't care what you say, Lagos isn't New York, it isn't London and it for sure isn't Tokyo. Who in their right mind would pay top dollar for property in a city without basic infrastructure?? It doesn't make any sense.
Whoa, beautiful home! 😍 I would add green wall above plunging pool for more privacy. a small spa pool would be really nice on the terrace. First home I've seen so far in Africa with some wood flooring or engineered wood flooring. 😊
Many offices in Lagos have been using wood flooring since 2005, and that was when I saw it. I'm sure many offices I have not been to have used it for longer than that. I also have a friend that had that in his house in 2011. You haven't seen 20 properties in Lagos how much more millions. Wood flooring in my opinion suit East Africa climate better. West Africans don't fancy it. This particular house doesn't have wood flooring. It's ceramic tiles. I'm sure you're not familiar with that design of tiles with wood finish.
