Touring the Biggest Mansion in Abuja for $1,300,000 

Natural lighting is something our engineers should adopt

My only problem with Nigerian homes, is the lack of greenery outside.

Abuja architects really need to do away with the acient House design of box, columns and hip roof. Especially for a single house client

One day I will be rich enough to buy my dream home with my family. Ameen 🙏🙏

Imagine taking a walk in the house and discovering a new room everyday 🚶😱

I absolutely agree. Im Zimbabwean married to a Nigerian. The first thing I did when we moved to Lagos was to plant a lot of beautiful flowers and shrubs. The workers at first thought I was crazy digging. Nigeria has so many beautiful species of flowers.

Nigerian architects must learn to invest in landscaping and greenery like how they do mansions in South Africa

I have for a while compared houses in South Africa and Nigeria. I have noticed houses in South Africa are way cheaper and way better. Nigeria is great too but I think prices there are way too high

As an architect, the finishing is indeed very poor for a luxury mansion, I wish we would actually know and respect the meaning of luxury in Nigeria, not using generic Deidei market finishings. Great tour and commentary!!!

I noticed that most homes in Nigeria dont love greenery when gardens actually add to a home.

My God!, where is the garden, landscaping, beautiful grass and trees, patio, gazebo, this is concrete paradise, as hot as it is over there. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yeah Steven, this is a real mansion, show us more mansions like this again, I appreciate your efforts.

Great video ... 1. When the guy on native said "lots & lots of dignitaries here" at 2:05 , he meant "lots & lots of Nigerian thieves" 😄😄... 2. Situating the generator that close to the "security" house is not a good idea for me 2:52. Exposes the security personnel(s) to too much humming background noise which attackers can use as a leverage. 3. The outside trees being too tall and way too close to the house 2:58 will definitely undermine the security of the house (with the present security situation in Nigeria) in case of an attack. Attackers would have been too close to the rear fence before they are even noticed to be repelled. The trees would give them the much needed cover they need. 4. I could not spot any CCTV for surveillance (maybe it is present but I did not notice it or it is still being set up). 5. Great job with the bulletproof (if true) entrance door 4:07. 6. No greenery. 7. I could also not spot any fire extinguisher or sprinkler system (maybe they are still being processed like the fire alarm 11:50). I believe that a $1.3m property should have all of these included.

It is now a beautiful mansion. Things change overnight. We are in Nigeria.

What I liked about this video was Steve asking the important questions and the grand entrance

I would buy this. That entrance is next level. It’s like the house of a king.

I'm sorry to say but houses in Nigeria are not built in a standard level go to south Africa please go and check out how mansions look I'm not impression please we need to upgrade

Whoever's reading this, I pray that whatever you're going through gets better and whatever your struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine and that everyone has a fantastic day Amen

I really appreciate your honest opinion,you talked my mind

My only problem with Nigerian homes, is the lack of greenery outside. 2

Steve please tell your friend to start adding greenery in his apartments. Let it be part of it cos is important for nature. Things like coconut, guava, mango trees etc instead of artificial greenery and non useful trees. He's great inside but outside should be upgraded or else it might be difficult for him to sell his exceptional arts. He's doing great, and I'll like to work with him in future. How can one connect with the company?

This would be close to or more than $5,000,000 in Nairobi,Kenya

I love the beat in the intro...

Hehe this compared to the one from Zimbabwe you did 🙌🙊 Southern African is ahead for sure.

Marhaba bredda big up to yuh channel.

My two favorites realtors in one video😅 I love u guys

Its a large house but for that price u need greenery 🌴 planted in the yard & in the interior elevator to go upstairs

Always happy to watch your video thank you so much for sharing this beautiful video with us

It’s too dark the windows are too small there’s no lawns no green spaces too much gold paint . I don’t think they’ve ever heard of understated elegance

Uninspiring and lacks imagination. With a budget like that, surely they could have done so much better. The kitchen was a flop, it feels like the designer would be better suited for designing night clubs than kitchens, the wall tiles in the bathroom with a jacuzzi was ghastly. The use of gold paint came across as tacky. Not much to like about the house. The lack of any green space is very telling. I would give it a 4 out of ten, not worth the price point.

Exciting to be here

I would definitely redesign the interior design in the kitchen and bathroom as well as the outdoor landscaping. Also redesign to get more natural lighting. Otherwise great space 🙂

In lagos this house will definitely be more expensive. It's amazing and there's always more that can be done. amazing ❤

I have seen this house before on another channel and still haven't been sold lol.. not worth that price

Love this video, you asked the right questions, the finishing is not great, and it doesn't scream luxury.

THE TILES IN THE KITCHEN ARE PERFECT...I WOULDN'T CHANGE ANYTHING

West african architecture is very interesting. Tiles and cladding everywhere and not a drop of green

We Nigerians too do paparazzi for house. I will give that kitchen 4% out of 10, and the tiles 3 and half out of 10.. Those are bad ground tiles. The toilet tiles are far better than the rooms tile. Why that? The engineer need to be whipped.. I bought a house in Tallinn Estonia for 1.550M Euro, far beautiful than this Abuja house.. Inside swimming pool.. I can send you a link of my house if u want, and whenever u come to Estonia u can come check it out.

First to comment..you suppose aza me boss,abuja is going crazy in times of houses especially the hill tops like bervley hills😁

To be honest though the finishing of this house is flawless

Oh! Steven!!!! Its house is very good! I Love África! Brasil

This is marvelous, Steve, though it's lacking a garden.

Omo... Mad B-Roll shoots.

This house is huge n nice 🥰🥰🥰 But Why most nigerian houses dnt have Garages - cars packing outside get damaged with change in weather 🤦🏽‍♂️ Nigerian houses n attention to detail 🔥🔥🔥🔥🥰🥰🥰🥰 but i feel they lack somethings - ive never seen an open plan from lounge, dining room to kitchen - its door n lots of doors - n thats unnecessary - doors are necessary in bedrooms n entrance to house the rest theres no need 🤦🏽‍♂️ The kitchen island is too small - for that big kitchen a bigger island with a stove in the middle would do - This days we do a potable kitchen - den do Scullery and storage for our food n kitchen utensils- den main kitchen is appliances we use daily n mini table for quick breakfast. I agree those lights are too much - one could get 😵‍💫 dizzy

This property would be a nice event space

Lovely as always

Thank God you guys pointed out my major concern, the issue of greenery. We have to address that in Nigeria. Artificial greenery is still a no-no for me. Nice property anyways.

Another banger

Honestly Steven, you pointed out all I didn’t like. This house was just big and not functional and didn’t scream luxury for it’s price. The worst room for me was the kitchen. I think it just need to be redone. Still think is a beautiful home.

A greeny environment, fountain ⛲ and miniature trees will have done this mansion a lot good.

Nice house though, the Kitchen island is too small for that huge space, remove the club lights from the kitchen because I will like to see the colour of my jollof rice. Also, the environment matters when choosing a house👍🏼I need to see same quality and house design on the street. Can’t be the only rich person in the neighborhood. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Beautiful house👏🏼👏🏼

Beautiful bro

I don't like those POP changing light, too flashy. A single light would be better.. Those light actually consume alot of power too.

House looks so big wow 👏

Some people have money but LACK creativity. I give it a 2/10. Terrible job.

I love this house I’m buying something similar

Ok this makes me proud of Nigeria. I mean see crib.

Wow .. just wow

This house is atrocious, poor taste. No greenery, no natural light, no free flowing ventilation. That gold decor cheapens the whole thing and that bathroom tile will cause an epilepsy seizure… na Scarface dey live there abi nah one US rapper? Such poor taste masquerading as luxury.

Abs Steve your feedback is spot on. The house looks gaudy....the lighting is ridiculous for such a beautiful home.

House feels like a project done by a village developer who never sat a day in an architectural class! House is ugly asf! Big for nothing! With such land mass no greenery, layout is terrible and price point is scandalous!!!

Cemented floor everywhere. No beautiful garden landscape. This is the problem with Nigerian developers. They don't know that soil helps to reduce the sun's heat and makes houses comfortable. The house looks like a warehouse from the outside. But inside is not bad

Nice big Abuja traditional house. I would have eliminated the guest house to make the pool bigger and create a garden. I would have created a third floor with a flat roof that can be used. Somebody that buys this house can make those changes.

Beautiful, from an African American ❤️💛💚✊🏾🖤

It'll have been nice to see the fully furnished work of the house....this house looks like a Royal palace btw

Its sad how so many of these homes don't get built with solar power and no grass or trees to cool off the home. Its a house built for parties only.

Another great video my brother, I still can't understand why you where not invited to the South African tourist indaba. Caz your work speaks for itself. An tour some of our South african properties on that price rage an see the difference. It would b interesting. Like I said great work 👏

You forget the big glass window for natural light and the outside you must put some trees or artificial grass

wow i love what am seeing here ,we need to make money i swear. i really love your videos

Quite a luxurious house, excellent finishing but poor planning honestly, the kitchen could be designed a whole lot more better and what're those lights, Greenery is a must have, a garden, trees to bring down the temperature and also to enjoy a nice view, not feeling the completely concrete structure

Beautiful

Definitely not the biggest Steven, there are bigger ones in Guzape, but lovely video sir 🙌🏽

Awesome video! 👏🏽 The house is very massive and the spaces very generous. You said most things on my mind, particularly the lack of greenery with such amount of land space. They shouldn’t be even talking about artificial greenery. They’d best break up some of those concrete and plant trees and flowers. I thought I was the only one that I had a problem with the small seize of wardrobes. The party lights in the kitchen is totally unnecessary. And the ones by the stair area too.

As someone who is into building luxury houses and apartments in UK , i strongly believe the house is a waste of resources , kitchen is a NO NO for me , ironmongery is not befitting a property of this magnitude, spaces are wasted and above all no green environment, common guys this is 21st century.

Wow Tnx bro good

the house looks good, is not everyone that like Grass and trees in their compound, I can't be clearing grass always n lots of dried leaf everywhere, I love this house

For 800 million this is dope

Wouldn’t it be nice to have high-luxury apartments and homes using traditional Igbo architecture with greenery? Like using Authentic African-style architecture w/ a focus of scenery to it! If I wanted Western style architecture, I’d go to the USA/Europe for that and that’s what these architects are not getting. Our history, our sense of architecture IS high-luxury. Just design it.

I honestly think House like this should be illegal to build. How the hell do you build a home on 1800sqmtr without a single touch of greenery anywhere. Don’t even get me started on the the design, layout and decor. Gosh what is wrong with people in this country. For such amount of money with horribly cheap finish. Where are the regulators? Oh they too don’t know any better never mind. But this is what happens when you lack standard (I mean quality standard) any one is a builder now

But why building such a house with no greens on the yard🤔🤔🤔🤔

There are definitely bigger mansis than that I Abujah like some I saw yester but this is a fabulous building

This is a ugly ass House. It's not modern at all, it's just a mixture of a basic building with ancient Greek/Roman columns to make it seem grandeur. More so, as Nigerians we should also focus on garden architecture. A house or a building can never be complete, unless the outside area is also well designed. That's means more greenery, trees, flowers, plants, lighting systems, masonry etc. Omo, this one na higgy hagga........ Anywho, Steven you are just doing your job. I appreciate your content and your efforts bro.

This house will be great as a mansion for content creators more so than for a family to live in.

Pls God I need a house like this in my life I pray 🙏 🙏🙏🙏

Who build house like this without greenery just raw..west african real estate lack taste

The problem is green spaces but it's magnificent

Absolute is so good i wish oneday by the grace of god to buy this for poors 😊

The kitechen is everything

One can invest in better quality real estate in the US or Canada for $200k. Properties in 🇳🇬 are just overpriced for nothing tbh

Beautiful house, I wish it was built in an area that is fully developed with neighbors all over the place. The greens can easily be modified. I rather build this house using rammed earth, to make the house cool all year round!!! If I have the money to buy this house, I rather build mine to my own specifications!!!

It's a nice mansion but personally, if I were to get it, I'll do a lot of work on the finish.

God bless you

There's no greens,trees in the compound very strange

no garden in the modern homes in our country . i belive it would help and give more aesthetics . compared to the cemented floors covering everywhere

It would be a very nice filming house for Nollywood.

love the house but with some greenery it would have gone along way

Thank you for posting this gorgeous big mansion house in Abuja. Much appreciated. I do have a question. Does these houses in Abuja comes with an annual property tax to be paid seperately to the City's Government? Asking, because you may know in certain G7 Countries, when an owner buys a house or mortgages a house, that house being owned or mortgaged comes seperately with an annual property tax to be paid to the City's Government. God bless...

I'm in love with is home just need to be a half size bigger to the left in to the right and that yard too I can't wait to arrive in Abuja to buy the bigger the more I can get lost in it and my wives can have their own elbow room and space

This is home sweet home

No greenery? This isn't my taste at all!
