You can live in your very own rain forest cafe/ Tom Sawyer island/ Swiss Family Robinson for a cool 25 million

Now that is distinctive. Such a labor of love.

[circa1978]

LOL. I like it, minus some wallpaper borders, sponge painting and the dated kitchen. Maybe I lived in Florida too long because what is taste even? You have to lean into the kitsch. I'd live in that library, happily.

How does a $25 mil house only have a stacking washer and dryer? All those bedrooms and a tiny galley kitchen with basic appliances.

Strangely, I don't hate it. It is very taste specific for sure, and I don't think that I could live there, but for the most part, it's very well done. And the library is amazing.

That's the second kitchen. the first is early on. and probably second laundry. Nanny quarters maybe?

[dancingirl21]

It would actually make kind of an amazing B&B. The pool and yard look like a resort.

[Jalapeñomel]

I'd live there.

[arielroux]

The library! It looks like something straight out of Harry Potter to me. And I mean that in a fully positive and complimentary way.

[just]

I love the library, and the primary closet/bathroom.

[esdreturns]

I admit, I love the library. I need that in my life.

[georgeharrison]

I like it, too. I wouldn't want to live there, but it would be an awesome place to stay for a vacation. It's like a giant novelty house.

[achi]

That’s a really cheap ass washer and dryer for such an expensive home.

[sonrisa]

wtf is up with the tax assessment? I know it's Florida, but come on.

I assume it's in one of these spaces: "In addition to the main house, the property includes a 3 bedroom two bath guest house and separate staff quarters which are located above the five car garage."

[bex1973]

Some of the aesthetics are totally NMS but presumably if I can drop that much on a house I'd have some reno money laying around LOL

I'm actually more hung up on how terrible the bugs must be versus the weird deco.

[lessel]

I've been in a few houses in that neighborhood, one of which I think was probably just a few houses down from this one. I think all of the houses around the lake are completely custom. The one I was in had like LED lighting embedded into the stair handrails, and recessed lighting behind wall panels. All very over-the-top and very 90s.

[k3am]

... I'd be down to vacation there. I think it's cool for a special occasion, but probably not for everyday living.

[cleo29]

I love the library, the pool add the beadboard ceilings.

[simpsongal]

I can't see stuff like this w/o thinking we need to tax these Mfing people....

[icedcoffee]

This would make a fun Airbnb. LOL $25M house with tube TV's LOL. I don't hate it. I'd get rid of some of the plants though.

More than the current $2/year of property taxes. Again, WTF?

Oops, you're right, I missed the first kitchen.  It's much better.

Okay. I was shocked at such a small kitchen for such a large house. The main kitchen is better.


I LOVE the library.

[sandandsea]

I would totally live there and my kids would be in heaven. First I’d remove all the stuff (curtains, carpets, runners) and redo the bathrooms and kitchen. Then I’d start my event planning service and rent it out for weddings and the like.

Yeah it seems to me there is a main house and potentially multiple other units.

[CrazyLucky]

The house is a little extra but that library is Amazing!

[bex1973]

Also whenever we do these posts (which I love BTW) I always feel a little bad for the Realtor thinking even a fraction of the views are legit. But then I get over it because someone will buy this and the Realtor will dry their tears with a nice commission LOL

[newnamesameperson]

At this price point, I doubt someone would buy it for the library alone. Maybe the location makes it worthwhile?

It needs extensive renovation and yes I love the library.

[msmerymac]

I want to rip those silk plant vines out so bad. I can't imagine the dust they'd collect.

The location looks really cool, but also super flood-prone.

It reminds me of this house a friend found today, which also has it's own cinema, plus a catering kitchen, "Parisian Boulevard," speakeasy, bistro, arcade, home gym, 2 elevators, a "Collectables gallery" which is...something, a ballroom with a stage, and a complete executive office suite set up with reception and conference room.
