Yeah, I'm torn on how to define eligibility on some of these places. If most of the value is in the land, is it really eligible for a mansion contest? I decided that I'd include places only if they had more than 5,000 square feet in the residence, and the Sharon Springs place has more than that. It's a darn nice house, but it's not a $10 million house.

That place sold at auction for $2.25 million in August. https://www.realliving.com/homes-for...6217-301777176 That kinda feels like a bargain.

Sadly it's not presently on-market so it's ineligible.

This is more like what I was expecting for a Kansas house. Something just stupid luxurious and over the top, some land, and still way cheaper than you would expect. |

Unfortunately, my hands are tied. It's not the most expensive 5,000+ square foot home on realtor.com.

It seems like the auction winners are flipping it. The article says it’s for sale, including the name of the listing agent. Never mind that article is September 2020. So they went from $10 million to $2.25 million. |

Your submission is like a house on 25,000,000 worth of land.

Some sprawling ranch house on a few thousand acres in the middle of nowhere. My wife's uncle owned an Angus breeding operation in south-central Kansas and it was worth a fortune. They had a fire burn up 40,000 acres and still had 10,000 acres untouched. They had so much space that even with like 3/4 of the county burnt up, they only lost like 5-600 cattle. He recently sold his interest to his brother and moved to Texas - guessing he got a mint from that...

Ouch. I wonder what the story is. It seems like a deal at $2.25. It doesn't seem like a deal at $10. I wonder if they had a loan come due or something.

Hey, how come Andrew gets to get up? If he gets up, we'll all get up - it'll be anarchy!

I just never would have guessed farmland could be so expensive. If I was given this Kansas house I’d probably turn it into a prehistoric fossil quarry and have people pay to come dig up mosasaurs, plesiosaurs, and all kinds of other prehistoric ocean life. |
