Mansionmania Tournament: Round 1, Heat 12

Mansionmania continues. I'm going to show you the most expensive homes in every state and a few territories, with a few extras thrown in from the largest states to get the tourney up to 64. It'll be a single-elimination tournament.

You will choose among each pair of houses with the following assumptions:
  • The purchase price for you is $0.
  • All maintenance, utilities, property taxes, and cleaning is included.
  • You must live in the home for the rest of your life.
  • You can't travel more than 100 miles from home (via google maps drive time) other than 1 two-week vacation each year.
  • You get $250,000 per year as a living allowance
  • You get an additional living allowance at the cheaper home, which will be valued at 1% of any cost difference annually. I will note this amount in the poll.
  • You get the furnishings. If unfurnished, you get an allowance that will give you mid-grade furniture in every room.
  • You get any vehicles in the garage. But only the garage - nothing parked outside.

I encourage you to click on the maps in the listings to see the general location and neighborhood.

Also, I will only enter contestants if they have a sufficient number of photos to judge, as determined by me.

Your entries in this heat are:


Kansas:

Delaware:

Yeah, Jesus. That is a house. Let's be real here, the Sharon Springs outfit is a farm operation. This is a $10M HOUSE. That's something.

In the literal middle of no where. There is nothing within 100 miles of that place.

Christ Rainman, you've got to redo this one.

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.

Wow.

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.

$2.25? I would've bid $2.26. I like that place.

Rain Man, this needs a redo with this home inserted. It's a contender!

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.

Sometimes you have to break the rules.

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

Eh, after the ranches and such in California, this was pretty much EXACTLY what I expected in Kansas.

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.
