This 10,000 square foot home has been on the market for a VERY long time. Will it ever sell? Is it too big? Would you buy this house? I wanted to find out why it wasn’t sold. Let’s check out this house and see if we can figure it out.

    Why would anyone build a 10,000 sqft house right next to a major freeway?
  • @SeeMissDee1000
    The home is beautiful but, if I could afford a 5 million dollar home, I wouldn't deal with that traffic noise.

    The mast bedroom's shower is bigger than my whole family bathroom 😂😂

    That meditation room would serve as a prayer room.

    There are too many cons for the price of this house, mainly location, no security gate, back yard patio with kitchen, no pool, terrible floor plan, no backyard, no separate in-law suite.
  • Hi, my husband and I toured this lovely house last year. He fell in love with it! The craftsmanship and attention to detail were very impressive. Unfortunately, I hate that narrow road leading up to the house, and I couldn't get over that darn traffic noise, it's really loud. Unfortunately, the builder didn't think things through and chose a really bad lot to build such an amazing home. When you're spending that kind of money, people want peace and quiet from a long day. Most people also enjoy entertaining outdoors, but we love the home! It's really unfortunate.

    Post Script: You're doing an Excellent job showcasing these homes. You're not trying to sell them; therefore your honesty is quite Refreshing.

    A house next to a freeway is definitely a deal breaker. The developer/builders didn’t think that one through 🤦🏾‍♂️
  • @janetr5929
    In my very humble opinion I think the house lacks an identity. Is it traditional? Modern? Farmhouse? It’s almost like it’s huge just for the sake of being huge. There’s really nothing special about it. I guess it would have been an extra expense but I think wood floors, beautiful wood cabinets and solid wood doors in a rich tone would add an elegant touch. The floor plan is a bit choppy and freeway noise probably doesn’t help. I do like the solarium and could picture myself sitting in a big comfy chair watching the traffic go by. It’s a nice house and 100% out of my price range but even if I had 4+ million to spend it wouldn’t be on this house. Thanks for the tour, that was fun.

    The freeway noise wouldn't bother me. I find it relaxing. I'm from L.A. I lived near LAX, and airplanes flew low over my house all day! I would say stage a few rooms. It looks nonfunctional. Staging might help to create usage and balance in the home. If you don't have a lot of friends, family or parties, the size of the home could be a bit much. The brick is good--low maintenance. The price indicates that you need a buyer with a considerable amount of swag to purchase this home. It's a great house!
  • @dholmesnc
    As someone who enjoys peace, quiet & the sounds of nature, the traffic noise is definitely the reason it's not selling!
  • @robertharris4100
    The house is Fine from a architectural standpoint & it's one of the largest homes I've ever seen. However, this house is probably going to be seen as too large by most potential buyers. Also I would suggest staging some parts of the house: the living, dining room & the primary bedroom; because this large empty room feels cold. Lacks the warm feeling of a home. Lastly, not only can you hear the highway, you can see the highway. It's both a eye sore & a ear sore. Absolutely no Peace & Tranquility. It doesn't scream "Move In!" Not Welcoming at all. Because of the sheer size & volume of this Estate, I don't see this Estate ever being utilized as a Private Home. I see this Estate as a Upscale Rehabilitation Center. Or a Embassy for Foreign Dignitaries. Perhaps a Campaign Headquarters or even a Lavish Set for a movie or TV series; similar to those Reality TV Shows that are so popular these days. Also, could serve as a Recording Studio. You follow my drift. If it was marketed along those lines, it would get more traffic & interest. TRUST!

    Beautiful house but it would have been nice to have installed soundproof windows to drown out that highway noise.
  • @robcarter533
    😊 The "noise" is really not that bad! It's according to your tolerance as an individual!
  • Baby boy please slow down. That's a beautiful brand new home. Show me all of it please don't miss anything please. On ANY home you slow. Thank you to the highest baby boy. Love your voice and your channel 😍. Please slow down for me and show me Everything. Love you bunches 😘
  • My first impression is that this is a commercial space. Someone should be looking to buy this place and turn it into an inn. It’s way too large for a real family. People with this much money are not cooking in the kitchen they’re ordering in from the most expensive restaurants in town. Given the exterior noise, this place makes sense as a commercial inn.
  • @carollbrown7417
    The builders should have planted some privacy trees and a water feature to block out the traffic view and noise that would help sell the house. The laundry rooms are extremely small! They should have laid out the laundry rooms with all that space! What city and state is this house located in?
  • @debbvideo
    I absolutely love the house!!!! I think the mortgage interest rate increase may be Impeding an offer. The builder could offer a rate buy down. The traffic noise is loud however the house has the convenience of being near a major highway. The fact that the house does not have a pool and spa is a deal breaker for me. Lastly fencing or a retaining wall is needed on the side of the house where there is traffic. Someone could roll down the hill
  • @wandac3676
    The noise didnt bother me that much(if the price was right), but the mixed color bricks did. This home is absolutely beautiful and if all I had to do is paint that brick, I'd move right in!
  • I think they need to attempt to stage the house and that might help it sell. It’s a lot of wasted space IMO. They could have put an indoor pool in the basement. The street noise is definitely a factor. Where is it located? What size is the lot? School district? What are the comps?
