That's really not a bad price

How much would (roughly) 30 high-quality 2000-square-foot houses cost?

Let’s say 250,000.

Then 30 * 250,000 = 7.5 million

54,000 square feet

So needlessly excessive

I don’t care how rich you are, you don’t need a house that gigantic

Bet there is rooms they never even use.

12 fireplaces… for those notoriously frigid and unforgiving winters of Birmingham

Need has nothing to do with it. It's an imposition.

Akin to the castles of old. It's built to make a statement.

The smart money would be to bulldoze it and develop a small exclusive subdivision in its place.

The guitar shaped driveway is a classy touch.

If it comes furnished then just open a ready-made really high end wedding venue

How much can you make renting a home for a reality show?

There does appear to be a cookie cutter neighborhood a stones throw from the back porch.

I’d get it but I’m actually looking for a banjo shaped driveway.

That is $86 a square. That alone is a HUGE red flag.

That is actually a crazy good deal. A builder trade spec house costs about $175 per square foot to build these days. That house would probably cost $500-600 per square foot new with the ultra high end finishes and huge ceilings
