This is the Mark Dillon estate. Mr. ESI himself.

low key, all that ornate faux tuscan interior design (and some of the exterior) is kinda trash. gives McMansion vibes for 12M.

Not sour grapes, if I had that money I'd buy differently, even at the expense of sq/ft or land.

It definitely has the "buy the most expensive thing at home depot" vibe.

I saw somebody post that something happened when constructing this house but wouldn't say what happened.

I never understood the resale value on these houses. If I’m spending $12 million on a house I want it to be spec’s out to my exact liking. From the toilets to the bowling alley and fish tank.

I don’t want to buy someone else’s taste.

The last time this house was posted, IIRC, Michael Jordan's house was brought up for this reason.

Imagine having that much money and THAT is what you choose to build with it.

That family is like the Royal Gemstones of Ascension Parish without the church. If it doesn't sell, it may end up with a car on blocks out front before it's all said and done.

I had heard he hung himself in the foyer, but a contractor absolutely wanted to haunt that motherfricker.
