Mother of God. That’s a beautiful home. I wonder why they are selling.

Call me a hater but if I had that kind of money my house would look nothing like that. They really put a massive aquarium in their bedroom

What’s the buyers market look like for a $12 million 13k sq ft home in Baton Rouge? Maybe 20 people?

Indeed. And I would do so many more interesting, helpful, useful, industrious things with that money. I truly don’t get it.

If its the original owner, they lost their arse. The pool and aquarium alone had to be pushing ~$1M

I'm curious to know if I posted in this thread in 2015, but I'm not reading 10 pages to find out

It’s wild to have a 13,000 sq ft house with only 5 bedrooms.

I live in the area and have wondered what it looks like. The house is not my style at all (how does one even dream up that many layers of ornate bullshite?), but the pool cave is kinda fun. Paying that electric bill every month would make me so mad.

I wonder what’s going on in this guy’s life, that he builds such a huge estate, which obviously suits a specialty tastes, which very few folks in BR can afford, to decide to sell?

Anyone know?

I’m sure a couple of OT ballers can write a check for it -

It's, by far, the largest I've seen in BTR


There are some absolutely huge houses in BTR that aren’t visible from public roadways or their size isn’t determinable from public roadways.

Doubt 14,000 sq ft is the biggest.

I didn't even make it that far, the brown and white bricks on the outer walls are hideous. There's a lot that is very nice about that place (that pool is straight up baller), but the choice in brick color isn't one (and neither is that big-assed bedroom aquarium).
