Richard Garriott's Crazy Awesome Mansion Up For Sale

[csoloist]

Ugh, that's one awful house - with some neat stuff, don't get me wrong. Garriot apparently has no taste whatsoever.

 

[Sabrehawk]

Does the price include the dead guy in the basement? Or is he also moving?

(Seriously ... he has his own dead guy, complete with coffin, in the basement.)

[Secret world leader (shhh)]

As much as I love secret passages...Texas.

And the fact that I could never in my wildest dreams afford this house.

And honestly it isn't that easy on the eye.

But don't let that distract you from the Texas.

 

[putowtin]

wow that's one ugly house!

 

[ThunderCavalier]

I wonder if he uses half the stuff in that mansion.

I can't help but laugh every time Lord British appears in headlines, thanks to Doomsday Arcade.
Six words: "Lord British is going to Space!"

 

[Techno Squidgy]

I get this funny feeling that Garriott is not only rich, but mildly insane.

That would be the bit of British blood flowing in his veins. His father may be American, and he may have been raised in America but all it takes is that little bit of British blood born on British soil and you have the potential for a full blown loony.

OFF-THE-GRID? That's awesome. I want this.

 

[Frasman]

Still costs less than a house in Vancouver, so new mansion, here I come!

Upscale downtown condo's [http://www.6717000.com/mls/V868086-5902-1128-w-georgia-st.html] cost more in vancouver.

For example you could live in the the Erickson [http://www.6717000.com/mls/V897223-3009-1011-w-cordova-st.html] for more, none of which are penthouses.

 

[Zhadramekel]

Please don't tell me the place really is called Chez Richard.

 

[cefm]

$60k/year in property taxes alone, for a property that 0.0001% of the population has the money and desire to purchase? Good job there, Richard.

God I want that house. It has a SPIRAL WATERSLIDE for heaven's sake!

That's what I thought !

 

[NoseDigger]

Impressive house, even though it's hideous on the inside. Each to their own.
