This is a view (not a very good one) of the massive 32,000 square foot, $52 million mega-mansion being built by Richard Kurtz. I first visited this home during the first month of construction. I toured the inside and it was absolutely huge! I would love to see the inside of the home now that it is almost finshed. The mansion has a large brick wall surrounding the property and is located off of Closter Dock Road. This is what my perfect dream home would like.

I did a post on this home before. It was on the market for a little over $16 million, but doesn’t seem to be anymore.

I did a post on this home that was titled “Timeless Beauty”. The home sold for $25 million and contains a home theater and bowling alley.

This massive home is being built on Rio Vista Drive. It is owned by Avi Tahari whose brother Elie Tahari co-created the Theory fashion brand. The home contains 15,000 square feet of living space on the 1st and 2nd floors and additional square footage in the lower level. Avi bought the home for $4.2 million after it had been sitting unfinished for years. Avi is putting millions more into it. The home was built by Roundhill Construction of Connecticut.

This is the 2nd open house we went to.

Today, I went with my mom and sister to Alpine, NJ. We went to 2 open houses. The first one was listed at $5,900,000 and the second at $5,850,000. They both had a little over 10,000 square feet. The 2nd open house was located in the prestigious Rio Vista section of Alpine that contains a 60,000 square foot mega-mansion as well as Wesley Snipes’ house. We then drove up and down the streets in Alpine and took pictures of the amazing homes being built.

This 45,760 square foot mega-mansion will be the largest “green plantation” in the United States upon completion. The home is being built on North Hutchinson Island in Vero Beach, FL. The house will contain the 1st roof mounted wind turbines in the U.S , it will be a 100% renewable energy plantation, and it will have a 200+ mile per hour wind rating. The home is owned by Athena Marie Barton, a television host/producer/director and her mother Mary. The mansion will have a home theater, an attached carriage house, an 8,000 square foot west wing, an elevator, a 10-car garage, a rooftop pool, a 6,000 square foot third floor master suite, a library, and numerous other features.

Lennon Ledbetter is currently involved in Quixtar, a multi-level marketing company and is the founder of Teambuilders, in which he helps to motivate people and help strive for success. I guess that all that hard work payed off and now he is living the dream! The home belonged to noted attorney Keith Barton. Keith had put it on the market for a cool $14.9 million. There were no interested buyers and so the home went into foreclosure. The bank later auctioned off the house and it sold to Lennon for the paltry price of $7 million, considering that the home’s value hovers around the $20 million mark. The magnificent and stately mansion, especially by Utah standards, comes complete with exquisite craftsmanship and a grand spacious floorplan. The 7 bedroom, 13 bathroom home contains a grand foyer with curved staircase, numerous chandeliers throughout, a music room, a massive 2-story great room with floor to ceiling windows, a grand ballroom, dining room with gold leaf trim, gourmet kitchen with separate catering kitchen and pantry, family room, 2-story library with spiral staircase, a barber shop, a lounge, an ice cream parlor, a home theater, and a swimming pool.
