My eyes my eyes! The outside screams McMansion while the inside…well, it makes me want to scream. It’s a decorating disaster from the gilded paneling to the Spirograph ceiling in the foyer.
I like the idea of having a large garage for a car collection, but even there the owner and I have totally different taste in vehicles. No offense to anyone on this site who likes the “town street”/indoor mall concept in a house, but I believe there is a special place in interior design hell for people who build these into their houses.
Ha! Your read my mind! I was thinking OMG 24,000 auto barn is brilliant! Then I saw a bunch of 70′s Camaro’s, Mustang’s and Chevelle’s.
My auto museum would be just that….a museum. Bentley, Ferrari, Aston Martin, Lamborghini, Duesenberg, Bugatti, Jaguar, Koenigsegg, Pagani…you get the picture. True works of art…sprinkled in with a Corvette and a Ford GT or two.
THANK YOU! My museum would include cars that are works of art, not just old cars that had been restored. A classic Bugatti paired with a Veyron, an Isotta-Fraschini or two…
How many souls do you think I would need to murder to get all six…or is it seven…Royale’s in my possession? Hmm. Or a gorgeous Ferrari 250 GT California. Or a 250 GTO!
Or one of my favorites (Top 10 classics at least), the Bucciali. STUNNING!

Grrrowler, if you are ever is S. Florida, we need to have lunch.
I love that Bucciali. There is one at the Blackhawk collection in northern CA that’s amazing: http://www.remarkablecars.com/main/bucciali/1930-bucciali-1b.jpg. Saoutchik was a genius. If you’re ever in east bay SF, it’s worth a day to stop by the museum and see more of the amazing cars, like a 1940′s Delahaye, a Talbot Lago, a spruce-bodied Hispano Suiza (I think), at least one Delage, and a 1926 Daimler built for an Indian Maharaja with a sterling silver body.
I’m down for lunch if we’re ever on the same coast!
Oh wow. Well, let me start with what I LOVE:
1) Exterior front facade and driveway. Very very nice, love the color combos and the front door.
2) That auto “barn” is a dream come true. Maybe not architecturally, but the entire concept of a 24,000 square-foot car museum on my property is something my dream home would certainly have. Not a fan of the school gym interior and roof, but like I said, the concept and actual execution of it earns an A.
3) The concept of an indoor pool with a glass atrium. Not a fan of the way it is presented much like the auto barn, but still like the concept.
Now, for what I don’t like:
EVERYTHING ELSE. God, that interior screams cheap! The What is up with these huge two-story lofty airy living rooms? If you’re going to do that, PLEASE add some details to bring it to a more human scale. Every room has cheap details (columns from Home Depot, murals painted by a first grader), cheap furniture, cheap everything. HIDEOUS kitchen with those smoke-yellow cabinets and that attempt at a groin-vault ceiling. Location in the middle of nowhere, Napa Valley my ass. And the back of the house….SO barren.
Other than the things I mentioned, this house is a mess. An overpriced mess…
It should be named Villa de Mierda instead.
No home in CA should have an indoor pool without an outdoor one.
Such harsh criticism! I love some of the old Detroit iron…classic indeed! I’d probably add a few old Cadillacs and a couple 60s vintage Lincolns with suicide doors. Regarding the house, if I can afford the $22m, then I can certainly have an interior designer come in to decorate the place to my taste. If I need to do a gut remodel, no problem, as I should have the available cash to do this as well. I absolutely love the idea of the 24,000 square foot garage! Perhaps my main street would look more like a backdrop in the south of France, or perhaps Monte Carlo. Also, not sure that I would want to limit myself to just and indoor pool…let’s build one outdoors as well! At the point I tired of my project, I’d put it on the market, and you know what? The same complaints would come pouring in! But I won’t care, because I did it my way!
Ciao
