If I won the lottery I would do something similar, only not as extravagant.  but not here in NY .,

Ok, let’s get a group together to buy it.   I will contribute by doing closing for free.

My wife and I had seriously conversations around purchasing this property but in the end decided it was one bathroom short of our needs.

Neat but way to big for me . If I cleared tens of  millions off the lotto ,I’d buy a summer place on the West side of Canandaigua Lake, near the North end. 3,000 square feet would be plenty , I’d have it hardened with the best doors, security windows,  alarms , lights, cameras . 

Then our main residence would be most likely in Tennessee, on a lake , maybe build next to the one my Nephew just built , again security and privacy top priority. No more then 5,000 square .

We have relatives with large homes 4,500 or so seems nice,  the one with the 12,000 SF house seems a bit much ,  I do wish he didn’t remove to indoor batting cage from  the basement though .

I just saw pic of a buck inside their fence last night from a guy that owns next to it. It was huge. I would guess it was a main frame 12 point that looked to score about 180 or so.

I was there a couple of times doing some electro-shocking in the lakes and had a tour. The lodge is huge and something out of a magazine. They have beautiful floating cottages (beds, table, chairs, couch, you name it!) that they tow out in various places in the lake before it freezes, so they have them in place for when the lakes do freeze. There's trap doors in the floors, so when they want to fish, they just open the floor doors and drop a line down! You can ice fish from a couch or recliner! LOL The entire place is unbelievable to say the least, especially knowing that's it's so close! I've driven by there several times and have seen huge elk, big bucks, wild boar, etc... near the fence. Someone shot one of his huge bulls through the fence a few years ago. I wonder who's gonna be able to cough up $65M for that?

[Jeremy K]

It's just become too time consuming so I'm looking dump it and get something else. 

[GreeneHunter]

I will fill the Forest Gump job !

[Lawdwaz]

A friend's nephew married into the family.  I've seen pics and heard stories that are just UNREAL....................good for them, the American Dream.

Interesting, Lou Izzo was my wife's boss for a lot of years. Maybe I can get him to cut the commission for a forum member, it's a steal at $64MM!

[Fletch]

I wonder what it costs just to maintain it for a year. Staff, taxes, utilities, upkeep......

5 mil?

Why pay $65M when you get a fixer upper for half the price? I bet the NYS archery Typical record breaker is on these 64 acres

Someone selling because of high taxes .

Probably moving out of state to avoid them.

No, no , no . Cuomo said It’s because of the weather remember.. 

[moog5050]

Geeze - you not only drove stormy off the site but out of the state.  You all suck!

[Otto]

It’s owned by the Congel family, they own Destiny USA and several other malls in NYS.  Bob, the founder, has been sick for quite a time, and the sons are not as interested in it.  Great people that have worked hard all their lives, however, you will get differing opinions on the methods they used along the way.   They do use it for corporate retreats and meetings quite often.  I would think some University or Fortune 500 company will buy it for that purpose.  Unlikely that an individual will step in, but you never know.   I’ve seen pictures of some of the fenced in elk and deer taken.

4,500 isn't a large home at least not IMHO. I'd say it's a comfortable sized home. Now 6k-10 is getting massive

I think 4500 is big. My house is under 2Ksqft and is “comfortable”. 4500sqft homes are big and usually have 5BR and 4BR, etc. and $50K+ taxes in Westchester

Idk I personally cannot wait to get back into a 4500+ square foot house. It's nice and spacious. Also try 20k+ depending where you are

I agree.  My ranch is just under 2000sf and fine for my family.  I have never wanted a bigger home as it just means more up keep and taxes.  I prefer to blow that money on stupid stuff like hunting land and thermals.  lol  I hate paying taxes - I already pay way too much.  Plus no need to downsize if/when the kids move out.

In Dutchess maybe.

My taxes are $15K for 1900sqft. Any decent school district in Westchester and the taxes on a 4500sqft house will be astronomical.
