Walk Through on a 10,000 SqFt House For Sale ($1.2 million) with 2 Acres

- I saw this house come up for sale last week pretty close to where I live. I am not actively looking to move, but I keep my eye open as I have run out of garage space and wouldn't mind a place to store my cars or an awesome house with more garage space. This house had 2 acres, 9k square feet, a 3 car garage plus a 1,800 square detached shop! I took a look at it with the family and it was a nice house but I did not like it nearly as much as my smaller house.
The home is big but I think the space could be used much better and it needs updating. Most everything is oak, and that accounts for the listing price being $1.2 million. If the home was updated I think it would be much more expensive. I loved the garage, the giant koi point, and the patio, but not worth moving. I think it will be a very long time before we move again or find a house we like as much as the one we are in now. One day I might do a video of our house but my wife is not super thrilled with that idea.
I have toured some other pretty crazy houses as well such as the two below:
• Why Was this the Crazi...
• Potential House Flip o...
You can also see a video of the Lotus here: • Lotus Esprit V8 Review...
Call me crazy but I love the 90's aesthetic. Takes me back to my childhood. I'd buy the property "as is" in a heartbeat.
me too
my grandfather was a Broker. He was also a house flipper before it had a name!! LOL Back in the early 1960's he started by buying a house to move into and he and Grandma fixed it up room by room and then they would sell it. Each time they made money on it and then they would buy a bigger house to move into and fix up. One day Grandpa had a client who just couldn't find the right house and Grandpa showed his OWN house (which was supposedly they last house!) and the client LOVED it! HE asked Grandpa if he would sell the house... as is.. fully furnished. Grandpa laughed and said that EVERYTHING he had was for sale for the right price except Grandma, the dog, and all the kids! LOL
Nice!
Since you brought it up Mark - it’s time you did a video on your house!
one day
Yep, no need to film it all in one day! You could do clips of each room and splice them together.
He rents.
@@jaykneegarner2479 that is the plan. I did one clip lol
@@jeanlenor1858 i haven't rented since I was 21
It was cool to see this house. Love looking at homes, even the ones I know I could never afford.
You speak your reality into existence.
Wow that was a lot of oak. Not my favorite, but the landscaping outside was very nice.
I was surprised to see the basement unfinished.
I like oak, I wouldn't have a problem with any of it!
Som people do@!
It’s actually a very cheap built house. They cut major corners building it. It’s not even full brick. The cheapest windows you can buy. Super cheap closet system. A lot of work to be done. Price needs to be cut in half! 😂
I saw a movie in the 80's called "The Money Pit". Big houses should be inspected or something like that movie could be a possibility.
You can see that some of the windows already are foged up so needs windows replaced. If your building a home like this you would hope they would have used some well built fiber reinforced vinyl windows that last longer then 20 years.
Very clean. Looked great on the outside. Beautifully kept landscaping. Specifically, the kitchen was disappointing to me.
Thank you for the tour.👍🏻💜
Yes I would love to see your house !
slowly working on it
I like the outside more than the inside. For the price...not even a grand staircase?!
One day I will buy a house like this. Great video
1.2 million and so much of it looks builder grade. Smdh
Yep, the finishes all look the same as a 300k home from that time.
Send it Mark!
I really love oak wood. It's so warm and inviting 😍. The home could just use a good painting and new hardware on all the cabinetry, doors, faucets, etc. It's just so massive I would feel lost all the time. Lol, but a gorgeous property.
It’s beautiful
Liked everything a part from the master bathroom
Cheap per SF for Greely.
Blue Steel southern command post can be in the basement.
The interior is very plain. If you could pick it up for $1,050,000 and put $150,000 into modernization, you've found yourself a new home.
I can envision the golf simulator in the basement already.
haha, it is cheap per sqft. The golf simulator has a home...
Thanks for the vid. Cool to see other parts of CO houses and design. Good exhaust note too at the end.
thanks!
Nice house. Love your channel. Keep up the good work.
Thanks!
Loved the kitchen! loved the pantry! loved that patio! loved that upstairs room with windows! loved the restroom with tub.....but that basement gave me the hee bee jee bees...looks haunted
This home makes me feel like I'm in a museum.
:)
Wow, just wow!!!!!
This house is awesome!!
Interesting video. I like seeing a mix of types

6 bed 6.5 bath 6800 sq ft, in California so a more expensive market. Gated community, sold for $2.8 million
Love all the wood and the fact that it’s matching the outdated look doesn’t bother me too much I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to afford something like this but if I could I would use it being outdated to maybe try to get a better price
Yes I would love to see your house❤️
A big home like that is grate
The lotus fits in perfect with the home! I almost thought it was the Diablo! Very nice home!
Thanks!
Would love to see a tour of your home one day!
Man, I live in a condo in Chicago. These vids definitely make me consider getting up outta the city. All that space! Amazing
You have phenomenal taste in vehicles my friend. Much respect. Been following for a good year or two. The Diablo and lotus are very sweet.
Thanks!
I think the house look nice wood work is beautiful
Coming from a city where a tiny house costs a million, I do envy the Americans with their inexpensive huge houses.
The only thing about having to buy an expensive house is that it makes you feel richer, and if you are lucky you can use any capital growth to borrow funds for improvements or business purposes.
It looks like a McMansion from the outside
You should get this house Mark... Lotus looks great parked in front of it!... 😏
haha, i like mine better!
Great video Mark , I'd live in it I thought it was beautiful on the out side and alittle up gradeing it would be beautiful on the in side .
sweet house! A property like that would actually cost the same in my area. I've never seen a closet with windows before lol!
Holy oak! Ha. The first thing I would do is paint all the oak white. That is what we are doing slowly as we go in our house which was built in 1998. When we built it, oak was really in. Now it looks like it threw up oak. Ha. Cannot imagine heating and cooling this house.
lol
Bite r tongue i think it took 3 wks for 2 of us to finish base boards alone! 2-3 coats of polly sanding between each. Ud have to c to appreciate he spent 80 grand for baseboards before we even started finishing
@@rmurrs My husband hates painting over the oak, but he knows resale value will be better when we go to sell it in a few years. We had people come in and give estimates on our kitchen before we did it ourselves and that was their main comment. Too much oak. You are smart painting it all white. It actually looks better to me, but that is just my personal opinion.
My Powerball house! The possibilities for that basement are almost endless.
Man it’s nice. That’s to much to maintain for my way of thinking. Lol lol 👍👍
If your buying a $1.2m house your going to hire people to clean and keep the grounds 🤔🤔🤔💁🏽♀️💁🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
I live near Vancouver Canada and my house was appraised for the same amount. It’s a 2200 sqft 1950s style bungalow on a 55 x110 ft lot. So this house is cheap for what you get
When it was built i think the # was 1.7 n the house stood alone. I think building cheaper houses in the now subdivision brought down the value!?
I love it
WOA.... BIG HOUSE!!! I think this is just what my husband and I need.... we could walk circle and never find each other !
I do have question.... WHAT do the galvanized bands outside the windows outside do? I do not see them around here in New York State.
I would live there just for the kitchen
Very cool, always loved looking at homes. That landscaping is gorgeous.
Would *LOOOOOVE* to see your home, if your eye for design on your office is any indication, i bet its a beauty!
I bet it's much nicer than this one, lol.
Would love to see your home. This was a nice house that needs updating but good potential.
The unfinished basement is a deal-breaker.
Oak nightmare! All you need is some Nagel prints to complete to look!
Don't need a house that big,but would love the shop and garage space.Beautiful oak ,what a waste it would be to paint it.
I would just stain it dark.
If you ever find some time I would say please do a home tour!!
The two toilets in the master killed me 🤣😂.
well who wants to wait?
Offer $950k! You need that shop! Just needs cosmetic updates! SO much potential!
haha, I don't like the layout enough in the house
Mark Ferguson - InvestFourMore Hey Mark you going to the watts house auction when it comes up ?
Fiberglass tubs and vinyl flooring?!?! For a house like that you would think they would use ceramic tile for the floors and walls around the tub, and have the tub be cast iron! But nope, guess not.
I would buy that. Good video! Here in Los Angeles, the avg. home is more than 1 million, and that will get you 2 bedrooms and 1000 sq. ft. 1 sq feet is $1,000. So this house at 10,000 sq ft would cost $10,000,000 at the VERY least. And depending on the location, say south bay or west los angeles, it would become $15,000,000 to $20,000,000.
I think i helped build this house n shop. It was for a little old man n his wife. He retired from HP in fort collins. Rumor has it he had a wing at HP named after him. U may have seen him back then sitting alog side of the highway selling hay!? I think 1.7 mil is what it cost to build back then!? I was told 80 grand for wd wrk n that was mainly base boards thru out because of width n design of milling. Pollied sanded n finished every piece so believe me theirs alot!! The only thing i thought was wonky about this house was using vinyl siding!? Other than that this house is very well built!! Last time i saw it it stood alone in a field with nothing else around. Sad memory was the house was vandalized before he even moved in
Thanks for the info!
Baths and kitchens used to be fine for 30+ yrs...now they’re frowned on by 10 and for sure outdated by 20.
I love the house! The shop is bigger than my old house lol mine now is 3200 square ft I’d like a few more bedrooms we have 4 now and we have 3 bathrooms and 3 sitting rooms plus furnished back porch.
The wood stained baseboards make the rooms look smaller and cheap looking.
Nice pond, but I would be terrified with little ones drowning!
we put a fence around our pond
Mark Ferguson - InvestFourMore That’s good!
Nice house- lotsa rooms, but no murder room? Liked the "shed", and a back yard that another shed could easily be added to!
That was fun to see. Maybe I'm a house snob too because I had to agree with everything you said about it. Great architecture but it needs a lot to get it up to modem times. Although I can't afford it. But if I could I don't think I would want to buy it.
yes, outside was much cooler at least the front.
The house looks gorgeous I wish I could afford it but I think too the utility bills would drown you alone lol
I know this sounds harsh, but there is absolutely NOTHING nice about this house. It's drab and unimaginative. It doesn't even have any molding. And all that oak is just ridiculous. This is what people think of when they think 'McMansion.' The only nice thing is the 2 acre yard.
True, but I think it was probably nice in its day.
For that price, most people would just build there own house. Like he said, someone would really have to like it.
It would cost a lot more to build something that big now.
TheMoonGoddess11 I could live with the oak. Updating other paint would do a lot. But the builder grade cabinets and stuff in everything else is a crying shame on a house that pricey.
TheMoonGoddess11
Toll Bros had a book of options for their McMansions. Rather than choose better windows, roofing, or insulation, most buyers opted for crown moldings, waistcoating, port cocheres, faux beams, shutters, and other decorative doodads.
Mark Ferguson, car guy. Who knew.
I only have 9 lol
It really looks like everyones house in 1994 just bigger. I think it'll be hard selling that for 1.2mil.
Two toilets in the master? Sold! LOL
2:40 toilet with armrest, now that's luxury.
I am fine with the oak as I don't mind it and it will likely come back around again. My take is the house is 3 bedrooms with a home theater room over the garage (note the in-wall speakers and subwoofer installed) so the 2 bathrooms is okay for upstairs although a half bath would have been nice. I did not see a half bath in the basement. Finishing the basement, at least partial, would make that an amazing house.
The garage, shop, and land are a win-win. 2 master toilets, when does the husband and wife take a shit at the same time?
When you grow up with nothing I don't mind it works for me
Not a fan of koi ponds. A swimming pool would be much better. Not that well layed out in my opinion. Yeah, think I'm a house snob too. Might help if floors were stained a bit darker. You are great for showing us so much variety. Beautiful grounds and looks great from the outside.
Thanks!
The outside is gorgeous but the inside really surprised me, particularly the bathrooms. For a house that fancy, the bathrooms are subpar. I mean $150 pedestal sinks from Home Depot? Also the unfinished basement was pretty surprising
Needs to be full brick to command 1.2 million
l
its beautiful
Its beautiful. I woukd take it
It looks great outside and the gardens are beautiful but inside it reminds me of a 1990's McMansion. Very bland but, as you said, maybe if the buyer slowly fixes it up they could capitalise on it.
The upstairs media room separated from the wet bar at the opposite end was odd.
1.2 million ? I’m underwhelmed ! Looks like it has never been updated , plain old bathrooms etc ....
But I loved the gardens ....
How do you appraise a home if there are no comparables??
It is tough, go back in time or to other towns
Thanks for video Mark ! Its unbelievable that one couple or moreover one man could have house like this, it looks like it's been able to accommodate an entire football team + coach. To be serious all of those houses leaving an impression of something temporary and unorganized, which is in my opinion absolutely not suitable for house which costs 1+ mil. And the project wasn't deeply worked on - too much walking, huge distances, many rooms without obvious purpose. And small garage. 1+ mil made out of wood and shingles... Ugh, it has to be made out of brick or concrete at least to be substantial and long lasting investment. Just saying.
How much to hear that house in Colorado? Good price 👍
It's definitely not bad....but there's something about it that's not good either and I can't put my finger on what that is. I just had a very 'meh' feeling about the house as you were walking through it; nothing seemed exciting. I normally dislike it when houses are staged, but this is the first one that I think would really benefit from staging. Just seemed very 'blah', but, overall, a really nice house.
You probably mentioned this but I most likely missed it.
With a house this size and with its asking price you would think the finishes would be more high-end and the basement would have been done.
Well if that was all done it would be much more expensive
@@investfourmore even in your current market??
It needs a double front door for starters. I'd re do the bathrooms and kitchen for sure..
Your home must be amazing...
Looks like a giant version of my grandma's house. In Texas this would be at least 105k to bring up to date and make it look nice (I'm probably under estimating by a lo)
“A giant version of my grandma’s house” L0L
Funny u would say that this house was built for 2 retired ppl
I take this home me , my sister, her second husband, her daughter by my niece by my late brother in law, my niece son , my nieces boyfriend plus my sister son by my late brother in law all live in a house that has four bedrooms one. bathroom, one kitchen no dining room a eat in kitchen and one living room our washer and dryer are in the kitchen
Maybe LosAngeles could subsidies the home owner if homeless are allowed to live there ... as long as they are willing to take a check that can't be cashed for a year or two?
Mark , raised 4 kids, and you families don't need a house this big, cost a fortune in utilities heating and cooling and you really need to know what your kids are doing , even when they are older and you loose them in houses this big. By the way most home magazines and design mags you are seeing white walls again. I'm not a oak fan but nice home, lots of work to keep this yard up and it would cost a fortune to hire it out, and that big you would need a lawn tractor
I hate white walls lol
@@investfourmore I know you do, I like them, "I seak the light". LOL 😎, I completely hate grey, and when I was looking at homes , if it was painted grey thru the whole house, I wrote it off as today it cost between 4 and 6 grand to repaint the inside of your house, depending on the size. So just don't paint your flips grey inside, everything in homefurniture has grey on it's way out.
That house is so tiny for 9,000 sqft. I give it 5,000sqft MAX and that's being generous. It seems like a house in the mid 4,000 sqft range. It defiantly doesn't seem like a mansion even though the square footage is over the mansion benchmark
His camera does nothing to show the sheer size! Ud have to walk thru it to appreciate the size. It is that big!
It’s a standard contractor grade built home, then again custom homes are definitely more costly. What shape is the roof in and the gutters? Do they drain correctly? Especially with snow loads. A lot of roof and angles which leaves potential for leaks if not done correctly. Those are things people don’t look at, they look at the aesthetics. I’m not a fan of oak either. Thanks for the showing!
thank you!
I always say.....if I can truly afford to buy a house in this square footage and this price range........paying for utilities, insurance, taxes, landscaping crew should not be a concern.......just saying......
Brenda Johnson exactly
The house is really big, but you are right need more bathrooms upstairs and finish out the basement, But all in all it's a lovely place,
Is the unfinished basement actually being counted towards total square footage in the MLS? An unfinished basement is worth substantially less than a finished basement and should not be counted as finished space on the listing. It's like when someone counts a garage towards square footage even though it is worth less than finished space. It's not a good practice. On the other hand, it is an excellent negotiating point for the buyer.
yes it counts but not as finished. In Colorado basements are counted in total square footage
My house in the SF bay area is a 1/4 of this house (square footage and lot) but the same price. LOL
I guess it's OK for an original builder-owner to look big and grand from the outside but can live with the cheap undergrade trim and fixtures on the inside, but could always be upgraded by someone, and that Big Basement is so fine and has great potential for finishing!... 😀 But real nice house (as is) anyway Mark... 👍 🙂
Ha, you just described 1998. All houses of that era pretty much look like that on the inside. 1995 and you have the funky colored carpets like maroon and emerald green, teal.
Yes, it was very 1999
@@mph5896 Well Wow... Then hats off to the 21st Century!... 😃🎩🎩
Big house but it’s small doors
true!
How much to fully renovate a home this big? Needs alot of work, probably 300k
I live in a 1968 house which we are making modern
lol
I'm thinking it's the land that has moire value than the house itself, despite it's size.I just looked at a listing for fun for a mansion for sale here in St.Paul built in 1884 that puts this house to shame.
That would be cool to see
