- I’m sure you’ve all heard the saying that life is too short. Sometimes I think that we get older that it’s still not enough time to enjoy all of what the world has to offer. For the family of this marvelous mansion life would be stopped completely after a tragic plane crash. When I say life would be stopped completely I’m not just talking about the ones involved but also the loved ones left behind.
Situated in a neighborhood full of extravagant homes sits a 90% finished 30,000 square foot estate that was abandoned in 2016. The original man that had this home built was a surgeon who owned several practices throughout surrounding states. After all of his hard work to build his family’s wealth he wanted his wife and children to live in their dream home. Construction started in 2006 for this $10,500,000 home with 10 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms. But only a couple years later tragedy would take place. The man was a licensed single engine pilot and he and his 15 year old son went out flying one day only to never return. They had crashed into a mountain instantly killing the man and his son. The wife was left with her 3 other children and was forced to sell home. Afterwards it was purchased by a foreigner who lived in it until 2015 when he moved back to his native country and the taxes stopped getting paid. Ever since the grand mansion has sat abandoned with everything left behind including 3 cars. So join me today and let’s see what’s left.

This is how we leave life, we take nothing. This should serve as a reminder to all no matter where in society you place yourself, your profession, we all leave empty handed. This is just a building with items in, the power of a home and family are incredible. Regardless, we all leave everything behind somewhere on this earth in the end.
It’s so bizarre to me how things just get abandoned like that. Heirlooms, a car.. let alone the entire home. It’s just so eerie to me to think that there was once life in this home. Laughter, tears, voices. And now it’s just.. a homeless home.
so what at least someone it’s enjoying it these people are rich as fuck that leaving this house don’t cost them nothing because they have so much if i was rich knowing i have so much money im not even have the lifetime to waste all the money i will share it and give it to others that are in need
@@Deangelo-izanthe family couldn’t afford it anymore, that’s exactly why they left. No one else bought it, it’s now a waste of resources and a beautiful home was left to rot. It could have been turned into a homeless shelter or something along the lines of that
@@bdawg1118my question is why hasn’t anyone bought it? At a certain point of no one buying it wouldn’t they just lower the asking price instead of just letting it sit? It always blows my mind how these beautiful homes just sit and no one wants them? That’s crazy I’d live in all of these house I’d buy them as is! The bones are great and that’s what matters
The owner died in another country
@@keishajohnson6235 Yes if I remember correctly, the husband is the one who died. The wife couldn’t keep up with the cost of the home so she had to abandon it
Gosh, just sitting here thinking I hope his wife and kids never see this. How heartbreaking 💔 and finding this online would be devastating for them. Usually when you see abandoned places, they are fairly old and the occupants have passed on. ☹️
I would not want to live in a house this large, it is just too much. Just insane to think that owning this wealthy people think these are the things that make them happy. The story is very sad.
A reminder that EVERYONE will leave EVERYTHING behind.
Don't store up treasure on earth.
@user-zs6fh2ul1q lmfao so dont buy nice things for yourself? where do you store your treasure?
This comment deserves more credit
The saying is:
“When u die, there is no UHAUL following ur hearse”
Now that is brilliant!
That’s why you gotta make the most of it
People are oddly sadder about a house and material items than the family. The house means nothing. You can't take it with you. Love is All That Matters.
Family is everything.
Yes it's a tragedy but what should we really do about it? cry forever and let a massive home rot that could be used for other purposes?
the best comment I read since UA-cam
You can’t take it with you. You can’t even take yourself with you.
depends on the family
Family was clearly materialistic and wasted thousands on name brand crap. Sad, but true.
So sad what happened to the man and his son, the wife lost her husband, the children lost their dad,then their home was also lost… no matter what material things are left behind it’s nothing compared to losing a love one 🙏🏽 😢
"The surgeon moved into the home with his family while it was under construction, but just six months later he and his 15-year-old son were killed in a plane crash, according to the urban explorer.
He left behind a wife and three other children, but the surgeon had not been paying the premiums on his life insurance and thus all financial support was removed from her.
At that time there was still $9,892,600 owed on the mansion and the mortgage was nearly $62,000 a month. Within three months the bank seized the property, it was 90 per cent finished and has been left to the elements since.
---The Daily Mail
What an idiot!!!
The house was resold to a foreign couple who got in trouble with the government they fled the country very quickly and left everything even the vehicles.
Crazy! Does it still belong to the people, who fled the country? I wish someone, could buy it, and restore it to its full glory. ❤
So what happens to house now. And is everything donated that still left behind.? Like all the shoes and things if not rotted from just hanging in closets. Who cleans the house out before selling it. Just curious. COULD NEVER IN A LIFETIME afford place like this
Danke ♡ ((
Nice to see this hasn’t been destroyed by jerks. This house is INCREDIBLE! The woodwork, ceilings, chandeliers, kitchen…. I hope someone buys it and gives it life again ❤
You know if someone left this much behind something really tragic happened. Put yourself there. Happy. Building a castle of a home. Living the dream and then suddenly.....it all comes to a halt . Someone disappears or dies and the sadness...wow. So overwhelming...one day for your own sanity and mental /emotional/physical health you just walk away.
To anyone living who lived in this house and had to save yourself , I hope you are doing well and not so haunted by the weight of this loss.
To the dreamer(s) who passed away, be kind to anyone new who tried to save your beautiful masterpiece of a home. R.i.p. ...if you do haunt a little...scare the crap out of them!
Lol that's about to change....😆
@@ilyakhaimov38 really? How ?
yep she probably so heart broken she doesn't even want to live let alone look after the home built for her family@@robertg7789
Bruh there's poo in the sink
The way you talk about this house. And the people who lived here. Such dignity and grace.
How do you know?? Many of these people are frauds, spoiled entitled, disrespectful, rude, arrogant, shallow, and "I am superior" nasty to others. "Let me impress others with superficial things", so I can make myself feel great. My idea of dignity and grace differs from yours, probably by a significant margin. In my view, just owning an overtly big expensive home and owning many superficially expensive and overtly excessive things to impress others, doesn't automatically make someone dignified and graceful. In my view dignity and grace is earned by the character of ones life and the respect earned based on how they positively impact others.
Well said
@@goliac492dignity n grace to the UA-camr nt the owner of the mansion 😂
@@goliac492😂 calm down. the comment was about the person who posted the video. How did you not get that?
@MrsQ22 what was dignity and graceful about it? I think we misconceptualize the meaning of dignity and graceful. He sounded like every individual exploring abandoned mansions. Or at least my meaning means or is determined by much more. No disrespect. And yes I am chill by nature. Takes a lot to get me overtly excited enough to call someone or some family graceful or dignified.
King Salomon said: “everything is pure vanity.
Vanity of vanities… “ sad… to sad to see all this abandoned.
All is vanity and a chasing after the wind. From Ecclesiastes 2, King Solomon wrote:
"I undertook great projects: I built houses for myself and planted vineyards. I made gardens and parks and planted all kinds of fruit trees in them. I made reservoirs to water groves and flourishing trees... I amassed silver and gold for myself, and the treasure of kings and provinces.
I denied myself nothing my eyes desired;
I refused my heart no pleasure.
My heart took delight in all my labor,
and this was the reward for all my toil.
Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done
and what I had toiled to achieve,
everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind;
nothing was gained under the sun.
Then I said to myself,
“The fate of the fool will overtake me also.
What then do I gain by being wise?”
I said to myself,
“This too is meaningless.”
For the wise, like the fool, will not be long remembered;
the days have already come when both have been forgotten.
Like the fool, the wise too must die!
So I hated life, because the work that is done under the sun was grievous to me. All of it is meaningless, a chasing after the wind. I hated all the things I had toiled for under the sun, because I must leave them to the one who comes after me. And who knows whether that person will be wise or foolish? Yet they will have control over all the fruit of my toil into which I have poured my effort and skill under the sun. This too is meaningless.
So my heart began to despair over all my toilsome labor under the sun. For a person may labor with wisdom, knowledge and skill, and then they must leave all they own to another who has not toiled for it. This too is meaningless and a great misfortune. What do people get for all the toil and anxious striving with which they labor under the sun?
Now all has been heard;
here is the conclusion of the matter:
Fear God and keep his commandments,
for this is the duty of all mankind.
For God will bring every deed into judgment,
including every hidden thing,
whether it is good or evil."
Thanks for elaborating on the history of the home, its former owners, site, location, etc. You are amazing on the tour of a dilapidated mansion.
I lost my husband almost three years ago now. I had to leave our home as I could not afford it alone. It was gut wrenching. I can understand how they would just run from this house. She lost her son too. I cannot imagine how horrifying it was.
I am looking at losing my home too. My beautiful husband died and I just can’t afford it on my own.
I’m really sad about it too. Another death.
I wish you well. 😊
@@elizabethdevries8028 I am so very sorry. It is the worst pain there can be. May memories comfort you as you move forward. It's so very hard. Take good care
thank you so much. I sure hope that you will be well and please take care.@@sallysimpson7
God bless you both and I hope he gives you strength😞 and I totally agree.. having faced loosing the best person in my life, I can totally see how someone/the rest of the family can leave and never come back, let alone try to sell the place.. when your hit with that you realise nothing else matters no matter how much money is involved 😢. Wish you ladies all the best 💙
its easy to run from a home you dont own especially if its mortgaged and Banks hunt u down like Sharks must been alot on her shoulders to deal with if she wasnt the one handling the finances plus the death of her child and husband
At one time, I lived this lifestyle. Nothing in it ever appealed to me. It's really true that money can't buy happiness. People I knew, who had "everything", including fame, were not happy. The real things in life are family, friends, giving time to people in need. That's happiness.
Money absolutely can buy happiness, it cant buy LOVE though, whether that be from a relationship or from family and friends thats the one thing money cant buy, and if your happiness in life primarily comes from being loved by others then yea it won't be able to buy you that. But pretentious people trying to tell others that "money cant buy happiness" is just plain wrong and ignorant of how 99% of the human population lives and goes through.
@@jamfd3s788 yea that’s true to an extent, money first and foremost buys you comfort. And for me at least that makes me happy, that and spending time with my loved ones. But true happiness comes from within and nothing monetary is gonna change that, it just helps make it easier.
@@jamfd3s788 I can really only speak of myself and my experience. I am happy with my life and family. Money cant buy me the things that make me happy but it can take my stress away and help me live more worry free.
For instance, I have a special needs child who will need care for the rest of his life. I cant die. I worry constantly about who will care for him when I die. If I had money I would be able to buy a plan and die peacefully
If it only costs money, it's cheap.
This lifestyle is way beyond my comprehension!!! Lol Sad talking to a coworker just today that about $2000 right now would put me in a much more relaxed position with having my minimal life’s bills spot on enough to feel secure!!!
Seeing this place makes what would set me financially pretty pathetic .
I just keep thinking as he goes through what a beautiful life they would have had .
First off, you did an amazing job on this video! The detail you went into, showing us everything you did was so amazing! My wife and I watched this and there were several instances we gasped aloud at the beauty and opulence of what we were seeing. It is beyond confounding how all this beauty and opulence can just be left behind to rot. How does this happen? For real, thank you for making this video. Seriously awesome job!
What a beautiful home! You can definitely see the love, care, and attention the original builder/designer put into it. Its bizarre how much was left behind! Not sure why, would love to know! Great video, you definitely show respect for the space.

That’s the link to the 1st owners story regarding the house
I don’t know to much myself but I’m pretty sure the dad took care of the family he and his son passed in a plane crush so the wife and other kids. Left and the foreigner I’m assume he’s just rich and really don’t care
It is still such a beautuful house, it is very sad. So much waste. The plywood alone is worth a fortune. I grew up in a single wide trailor in a trailor park, my dad was a logger. He was always hard working, very physical work. He kept a roof over our head, food in our belly and retired at 73...had two strokes 3 yrs ago and has lived scraping by. I dont get it, so much stuff, wasted and my parents have nothing but 60 years of love, 3 kids, 8 grandkids and 3 great grandkids and The good Lord. Cant keep up with the Jones. Lol Great find, thanks for sharing.
No you did have a lot you had love that’s all that matters but I do feel same as you about things I wish everyone could be wealthy and have the finer things I. Life . I’m not rich because if I were I’d give it away I’m just like that
I love your story.
Even though you grew up poor with some struggles, your Dad worked hard to keep y’all fed.
And the keyword to your beautiful story is: "LOVE.”
The Love you received out weighs living in a mansion.
Howeve the story bout the mansion love had a different meaning.
All the materials like the stair rails,marble,quartz&granite,cabinetry,shelving,mirrors,tubs,toilets,sinks znd even pipes and wiring could be repurposed.
Don’t let that house fool you, there’s probably more sin in 1 bedroom than we can imagine.
He had strokes from the vaccine
When I watch these videos I can't help but to imagine how it was when the houses were being lived in w the kids running around playing and the mother cooking in the kitchen w the smell of good food in the air while the pets are chillin out, tvs are on w their favorite shows playing, the noises and smells. And now abandoned w no noises, kids playing, mom in the kitchen cooking, no pets chillin. It's super sad to me. Especially knowing that an awful tragedy has happened w this family and home. It blows my mind watching these videos, but it is so cool to see. I absolutely love what you guys do. Keep it up..
the doctor may have had enough & unfortunately took his son with him.. might've gotten to be tooooo much
i don't think this rich people are so into"home"atmosphere,cooking and stuff,..more like partying and having lots of people invited..
This is one of several explores I have seen of this specific mansion and by far the best explore of this home I have seen! Very well done. Last explore I saw must have been long after tours because someone had gone in and smashed the glass shower walls and doors. Truly so sad to see it abandoned but even more sad to see the disregard and disrespect people have.
I'm not one to smash or loot anything, but there is more stuff abandoned here than most people will be able to afford in their entire lifetimes. It was shitty of the owners not to liquidate these possessions in a responsible manner. Poor people could have used those vehicles. The property could have made a nice park or facility.
This is end stage capitalism staring us in the face. It's just wrong.
Disgusting. Seriously, who destroys things just to destroy them? I mean, there's no benefit or payoff to anyone for doing it, it's just needless, wasteful destruction. It's honestly repulsive!
@@lblincoe2094 I completely agree. It senseless and unnecessary.
Young punks must have went in there and destroyed everything
He clearly is illiterate lol
The word ur looking for while trying to talk about the houses size is MAGNITUDE
The electric is still on in this mansion, the wolfe thing you called a fondue is a deep fryer and there was a red light on, the wall ovens still displayed the digital clock showing that the electric is still on. This makes me wonder if the last owner still owns it or someone else, not the bank or state or government due to taxes not being paid.
Absolutely beautiful.
Yes! Come to say this! Lol
I’m wondering if they turn it all back on for bailiffs to come in and sift through it all? Or would they not bother?
Property taxes! Omgosh! I'd hate to see what the property taxes would be on this beauty!
My daughter and I were watching this video together and since you posted a scripture (which I appreciate) I’ll share my thoughts. I was talking with my daughter and expressing, “see? Everything we strive for in this life is corruptible and eventually rots.”
“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust[a] destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.” Matthew 6:19-20
No need to quote religion to reach the same conclusion 😑 surely American
@@ahoranui Likewise, it would benefit you to take a break from a strictly atheistic worldview and consider that what Jesus spoke about in scripture has truth to it and is for our benefit so we understand that this life is only the beginning of existence and that life has a point to it beyond just right now.
Jesus explains His purpose for coming to earth in John 18:37
“You are a king, then.” said Pilate.
Jesus answered, “You say that I am as such. In fact, the reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.”
@@ahoranui no need to insult another person’s beliefs or their heritage.
Well said!
I loved how you showed every single detail in the house and took the time to notice everything. You do a great job presenting. They were looking to repaint some of the rooms (with the blue tape protecting the borders). I believe that the appliance in the kitchen island was used to keep food warm. Also, maybe she put both kids together in that 1 room while that section of the house was getting renovated. Very strange how everything was left there (expensive shoes, clothes, etc.)
As soon as I saw the Let’s Jam hair jam and the Motions hair mousse I knew it was a sister that lived there 😂 beautiful home ❤
Lol that's what I was thinking, obviously someone w some ethnicity was staying there 😂 but the makeup with lighter toned too I noticed. Maybe it was the husband
This was a black family, the dad was a cardiologist!!!
But I wondered who moved in after that they left all the original hair products and clothes in the closet. We're they black too? Did they use Motions and let's jam too lol
I thought the items belonged to the 2nd family. Foreigners who returned to their country. Definitely brown though. If they left all that stuff, imagine what they took 😮
Thanks for the tours in the houses. Very interesting very nice job you and your help
I’m closing in on my retirement and I’d like to move from Minnesota to a warmer climate, but the prices on homes are stupidly ridiculous and Mortgage prices has been skyrocketing on a roll(currently over 7%) do I just invest my spare cash into stock and wait for a housing crash or should I go ahead to buy a home anyways
Most people are unable to handle a fall since they are accustomed to bull markets, but if you know where to look and how to get around, you can profit handsomely. It depends on your entry and exit strategy.
One of the primary reasons I utilise a portfolio coach to oversee my daily investing decisions is that their whole skill set is cantered on trading long and short at the same time, utilising profit-oriented techniques and minimising risk as a hedge against unforeseen events.
@@marcelrobert9569 Due to the significant falls, I need advice on how to rebuild my portfolio and develop more successful tactics. Where can I find this teacher?
@@charlotteflair1043 Yeah, I have total faith in a financial advisor who is certified by the US SEC. In fact, I'm not sure whether I'm allowed to disclose this, but I'd suggest checking up "Julie Anne Hoover" because she was a huge issue in 2020. She is my mentor in addition to managing my investments.
If you are close to retirement, you shouldn't have to get a mortgage. Cash buyers get instant equity in their house they purchase. If you can't afford to buy a house with cash, maybe you are not ready for retirement.
Leaves me incredibly sad to see such a beautiful house left to decay.
or someone needs to restore the mansion
Ok I figured it out, the house was built on an Indian burial site. The doctor's family had been haunted for a long time before the angry spirit caused the plane to crash. The wife and remaining kids kept being haunted so they sold and got out. The new guy that moved in was so terrified by the angry spirit that he just split, leaving almost everything behind, even fled the country. The squatter these guys heard wasn't a squatter at all, it was the evil spirit or perhaps the ghost of the doctor or son trapped in the house by the evil spirit. Its completely obvious to anyone who can read the tea leaves.
@@jeffk464 Dammmm : )
@@jeffk464how’d you find this out just curious
@jeffk464 I honestly had the same type of eerie feeling , and the dragged markings that look like old blood , either haunted , or the guy that lived there last killed his wife and her pet dogs , buried the bodies in the concrete of the unfinished pool house and then fled the country to face no charges in case anybody found out 😮
I’ve been subscribed your channel. I love all your exploring of abandoned mansions. These are so beautiful treasures. Thanks for the video to watch. Thank you so much. I love your UA-cam channel.
That house is INCREDIBLE. The story behind that walls is sad. I sad that house in another documentary but not the way you did, explaining in details. Excellent job and I really enjoyed the way you did it. Thank you. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This house is just breathtaking even after sitting that long abandoned. Makes me so sad. It's sad people can have such lavish lifestyles and just leave it all behind. Someone should honestly take the furniture and clothes and stuff out and donate it to people who need it. Especially the clothes with tags still on them.
That’s why it’s Squatters Laws 🤔.
@@Moyay and what is that?
Nah it’s ruined. Raccoons have been peeing on everything.
Because the guy was probably wanted and on the loose for tax evasion or something that was going to put him in jail. So he said fuck it and dropped everything and went back to his home country
Squatters pooping in the sink, it won’t be much longer they are gonna finish tearing this house up! I don’t understand why the state don’t have it in their foreclosed sales or tax foreclosure?? That’s odd to me ??
This is probably one of the most beautiful homes you’ve ever filmed. I love everything about it!
Eh it's too sad, this what am struggling for but now u see, I to leader most especially African dictators who ever yarn and don't get stisfaction
Yiii what a beautiful home with a nice design
Is there any body to save it, let it be an ophanage home can we pledge the government to own it
People are suffering on the streets why
@@kaluajosephic6510 that’s a good idea. Or a group home
such a beautiful place, i want to go there and tidy it up. ♡
Nice video. Love ❤ the main stair case. Wish someone would board 😢 this up.
as someone who has experienced homelessness more than once in my "adult" years, seeing all of this just going to waste is extremely disheartening. even just all those shoes and clothes going to waste.. such a shame
I mean no disrespect but how did you become homeless? I see people living in the street and I just wonder how what went on in their life?
@@StilettoCutsQuick. anything can happen, all it takes is for one to lose their job, usually a some medical condition, which prevents a person from being able to hold down a job. then everything else goes.
Agreed..😪
I had the same thought.
@jennahash Absolutely agree. Local authorities should allow a charity to use the place if it's abandoned in order to help people in need. It's ridiculous to leave such a big place abandon when there are people out there struggling without a roof.
It makes me very sad to see such a big beautiful house abandoned. My heart aches for the 1st family that lived here. I’m sure they had great expectations for their dream house. Very sorry for the loss of the family members
What happened to the family
@@kaleawilliams652the dad an son died so the rest of the family had to sell it
No you’re not
@@sliceofgames8558lmao r u ok
Likeee.. ARE they? 🥴
It’s very eerie when people leave their very personal items. I don’t think I’d want to touch any of it…..it truly distresses me and kinda spooky. Prayers for this family. Blessings. 🙏🏼❤️🕊️
This is absolutely awesome work, thanks! I love that it is about really getting to admire and trip out over the place and everything in it. It's not the childish "oh gosh . . . we are *sneaking around*" stuff! Respectful and very cool.
A sad and tragic reminder ... that you can't take anything with you out of this life. Ironic the fancy things people build, all the treasures they collect... and then so many who have nowhere to live these days. I cannot believe the heaps of costly belongings left behind in this place.
There's an old proverb in an old book that says you shouldn't put all of your heart into your wealth. You can't take it with you.
There was a deep sadness in that house. The energy is still there. So beautiful
I Think the guy who bought it killed his wife and fled the country in 2016. All her stuff is there, all doors open except the one with the smear that leads to a locked door? Bad energy, sad energy. I get a creepy feeling.
I feel it to
Same here
Definitely felt that sad energy. A huge sense of loss.
I wouldn't be able to live in this house because of the heavy energy.
Love the fabulous interior details invested in this home.
Wow crazy how much amazing stuff they left behind! And what an enormous beautiful house!
If I lived in a house like that I don’t think I’d ever leave lol
I couldn't even dream of. Home that beautiful!I live in a little 400 ft. House,two rooms and bath,but I'm grateful.
Blessed.
My hope and dream is that someone will buy this and bring it back to life. It will be a true work of art, with far deeper meaning than any other real estate venture. This house deserves life again.
It’s just a house. Lucky for Prince Harry and Meghan that some of King Charles III one hundred servants were able to keep the vermin out of Frogmore after all that decorating 🎉
Beautiful for filming any movie
Burn it to the ground
its said it is haunted when i asked the people in the neighbourhood
People died after buying the house.
It's such a waste to leave behind such expensive things. Sad that the owners didn't appreciate the value and blessings that they had. Wasteful!
Dr. Clint Devin (orthopedic surgeon), 46, crashed at the top of Emerald Mountain, December 10, because he crossed the final approach for runway threshold about 600 feet lower than what the procedure required.
He left behind his wife, Dr. Jessica Devin (endocrinologist), and sons Conor and Langdon.
They lived in Steamboat Springs, CO.
❤🙏🏽 Thank you for sharing this information. So sad…God bless him and his family.
So the red chair is actually called a Porter Chair. In old estates or private establishments the porter would be by the gate or door to answer the arriving guests. The shape allowed for him to be protected from the elements and as someone else also commented it also was good for sound i.e. blocking out the household or courtyard noise so you could hear guests arrive but its original purpose was not a music chair. I actually learned about these chairs at a haunted New England hotel. Loving this and not even half way through.
Verry interesting
We were once building a $15million+ house for a very rich family. And the teenage kids were designing their own rooms. But before we finished one of the daughters died in her sleep from a brain thing at their old house. They completely gave up on the build and we never finished it. It was about 80% complete. Never know what happened after that.
Omgosh! Tragic
The implement in the kitchen is a Wolf Sous Vide, you cook meats sealed in a bag with herbs and seasonings and they steam essentially in their own juices. Very very tender and the flavor cooks throughout. You opened that drawer with the scarves in it and the first scarf on top was by Hermes. That purple furniture up on the third floor looks just like the furniture in the Guesthouse Hotel at Graceland in Memphis Tennessee
Where is this house? So beautiful, thanks for sharing. Much love to the family ❤
You know, with all that wealth, the house, cars, fancy clothes, etc. It didn't mean a damn thing when you lose a part of your family. I couldn't imagine what the mother went through with her remaining 3 children, but it was enough to leave their dream home behind. It just feels like happiness and love lived here, and now, it's just an empty tomb.
It’s very sad. The physical manifestation of grief.
Oque aconteceu nessa casa ?
It was bought by a man that then left the country and didn't pay the taxes. Not a tomb at all.
@@dinahsperek3403 ela teve dois donos, o primeiro que a construiu morreu em um acidente de avião com o filho então a esposa teve que vender a casa. O segundo dono, pelo o que falaram em comentários era um estrangeiro que estava sendo procurado aí ele teve q voltar pro país dele e largou td pra tras
THAT WAS DEEP HOMIE. FOREAL
As the guy was showing us more and more boxes from extravagant things, the only thought I had was that no matter how much stuff these people bought, nothing was enough for them! How many shoes, bags, clothes does one person need? Most of the clothes still had their tags on them.
I honestly think extremely rich people like this are very unhappy. That's why a lot of them have drink and drug problems. They get a quick fix from ordering the latest shoes or trainers or whatever, but 10 minutes later the thrill wears off. Buying things doesn't make you happy. Friends, family and love makes you happy.
Don't get me wrong, being broke doesn't make you happy either, but I think there's a certain amount of money that hits the right spot! Enough to not have to worry about bills; enough to live in a nice comfortable home; enough to feed your family good food; enough to give to charity or a friend in need; and enough to go on a holiday or two each year. That to me would be bliss.
I feel sorry for the first family that the man and son died. However, I don't think the second family cared about this house. They had so much money they could afford to just abandon it like this. I think wealth like this is vulgar, to be honest. If they have so much money why not gift the house to some charity when they were leaving the country instead of letting it go to ruin? To me it's disgusting that children in the world are dying of poverty and at the same time people like this are wasting so much money. I guarantee they'd be happier human beings if they gave more than they take.
Perhaps they were criminals who had to flee the country? Why else would you just leave things like a Mercedes car behind?
To finish, I wouldn't buy this house if it was the last house on the planet. It has a very bad vibe that seeps through the screen. I'm not sure if it's because of the poor man and son dying, or if it's from whomever bought it afterwards.
Alternatively, it makes me wonder if the house somehow brings bad luck to its owners? I do believe there are properties that have bad vibes. I hope the next owners demolish it and start again (and have the land blessed before they begin!). Wouldn't be me, that's for sure.
Yeah for real, the bad vibes are palatable. Honestly, I think the guy who amassed such wealth and built this house from nothing must've been a real winner full of life energy. What kind of all-star creates a property like this, gives such a life to his family, and takes his kid flying on planes. He must've been a swell guy. That's what makes it sad and contributes to the bad vibes. The fact that this place was cynically commoditized and abandoned by obvious bad people with more money than brains or morals only makes it worse. I can't believe the stuff hasn't been taken, that's the most couching shocking thing, but on a positive note it reinforces the idea that monitarily expensive things don't count for much and sentimental things are really what count
Yes creepy vibe
@@jamessteele5918 Agree on the sad vibes. But the next owner was reportedly a businessman-philantropist who died in a car crash in Africa, hence taxes stopped getting paid since- potentially estate litigation issues that could go for years and usually houses are left derelict in the interim - we are so quick jumping into conclusions like 'they were bad people' or criminals... that says more about us as a collective.
The owner of said abandoned property died in an auto accident in Nigeria
Respectfully disagree. People go to two extremes. "I'd rather be poor and happy instead of being super rich!" Those are mutually exclusive.
Poor is when you're worried about pay your bills on timr or theres no safety net. You want to move to a "good" neighborhood, schools , low crime, etc. Well, that takes money, honey. You need to be ricjh to buy a house
There's a false idea that "poor" trumps being rich. And that you're morally superior than rich folks.
You want your kids to goto Private schools and college w/o debt? Yeah, thats a desire to be "rich" and if you have that, you're rich. People are hypocrites.
The doctor was stupid w/ life choices. Agreed. He could've b been overextended on his credit. Many average ",homeowners fall into this trap too.
You know what money brings? Comfort , choices, security, and experiences that " poor" people would trade in a heart beat. Choices to not work and stay home. If the dr. Paid the insurance premiums the wife would've have choices. To stay in the house or move. Being able to stay @ home instead of forced to work and find child care.
Many can relate to the expensive clothes b/c we know how much designer clothes cost. But its difficult to relate to a the cost of building a 10 million house b,/c its so abstract.

Well done Tazer production. Thanks Colin. X
That why I do what Mr. warren Buffet said; “ don’t let the possessions to possess you. “
It's literally heart breaking seeing all that stuff that is left behind.
I been wondering if the house or mansion was paid off or did the guy was still making payments
Hello Pamela how's the weather over there
I used to think about having a house, especially a house of this magntude in such a remote location. I live in a one-bedroom apartment with the usual noisy neighbors and street noises. But, after watching these videos, not so much anymore. I think even with a big family it would seem a little too quiet and lonely - and scary, especially at night.
I'll take cozy over massive rooms with gaudy furniture any day.
Me too. ❤
You’re right, this is just waaaay too big. You wouldn’t even remember what you have and where you put it!
not only that but that shit still needs to be cleaned whether the rooms are being used or not otherwise it will look like this lol and i ain’t cleaning a million fuckin square feet fuck that lol plus all the other problems from not using half the stuff inside the house cuz you’re just 1 person i’d literally only see my room and the kitchen the whole time i lived there lol walking a mile just to get to the other side of the house and shit fuck all that i’ll take my 2 bedroom 2 bath apartment any day lol you could have 3 families live in this shit and never even see them lol
imagine being super hungover or something and getting back into bed and realizing you left your water in the kitchen half a mile down the hall and you gotta walk all the way back and get it lol
Wow, crazy, loved the video tour.
This is really sad that this house is not being used or sold. It would be awesome someone to save this amazing place from crumbling to the ground.
All those clothes should been donated to people in need.
I’m thinking same thing 😢
@@chelseawatson7747They belong to someone. They are new.
@@astridcyanistescaeruleus4126 I wonder why didn't the owner took her belongings? It's selfish she could had at least donated her stuff at shelters or to the people in need . I mean it's just sitting there collecting dust and spoiling roth mold .
@@chelseawatson7747 her husband and son died... how can she be selfish? maybe she just wanted to walk away from it all?
I was cracking up when you showed the books and said, no one I really heard of. They were James Patterson and Danielle Steel. Made me feel so old. lol
IKR?!?! AND the majority of the James Patterson books were the earlier series of Alex Cross! 😮
Yep, I'll take the Danielle Steel books😂
Ikr!!! Im only 35 and was shocked when he said that! I watch a few other channels that go through abandoned homes and the things they call “vintage” makes me cringe. Like no culture at all!!!
@@GardenFairyPrincess I turn 30 later this year, and I completely agree!! I saw these books and was thrown right back to my childhood. I'm genuinely shocked that Bankz has never heard of James Patterson, at least! 😨😂
Apparently he’s not a reader! 😂
Mind blowing , my dream home, thanx for sharing❤😅
Do any of these people ever see the videos and reach out to explain why they abandon the property?
Wow. Like Big Bankz said in his video, this is more like a palace than a mansion! How utterly beautiful it is...and was. Thanks for filming this video.
Hello Cheryl how's the weather over there
This house is simply a dream. I couldn’t imagine living there. I love your attention to detail and thorough scan of the house! My jaw dropped at the gun 😂😂 Keep up the great content!
Nice
🧡 Yes, great video to detail & you are respectful to the belongings also...
I use to work with Antiques,, even the piano has the Queen Anne legs,, just absolute solid antiques that are so beautiful,, All the wooden furniture is priceless antiques,, simply amazing...😎
So very sad for the lady who lossed her husband and son ..she had such a beautiful beautiful home 🏡 ❤❤❤❤❤ God bless her
I can only imagine fixing this this beautiful home up
Boy, it would take a lot of money
It is an awesome home ❤❤❤❤
I can never comprehend people who can afford this lifestyle and just walk off and leave some of the nice things they left in the home there are so many people that would be grateful and feel blessed to have what they must have had living in that home wow.😟
Some ppl are not a slave to those material things… and are able to walk away because the found out how to do it the first time I’m sure they can do it again and any place they go. It’s a mindset.
The main person that was 2nd owner intended (from what I can tell) on returning but was killed as well. He was still the owner of and involved in a lot of businesses in the USA so it would make sense he would keep a house here as well as his home county. At least one of his kids is still here in the states in college.
They are rich enough, that these things are simply replaced. To us it’s worth so much, to them it’s not. Sad story though.
@@HDMichelle33 how did you find out about the 2nd owner?
@@phishhaley researched it
One of the best designed mansion's I have seen, it is beautifully done from one room to the other it has excellent flow. What is sad is that so much waste, so much excess and in the end none of it can be taken with, Her husband and son left this world with nothing in hand and no amount of money or possessions can bring them back, a huge void in the lives of the remaining family.
My experience working in criminal justice is that people who leave in such haste were usually involved in criminal activity. Also they live and spend over the top. Just a theory. On a side note...who poops in a kitchen sink 🤮 ?
That formal living room with the grand tall glass is absolutely magnificent. Definitely my favorite room in that mansion.
Something about the state the house is in says they left expecting to return and something happened keeping the owner away. Like there’s a missing piece to the story. That being said, thank you for sharing your adventure with us. It’s beautiful.
I agree it seems as if they started to pack and left planning to come back and finish but never did
The Owner Died In A Plane Crash.
The widow sold it. It was bought by a foreigner. The new owner left the country, and the taxes stopped getting paid. That's how it became abandoned.
I heard the new owner was deported back to his country. I believe they said it was Nigeria.
I think whoever was staying there after the family left was a terrorist I don’t know, but there’s more to the story! They left and went back 😱🤷🏽♀️🇺🇸
I’ve been reading the comments. It seems like people are not comprehending that the FIRST owner of this home who was a surgeon, DIED in a plane crash with his 15 year old son. RIP
His widow SOLD the home to a SECOND owner. Who in turn abandoned the home LEAVING personal belongings, plus a Range Rover, Mercedes and a Beetle.
Very sad circumstances for BOTH families!
Got a link
I think the woman who lost the son and husband left the stuff and sold the house “ as is “ those shoes were all pretty large. Women’s were size 9 and the men’s shoes were large too
Likely her sons shoes
Seems like someone went to jail or got kicked out by the bank and cops.
As far as I know from what I’ve read… they moved in while the construction was still being completed, and still owed over 9 million on the house, and the unfinished construction. Due to the fact the doctor was not paying his premiums on his life insurance they lost everything. Everything I’ve found only hints to one owner which is why the house stayed unfinished after they lost it.
😢😢we are born with nothing and dies with nothing.
Everything goes back to dust.
Yes...
So sad all that is going to waste such a gorgeous home. So aad for both families. I thought i saw neighbors hopefully they watch. I want to live there. Gorgeous
I wonder can you take stuff from abandoned mansions. If left
I love how detailed you are in viewing and showing people around. Also how you kinda stop and tell where we are at to really get a feel for the home. I love looking at these videos and actually see each area and the details of it all.
What's absolutely amazing to me is how many places like this exist. I mean, obviously, a bank now owns it. But how can all these banks just let these palaces rot away, thus losing all their value? It is really profitable for banks to do that rather than just sell them at significant losses? Minds blown
This was the most beautiful abandoned mansion I have seen. Incredibly sad feeling in this place though. Like unbearable heartbreak. Great job showing us this. BRAVO! 🙋🏽🪴
I'm so in love with you because of your sneaker knowledge alone!!
Just curious, do you take any of the things?
I do enjoy your videos. You show respect for the homes you showcased. Thank you. So sad, but sometimes one just leaves because the pain and memories overwhelming.
It's quite amazing how quickly modern construction deteriorates when left unattended versus much older construction. Just goes to show that they really don't build them like they used to.
Yeah, I've seen 110 year old mansions in better shape than this.
This is a beautiful piece of work that you have documented. Wonderful job documenting this lovely home as well as telling the story that goes along with it.
The animal is a squatter!! Crapping and peeing are people doing that!
That’s my style! Love the entrance and that kitchen!
Who wants to buy this house with me? We would never even see each other i swear.
No but in all seriousness, RIP to the father, son, husband that tragically passed away in the plane accident. That must have been horrible to live through. I couldnt imagine.
Such a beautiful, elegant home. Thank you for sharing.
U mean all of the house owner are dead on the plane crash? Seriously?
So excited to see what's inside! Instagram pictures has me really intrigued! 🎄😁 Can't wait to hear the story behind the mansion!
The details in that house are insane. Shame to see it abandoned. Great stuff Bankz.
When I watch your videos of the abandoned houses I feel sadness. I dont understand how or why their personal belongings are left behind.
Plus, how is it that people don't steal things?..amazing..but so sad too..😢
So glad i found this channel! So cool!
I think this is the most beautiful "Palace" I have ever seen. So very sad for the family who lost their loved one's. I don't understand why all the absolutely beautiful contents are left behind just to rot away. Once again BigBankz you have taken us with you through another amazing mansion. Stay safe ... Can't wait for the next one😁😉
I imagine the builders are saddened that they put all this work in to this house only to be abandoned .
@@cherylschneider6903 Why they received their money for building it. It's a business transaction not their personal house.
He explained in the video, the SECOND owners returned to their country. It's very expensive to ship things internationally. They likely took what was most important based on cost.
So sad story, and little creepy and strange that so much stuff is left in that beautiful house. I really enjoy watching your videos! Love from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 😊
Drag stains from the elevator was deff crazy...suspicious that none of the elevator doors opens after that!
@@Rain11Eleven"When the bodies hit the floor!" 😮😮😮😮
This beautiful mansion would be a prefect family compound 😊 simply amazing
This homw was beautiful I loved the way this house was built it was heartbreaking the tragic story what a shame the beautiful big house just went to waste 😮😢I would have loved to stay in this house I would have taken care of this beautiful home!!
Has never heard of Wolf appliances, Jo Malone, Danielle Steele, gold fixtures/golden showers but literally knows the names of every pair of sneakers in that house!
I just found your channel and I had no idea that homes like this were abandoned! But I was so impressed in the way you tell the history with compassion and empathy and what caught me by surprise was that in the very beginning of the video the verse 1 Peter 4:8, “above all things, love each other deeply.” This reminds us of how precious and fleeting life is and that time is the true gift. Love that you posted this and that the video was although sad and beautiful was shown with grace and compassion for the past, and respect. Great job and don’t ever sway from what your heart tells you to do.
Where are you from Katie, love your comment, I am pastor Robert from India, In India people lives on Roads and no homes to many, my heart melting by seeing all abandoned houses and things
You'd be surprised how many abandoned mansions are out there. It's crazy
P⁰I will c u 😊 👋 😘 ❤️ ♥️
I absolutely enjoyed this!
Great video like and subscribed.
👍🏻🙋🏻♂♿❤
it’s confusing to me that a house sits open and abandoned but looters or others haven’t emptied out all the designer items and furniture.. Its really weird … after all of these years? Not even to donate?
I have never seen such an extravagant and graciously-abandoned home such as this one. Through watching the full hour of this video, each walk through and tour of each of the rooms just forces me to question what the finished result would be if tragedy never struck. How you described the property and just the way you follow your points across makes me eager to find out more about this property and where it is situated. I thoroughly enjoyed this video, thank you!
You need to take a look at Kenny Roger’s old abandoned mansion. Someone did buy it and then they went back to their country. Bank took it over due to overdue taxes from last owner.
@@SueZeeQ-67 that’s usually what happens
I googled plane crash dr and 15 year old son. The one in CA seemed to be the likeliest.
com
agree.. I'm sure there are some legal issues.. my uncle died..we thought he was rich.$$ but it was more of the heart.. he was BROKE with kids in college..cars..house...wow when the IRS came and seized it all
I can't believe that people have not come in there and looted the flatscreens, brand new tagged clothes, et cetera?
Just watched another urban explores video of this house. One of the most interesting abandoned videos and such history. Watching from Canada 🇨🇦
Thank you for speaking quietly while exploring but not disturbing much what still stands. I pray a restoration of all things onto those that cherish them.
All those elevator doors that are locked are locked automatically when the elevator leaves the floor. The basement is where it was either last used or intentionally left to prevent any kind of possible accidental injury while the house is empty.
I was told about your channel by another youtuber (Dumpster Diving Momma of 2) and WOW was she right !!! Your videos are awesome.
Very interesting
Sad but beautiful home ❤
Just beautiful, can you imagine? I'd be blessed just having a quarter of this mansion to live in. Let me see, I'll take the kitchen, one bedroom with bathroom and one living area with one of those nice TV's. Thank you for the walk- through. You can do a lot of day dreaming walking through one of these massive homes. Thank you for letting us join you.
I would take the 3rd floor had an elevator!
1/4 of the mansion? 8500 square feet?
