The Maine house and grounds were gorgeous.

The Texas one would have been nic except for the location. Too much money to live right in the city.

The one in SC for $4.81 is in my price range !!!

Why do they all have more bathrooms than bedrooms? Isn't that sort of weird?

I have not yet been able to figure out if that's a typo or glitch in the software in the listing or if it's some kind of rich folk trend. I've been on the sites a lot lately looking at property and see that a lot on higher to outrageously priced homes, so am leaning towards "rich folk trend". Maybe private bath in every bedroom and then a common bathroom or two.  Also a lot of rural homes with big shops next to them have a bathroom in the shop.

The Wyoming location is amazing- inside Yellowstone!  Lovely house too.  That's my favorite.

I'm just amazed at how ugly and badly designed some of these actually are. Even ones where it wouldn't be my dream house, like Georgia, I can see that it scores nicely in looks, function, form and whatnot.

Maine is the best one, for my tastes. Looks decently built from what I can tell but who knows. Plenty of windows but not too much. Interior is nice. Beautiful landscaping, good design. Some of these houses that cost literally multiple times as much have worse landscaping than my house.

The Pennsylvania home has an underground shooting range.

The one in Tennessee doesn't look very impressive for the price. Maybe it's on a lot - and I do mean a LOT - of land?

Some of the homes (e.g., Oklahoma) just look weird.

Once again California wins for ugliest and most over-priced.

I'm just surprised it was LA and not Montecito. Though the Montecito estates are usually pretty nice. Most of that expensive stuff in LA and Beverly Hills is kinda ugly to me.


I also really liked Maine. Then most of the more rural properties in the West.

I was surprised at the Yellowstone home. I actually had no idea NPS would allow that. I wonder if it's "Yellowstone area" but just outside of the park boundaries?  I wouldn't want to deal with the snow there though.

I used to have a 2 bed room/2.5 bath townhome.  Full bathroom for each bedroom and a half bathroom downstairs.  Might start as something like that and they end up with more rooms that are not bedrooms which changes the ratio.

This is correct.  Usually a common bathroom on each level, so no one needs to go into a bedroom to get to a bathroom.  And the really large houses might have bathrooms near specialty areas such as a game room, theater room, or pool house.

Not even for the ultra-rich. The trend now in "up-scale" houses is that every bedroom has to be a suite, with its own bathroom. Then you add in one or two for the visitors (not overnight guests, the casual visitors and dinner guests), and maybe another for the shop or garage, and the count climbs rapidly.

My uncle did basically that when he inherited my grandfather's summer house in Maine. He took a nice, semi-rustic cottage that had five bedrooms and two mathrooms, and remodeled it to four bedrooms and either three or four bathrooms. (I think three -- there was one bedroom that didn't have any adjacent space that could be made into a bathroom.)

It said its inside the park. It may be on a parcel that was privately owned at the time the park was created. Such things did happen when the big, famous national parks were created.

two mathrooms

I suppose that brings new meaning to "number 1" or "number 2".  Or maybe he really liked math...

Could be. I hear of that a lot out this way, but mostly on Forest Service land and it's a 99 year lease so you only own the house, not the land. I've never heard of it on NPS land until now. They're usually pretty persnickety about people in the park.

Wish we could get a 99 year lease on our cabin.  All the FS does is 20's and gets more likely to not renew each time.

Oh, maybe they changed that. There were a lot of cabins in the hills above where I used to live, and one of the people living in them that I knew said they had 99 year leases there. Given the other stuff Forest Service and BLM have been up to, I can see them looking for every way possible to legally remove all those private residences.

That would actually scare me a bit if I were looking to pay millions for that house in Yellowstone. That could all be money down the drain.

This lease has been in place and renewed every 20 years since the early 1930's.

I'm curious about the South Dakota home that is apparently built on top of a golf course on hole 15.

Don't remember what park or parks, but I've seen maps of some national parks that look like a patchwork quilt. If the people own the property the house sits on, technically it isn't "in" the park -- it's private land surrounded by national park land.

Looks like it's not actually "in" the park.

Hey, Camden was part of my old stomping grounds.  I lived two towns over from 1988-1994.  My first full-time summer job was in Camden.

My grandparents lived across Penobscot Bay from Camden. When kids in town wanted to go to the movies we had a choice: we either drove 36 miles to Bangor, or took a boat across to Camden. Both were fun, but the boat carried more people.
