Say you are a head a large corporation making serious bank (1 billion) or came into ridiculous lottery money. Would you buy an expensive home in a private area?
I would have something nice but not too big, all kinds of upkeep to keep track of. I would maybe 3-4 bedrooms, 4 car garage, and a pool outback.
Did some googling of high-dollar homes and came up with this $175M place in NY. You could get lost in this place, especially considering in the aerial shot below, the white lined area is all yours. I think that is about as private as you are gonna get. Anybody know if these houses come furnished as they are displayed or are you buying all your own stuff?
