I have no idea who wants to live in a desert, anyway, but far more importantly it's a family size home filled with danger for children! It's not just frightful, but actually frightening.
The OP says to dream on, but frankly it's a total nightmare.
But my interests are, in no particular order:
CarsFishSunLuxuryBeing somewhere that feels remote.
So I guess it kind of fits my wants and desires and to my eyes the architecture is absolutely incredible with all those straight lines and a design that blocks out the view of your neighbours.
I do agree about the over indulgence with water in a place that does not have any to spare, but would hope all the water is recycled on site and not wasted.2 -

All my children are grown up, and they can swim. But I have a grandchild, loads and loads of nephews, nieces, and grand-nephews and grand-nieces, and the thought of them being in that death trap .... Anyway, fortunately, I don't have $50m.
When we were younger, my wife and I looked at a house with a pool. It was great, except my wife said that we would have to fill the pool in.
No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -

RS2OOO said:Not sure how welcome this will be on here, a slight change to the usual stuff, it just blew me away, and whilst $50 million is not cheap, compared to the competition (up to $150 million) and compared to some of the £30 million flats up London, this has value for money written all over it.
Sit back and dream for a few minutes:

Stunning property! Hope it's not near one of the many fault lines in California and at risk of earthquake!
