Does this qualify?

Does it meet this definition?

In suburban communities, McMansion is a pejorative term for a large "mass-produced" dwelling, constructed with low-quality materials and craftsmanship, using a mishmash of architectural symbols to invoke connotations of wealth or taste, executed via poorly imagined exterior and interior design.

It's not exactly mass produced and doesn't specify if high end construction materials used. 3 bedroom and 9 bathrooms WTF. Too much grass to cut and will be a bitch for clearing snow. Thinking of buying it Jings?

Old people's home, surely?

Or a well off project managers or IT consultants retirement present. Obviously, the owner hosted parties hence the 9 bathrooms but didn't want the guests staying overnight as only 3 bedrooms on main floor but plenty of room for inflatable mattresses.

That's quite the analysis, I only looked at the outside.

For 10 million there should be a ranch attached.

Imagine having to clean the bloody thing!

I tend to think the owner would have Molly Maid or another cleaning service on speed dial.

Severely overpriced I think. Reported average cost of a new build is $150/sf. This house 13000sf. Cost therefore about $2M. So lets assume a 100% premium to ensure high quality finish and you get to $4M.
So is land expensive here? A glance at Realtor.ca has this desirable residence on offer a little along the same road. https://www.realtor.ca/real-estate/1...ky-view-county , and here you get a comparative shack with 150 acres for $1.25M, that's right 150 acres suggesting the 4 acres on offer is valued at around $50k.
You'd need to want to launder a thick wadge of cash to consider this one.
On the other hand it's probably owned by Donald Trump and we've come to understand how decimal points have a sort of ethereal quality where valuation of his properties is concerned.

How about these lovely places.

If I had $10m to spend on a house I certainly wouldn't be buying that monstrosity.

It's definitely a product of a small insular market which has developed its own sets of ideas and norms about what a "luxury house" ought to include... it's a bit like evolution really, where little mutations to the norm eventually become attractive and highly exaggerated in isolated communities - the freakish becomes the new normal. Then someone from outside comes in and sees it and thinks, "Christ almighty, what on earth has happened here??!!"

If I had 10 million, I would not be buying a house in Alberta when you can gave ocean front house.

Some real estate listings are more pretentious than wine bottles......this one says that the house is 'motivated by the ocean's elements'

Rich people talk lol

Here is another.....this is the 2nd most expensive house listed for that area, only 30 million US$.

"property that pays homage to a cinematic landscape where cliffs meet the infinity of ocean."

Well that description applies to a $30 million home not a mere $10 million place to rest your head. I find it quite odd that they quote the monthly mortgage payments for the $30 million home which would scare most people off.

My wife went to San Diego years ago and raved about how beautiful La Jolla was.
