Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 20081, other record living area = 19301.
Exorbitant Price Point: The list price of $59.5 million places this property in an ultra-luxury niche, significantly narrowing the potential buyer pool to an extremely select group of ultra-high-net-worth individuals.
High Ongoing Maintenance & Operational Costs: An estate of this magnitude, featuring extensive acreage, a large villa, and numerous amenities (lake, vineyards, equestrian facilities), will demand substantial ongoing maintenance, staffing, and operational expenses.
Age of Core Structure: While meticulously maintained and designed, the 1972 year built suggests the core structure is over 50 years old, which may imply a need for potential infrastructure updates or higher long-term maintenance considerations compared to newer constructions.
