      Odd. It can't seem to decide whether it's contemporary or traditional.

        A very strange house.

        That much water pooling on the roofs is a big red flag.

          It is fascinating. And strange. Lots of cool features, and then there's much I don't like. Steps everywhere....don't think it would be a good idea for someone my age to invest in trip/fall hazards....🤠

            That definitely is an interesting house and the price seems very low for such an extensive structure. I do wonder about the location, having looked at it on Google Earth and finding it more or less in the middle of nowhere and surrounded by crop irrigation circles. As I zoomed out, I saw other houses similarly situated in what I'd regard as crop land, so it must not be an entirely unique property in that region.
            Nothing stranger than people, as an old friend of mine would remark.

              Yes, flat roofs are a mistake. It’s pretty dry there, Average 9” rain a year, 4” of snow.

                Huh, this is interesting... Some nice details inside, but yeah, no on the flat roofs.... It looks like a hotel to me.

                  Flat roofs work fine if they’re engineered correctly. The trick is to provide enough slope/crown that water doesn’t pond even after it settles with time.

                  Newer roofing materials withstand ponding better than older materials, but the more water that ponds the more the framing sags and the worse the problem becomes.

                    Yes, it's definitely interesting. The outside looks like a small version of a manufacturing plant I worked at the first four years out of school. What I like about the inside is all the space! Looks like plenty of options for a studio, and a music room, and a library. I'm not keen on the split levels, and the view of the dining room from the sunken living area is weird. Probably a great place for entertaining. Of course, my decor would be considerably different from what's there now. The taxes seem pretty reasonable for a place of that size. "Shared well" is something I would look into.

                      The virtual tour shows even more.

                      There are so many steps and level changes. A slightly inebriated guest would be at risk….🍸 🍸 🍸

                        Basically in the middle of absolutely nowhere. I wonder what the backstory is on the building of it. Why such an elaborate architecturally designed house in this location?
