Monday July 12th, 2010 08:21 Disney World To Build Luxury Homes

The question you have to ask yourself is how much do you REALLY love Disney.  Enough to pay luxury costs for an estate on the amusement park’s property?  Well then, wish granted!

Apparently Disney World is allocating some of their property for new luxury home construction. According to recent reports out of Florida, Disney is planning on building a gated community called Golden Oaks which will eventually see up to 400 new luxury homes.

Prices for the estates will start at $1.5 million and go up from there to at least $8 million.  We’re sorta of unclear on where these homes would be located, given the small amount of space left inside the park itself for such extravagance.

Tuesday May 18th, 2010 09:00 Mark & Renee Rockefeller’s Manhattan Estate

Now we can know how the infamous Rockefeller’s live in modern days with this new estate listing on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.

This luxury townhouse, listed at $15.5 million, is the home of Mark and Renee Rockefeller and my is this a tasty estate!

The 25-foot-wide townhouse is 6,420 square feet. It has five floors plus a full basement with a wine vault, laundry room and exercise room. The four-bedroom home has one of the most amazing libraries I have ever seen, especially if you are a connoisseur of dead things. It has gleaming lacquered walls with animal skulls in front of a black and white marble fireplace surround and exotic animal heads and fur pillows atop tufted couches.

The home makes bold use of wallpaper prints, notice-me-now furniture and dramatic light fixtures. As the Real Estalker aptly puts it, “this is not your blue-blooded grandma’s townhouse.” It appears to be the sort of house one either adores or abhors. Public records show that “Maren Properties” (which is likely an abbreviation of Mark “Mar” and Renee “Ren”) of 30 Rockefeller Plaza paid $10.8 million for the home in June 2005. The home was on the market in 2008 for $18.5 million but can now be had for $15.5 millio

Monday May 17th, 2010 08:01 World Project Island For Sale

Despite the no flipping rule, it looks like an island in the World Project has been listed for sale, at a semi-reasonable $11.44 million.

An investor in the World project has listed an island on sale defying the “no flipping” diktat by UAE Defense Minister, Nakheel. While flipping is not allowed for islands on the World and since transfer of ownership is a complicated procedure in the UAE, still the 20,000 sqm island is up for sale for $11.44 million (Dh42 million).

Okay, first item on the to-do list, get $11.44 million somehow.  Second item, contact investor.  And third, move in, of course.

Monday May 10th, 2010 08:54 Kanye West Lists Hollywood Luxury Estate

With everything that you expect from a Kanye West-owned home from Pop Art to beige minimalism, this Hollywood estate certainly doesn’t fail to miss that mark.

West has recently listed his Hollywood luxury estate for an asking price of $3.995 million, which he may very well get since the market is just getting back on its feet.

Features of the lavish property include 4,200 square feet of luxurious living space, fishtank bathtub, large windows overlooking the city, enormous master suite with spacious bath area and room for a pool additions, since, surprisingly, this estate does not feature one.
