As someone who lives in a desert, I can assure you, the dust storms will be unforgivable in that home. My friend left a backdoor cracked when one blew through and the house looked like no one lived there for 20 years, the amount of dust was choking me. Great idea for a home in the desert to not have walls. Prime example of an architect that doesn't live in the area.
@@bajabl He's literally talking about accidentally leaving a door cracked open and the dust storms flooding the house. This is a house made of open windows. Even if they can be shut, you only have to forget to hit the button once or wait a bit too long, and your house is a dustbowl.
@@bajabl One bad crack in all of those window seals and you might be screwed like OP's friend. The rooftop patios and pools are gonna be an expensive clean too.
@@bajabl I did not, and can assure you that I have never, nor ever will be near one of these homes. lol The risk, as others have stated, is leaving a cracked window, or having one damaged without knowing. It just takes one and half that home is caked in dust. Now I don't think the owner would care. Anyone who has that much money will just hire a cleaner, but that's a whole other issue. Some people have too much money and would actually buy a fully wooden home near a volcano just because they can't figure out how to spend it all.
@@noisynixx Honestly that would go kinda hard. Record a drone album with field recordings from the volcano and house you’ve got a free RYM classic on your hands
This looks like the houses I build for my sims when they have more money than they know what to do with. And then I get annoyed because they pee themselves before the make it to the toilet because the house is so big and everything takes ages.
I love building massive mega mansions in the sims, but you need to pack them full of bathrooms. Also, ur sims are never going to be able to get to school or work on time lmao
I have to admit out of all mansions I’ve seen, at least she has her own style. Most owners basically leave their mansions white, bland, no color matching.
yeah at least she like...picked stuff herself. instead of instructing some poor personal assistant to buy every white and grey piece of furniture in a 30 mile radius.
Yeah I agree. I hate how nowadays there is an obsession with the ultra "minimalist" pastel aesthetic with abstract art sculptures. I don't get it. Definitely not something I'd want in a home. Ashley's is more homey to me.
@@seydabomb Yeah, I thought it looked cozy. Like it was actually meant to be lived in lmao. I don't share her taste in aesthetics in every room, but noting jumped out at me as ultra pretentious or useless.
Huge fan of the Snipers nest 9000 cacti mansion, by only issue i have with it is that it looks more like a COD map than a home. but maybe thats just me lmao
As someone who lives in South Carolina, seeing all of that standing water in the cactus mansion is mortifying. All I can think of is mosquitoes, mosquitoes, mosquitoes, MOSQUITOES, MOSQUITOES, MOSQUITOES!!!!
imagine sleeping in the open air and you wake up with ants, spiders, and mosquitoes crawling all over you. You try to run but end up slamming into a cactus
The $25M mansion is not even that bad, its just the fact that there’s like no doors and everything is open. You get one dust storm or one monsoon and your whole house interior is absolutely ruined. Not to mention this guy is using way more water than he should with massive lawns, three pools, and infinite plants in a place suffering with drought
Well, no doors, so that means no air conditioning, and I feel like it would get so hot in the summer. All sorts of animals could get in, and not to mention the amount of insects that would swarm you. It would be absolutely awful.
Fun fact: While VOCs are real a lot of them are also used in the house. So buying a non-toxic crib is usually worthless unless you can also ensure your house also lacks those compounds which for 99% of people they can't do.
As someone from Vegas, here are my points; 1. It's literally over 100 degrees Fahrenheit most of the year, having so much natural lighting means your house will be unbearably hot, even with AC blasting. 2. Yes, there is wind, especially at higher elevations. What'll be worse, though, is monsoon season and dust storms. 3. Since we've been in a drought for decades, there's a mandatory watering schedule and some restrictions on how much you're supposed to use. It's too expensive for some people to water their lawns, so desert landscaping (i.e., cacti, desert shrubs, rocks, etc) is super popular. Not sure why they did that with the cacti but then included THREE WATER FEATURES, but I guess that explains what all the money went to.
I don't envy the year-round heat or heavy water restrictions, but I wish desert landscaping worked where I live. I love how big cacti can get in their natural environments.
@@astrangeodor Quebec... with winter windchill, -30 Celsius/-22 Fahrenheit isn't uncommon. Happen to have family in Canada's one semi-arid desert region, but it's at the other end of the country.
Also the water will be a breeding ground for mosquitoes. Wildlife has a high chance at getting in (especially since it’s near/in the mountains area) and every other year we get those swarms of locusts that cake everything.. clearly this house was made by someone who doesn’t/never lived in Las Vegas cause this house is not at all ideal for our environment.. the only thing that makes sense is the cactus because by the time the summer is over that’s the only thing that would have survived in and on the house
My favorite part of that “pool” is when the needles fall off of the cactus into the water and you get to enjoy them being stabbed into the bottom of your palms and feet as you crawl like a crab around the shallow failure.
@@jebaited9612 actually there is a vacuum pool cleaners use to vaccuum the floor while the pool is still full. All pools tend to get some form of sediment settled on the bottom either bc wind blows stuff into the pool and it settles down at the bottom, or the ppl who own it go barefoot, get their feet dirty and wash it off by going in the pool. Having to drain and clean a pool every single time it's a little dirty would be wasting water, most of the time it's only done if the pool has not been cleaned in a loooong time
I'm so glad I grew up poor and became comfortable with not obsessing over numbers and bling while still recognizing the importance of working towards being a responsible adult. This is literally something I would create in SIMS after discovering the money cheat code for the first time.
Same here. Idk if it's just bc I grew up (partly) in a 2 bed, 1 bath apartment, but I can't imagine living in giant houses like these. I feel like they're so big and open that someone could just hide out and live there with you and you wouldn't even realize. Maybe I'm paranoid, but I'd take a small and secure studio any day.
Huge mansion full of wasps, dust, stones, cati/pins, flies and stuff because the designer/architect thought having an open concept in 100+ degrees was a good idea
With the toxic cribs thing, basically all furniture materials used by major producers give off some type of particulate. Usually not an issue because at least 90% of people are not babies and have more developed immune and respiratory systems that fight against them. It’s not even really an issue for most babies, but some children with pre-existing conditions do need non toxic cribs
True but for example phtalates are endocrine disruptors and in many cases enter the body through skin or pass the immune system check. And they are dangerous for everyone because exposure can cause cancer and fertility issues. I think the damage depends on the amount but since you oeple are exposed to those daily, it's good to eliminate the sources you know of and have control over.
@@saal0 man I don't want toxic gases coming off a baby crib in any quantities,I feel like that should be an important thing for a parent to put their foot down on
As a Californian, I give her credit. We're in a drought so she chose to decorate with desert plants and rocks instead of a huge water guzzling grass lawn with flowers. My neighbor is environmentally conscious and does the same. The state of California also gives you a tax refund for not having a grass lawn.
Seriously why the hell do they always have to make these houses as psychotically complex as they possibly can I don’t want to solve a maze to go to the bathroom
Yeah, this is the problem I have with these "modern architecture" stuff and all of this overthink that often goes into home decoration and stuff. Even before that awful mansion showed up, these uncomfortable chairs in the Ashley's house segment, they're so overthought and unnecessarily complicated, which made them almost useless since they're so uncomfortable.
Bruh if I lived in a place like this I would absolutely forget about most of the shit, It'd be 10 years down the road and someone will be like "Bro there a kitchen behind this wall" and I'd be like no fucking way
As someone who has lived in Las Vegas, this entire house would turn into a $25 million dollar sauna, because all of that glass and open open areas will do nothing to help you in 110 degree heat.
@@bajabl Sure, but the walls are mostly glass, non-insulated, and I’ve never seen a closing wall with a perfect seal. It would help, but at 110+ it’s not going to be enough to keep it cool by a long shot.
I've lived in Las Vegas for most of my life and I can't imagine who would want to have those giant windows open in the summer when it's 110+ degrees. He says that you'd get a nice breeze but it's like standing in an oven when it's windy. I'd say the outdoor areas will be essentially unusable for at least four months of the year unless there's some sort of covering.
true. it’s a little basic but at least she designed it herself. kris jenner has a yoshitomo nara painting and I’m still annoyed bc I know she didn’t pick it out and doesn’t know who that is.
9:35 Charlie is right, especially in the 'European Ghost Town's, the IS more to it! If you buy a house in italy in one of those ghost town's, where there are only old people and you have to drive to the next biggest city to get everything, you have in the buying contract a saying that you HAVE to fix the house to modern standarts in ONE YEAR! I know this becouse i have seen a contract for ine house from a friend of mine, her parent's have ton's of money so she got her home fices in no time.
My favorite house tour was Dakota Johnson; For those who don't know, I guess her house had been professionally staged for the house tour but she hadn't seen the staging, and when she went to give the tour of the kitchen there were two huge bowls full of limes on the counter next to the sink. She got so thrown off by them being there that she hyperfixated on them and went off about how much she loved limes and how great limes were. Then she started showing off some other stuff that was probably just staged for the tour. She later revealed in an interview that she's actually mildly allergic to limes.
It's interesting how unappealing mansions can be. Like I'd rather live in a moderately nice duplex than 99% of mansions...let alone a decent house with some land.
also, mansions can literally take a chunk of your money. Imagine the maintenance, insurance, water and electricity costs. They're financially impractical in the long run and I absolutely have no idea why a lot of people want to live in them
@@legoslash4799 Honestly, I feel like most of them are barely actually lived in. They buy them because they literally have more money than they know what to do with. It's not just an idiom for them, it's literal. They are searching for ways to spend absurd amounts of money (even though they could just donate it to help fund homeless shelters instead of buying absurd houses that they only stay in 2-6 weeks out of the year that only contribute to the homelessness problem in America) because people at their income level could spend over a thousand dollars every day and still have a sizeable inheritance for their kids when they die.
I live in AZ too and I live on the city limits so desert everywhere around and it's full of those jumping cholla cacti. Luckily I haven't seen any flying around in dust devils but if I ever see one go airborne, I'm hauling ass to the first cover I see.
Also desert dweller. Can you imagine living somewhere with that much stone that is in direct sunlight. You'd get 3rd degree burns on your feet if you take your shoes off.
@@uhmmmFU Jesus, hadn't even thought of that. Even where I live, the pavement can get hot enough to burn pets' feet in the summer - and I live in Canada.
@@Zizpy yeah like a modern Villa, the stone walkway that leads into the "pool" reminds me of the central walkway in that map that you can rappel into and look down from on the second floor
If I'm not mistaken, a lot of those cacti are San Pedro cacti, and they're the best source of mescaline short of peyote (and totally legal to grow and own so long as you're not clearly extracting or consuming them, wink wink.) So the cactus house is actually pretty valuable in that sense lol. At least if you live there you know at any moment you're never more than a couple hours from full-blown 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenethylamine bliss.
3 bananas worth of radiation is probably one of the funniest things I've heard in a while lol. Also 4:04 the timing of Charly's burp stretching while the lady started laughing was pretty funny.
I like how obvious it is that the designers of some of these houses run out of ideas halfway through and completely asspull the rest. That 25 mil desert house literally had a 10 shower/tub to 4 bedroom ratio because what the hell else are you going to fit into those giant spaces of gravel? None of this makes logical sense lol
@@someguy1688 How is this even intended? like are you going to sit outside naked in your bath tub? Are you going to wear swimwear while taking a bath? it makes 0 sense.
8:56 That really hurt to hear that no one was willing to offer up the paltry amount of $10 to buy Aubrey Lewis' mansion to preserve it, but they were more than happy to spring the funds to demolish it.
@@chvIry Hard to imagine, but some people don't like the prospect of seeing somebody over and over whose sole purpose in life seems to be posting this clickbait shit under every video he clicks on.
I was turned away from my screen and for a second I thought she burped then laughed at her own burp in the middle of her interview and I was just thinking “what a fuckin power move”
Re: cribs. Firstly you have off gassing, so whatever chemicals were trapped in the packaging being released when you assemble the crib. Then you have the fact that a teething baby is likely to chew on their crib, exposing them to whatever chemicals were used in processing and finishing the wood. Just FYI. 😊
Nice to see that some comments are giving her credit for at least having her house have some of her *own* personal things that makes it different then other houses in this series
I actually liked the overall look/feel of this. Only thing that I hate about these giant super mansions is they never feel like it's something that's been lived in or something that could be lived in it always looks like something that is just there to look at. Another thing I didn't like wasn't that first open shower/bath bathtub was completely pointless there the whole point of a bathtub is to sit and relax and kind of enjoy The view and as much as that guy went on and on about the view that bathtub was not seeing it. I also really like the natural stuff that's inside of the house. And the house does close completely for the most part. But there is open parts that are partially exposed 100% of the time.
No dude. It was fucking awful. So many insects, coyotes, and snakes would get in. There would be insects just swarming you, unless there are none to speak of in Vegas. Also, there's absolutely NO privacy in any of the bathrooms. Also, why the hell would you have a kitchen in the bathroom?
@@anakinlowground5515 In vegas we don’t really have an insect problem at all really but coyotes and snakes especially in the desert ya you are fucked if you have a small dog
Yeah, this one is legit attractive to me. I could do without all the tubs everywhere and the more extravagant bits and would probably close off some of the more open spaces to improve coziness but overall it's a sick pad. But I'm also heavily biased towards desert aesthetics and bringing the outdoors indoors so lol. Although I wouldn't like the view of the other mansions below me, I think it'd be better if the surrounding area was just more desert with the cityscape in the background.
One thing I gotta say: keeping invasive plants to a minimum is a good thing because lawns are an ecological disaster. This doesn't mean you need to use all the pointy ones though.
Imagine having so much money that every piece of furniture has to have deep lore I bought my end table because there was a good deal at a local yard sale and it only had minimum scratches. 😐
you misunderstand! clearly the table you bought was the eldritch colossus eternal table of the highest order that is several milennias old! surely you know the scratches that adorned the ancient oakwood surface was the slam marks of beer kegs and the carvings from crusader's noble broadswords from many celebrations of victory aging from many eras bygone? relish your purchase! For now you may dine among seats of kings and fair maidens of yore that once called that table their hearth.
Here is my table’s history,Long ago my table was just some atom in the universe,but when earth was created or something it turned into some random ass resources,and then someone made it into a table.
I kinda like it not gonna lie, not too into the fuzzy dining chairs but the breakfast stools do warm the room up and I like the pattern on the seats. I think what she means by 'masculine' is the design term for sharp edges and high contrast between dark and light. When you add smooth edges or warmer, colourful tones it usually is described as 'feminine'. It goes way back and it's silly but it's just how the language around interior design developed. I'm a designer so this pretentiousness is the best shorthand way to describe it for suppliers, builders, sellers etc.
I liked the stools too. The materials and lines were definitely manly. She didn't really connect what she meant about the aging leather and the previous owner of the land but it sounded like she saw something of his that had aged well and wanted that element for herself over time.
Yea i actually kinda like that green chair, maybe because i love green, but the overall house is not bad, even though its totally not my taste, it actually had some characters, i think charlie is abit harsh on this one
@@kombuchas4684 No one outside of interior designers knows the terms though and I like interior design. It'd be like a mechanic getting frustrated at someone not knowing what a transmitter does or what horsepower means, you have to be aware not everyone knows it by heart
found out recently that me and charlie went to the same college and I can confirm that the shitty building with the minarets isn't being haunted by anything besides business majors and termites
Actually now that I think about it, how do those mansions prevent insects and animals from coming inside? Even 1 damn wasp is annoying as hell, those open spaces are always going to have flying and crawling insects inside.
@@brandon9172 Some insects aren't bad, but in the desert you can have things like scorpions, gila monsters, wasps, tarantulas, not to mention black widows. All of which are dangerous and will seek shelter and shade in the sun.
If I had $25mil to spend on a home I’d just get a normal looking one story house and then have a semi-luxurious doomsday bunker underneath that’s basically the same as the actual house above.
@@shrimblo2932 Yeah, same here. I would love to have a bunker under my house, y'know, like a batcave. There would be secret entrance, and inside you would find a high end gaming station, a movie theater, an arcade room. God, that would be so sick.
the house looks perfect for one I would build in Minecraft with one of those photorealistic ray tracing 8K texture packs, extreme lighting and scenes but now it just seems like someone copy pasted it into real life and it can't be appreciated as such anymore, so weird
I have installed multi-room home theater system in several McMansions. Oodles of 'new money' with lots to prove and little taste. The hardest part of the job was keeping a straight face as the client rattled off a list of contradictory 'essential elements' "I want a room totally isolated from all radio waves. A Faraday cage where my brain can take refuge from the entire electromagnetic spectrum!" "Also, it it's not too much trouble, I need a T1 line, WiFi, intercom, speakers and a plasma-screen TV covering the entire east wall. By Friday." "Oh, cell-phone reception better be perfect in there, or I'm not gonna pay!" Names were changed to protect the stupid, but Big Sports™ money and celebrity endorsements bought the house.
@@saturn6784 I assume u haven't watched better call saul before think... big cage that blocks all eletromagnetic signals from entering said cage. You then can enter said cage to take a break and 'cleanse' yourself from all things electric simplified but good enough of an example. edit: if you knew what it was but was just shocked it was a request, again, i assume u haven't watched better call saul lol. some people really do fear the damage it 'can do' to our bodies
Tbh I absolutely love the concept of that house, with nature integrated into every part of the house inside and out, but of all the places in the world to build a house with this much nature integration and stuff they build it in the most boring lifeless places on earth? A god damn desert? I'd be in love with this kind of house if it was anywhere else but a damn dessert. The mountains, the Forrest, the coastline. Anywhere would make it so much more beautiful than a desert, not necessarily Vegas, just any desert is such a shitty place to have made that house
That moment when you're showering in the outdoor shower and a gust of wind blows away your loofah so now you're staring at the reflection of the cactus 2 cm behind you and suddenly you get an itch on your back
This is a shame to me. Deserts in the western US, to me, are beautiful, just as much as the forests and mountains. They’re a different kind of pretty, and in winter when everything’s dormant it can look pretty dull, but it’s really pretty out there. Golden sand and rock with patchy, vibrant greens and a deep blue sky-and the sunrises/sunsets are unforgettable. Deserts are chock full of life and beauty!
Maybe it's just a 'grass is always greener' thing, so to speak, but I think deserts look really cool. Blew my mind to learn that saguaros routinely make it to 150, 200 years old, and most pictures really don't convey just how massive they can get. Really want to see some in person one day.
Lifeless? Oh there’d be plenty of life crawling around that house in no time. Not just running into the occasional scorpion or spider, but the fact they could easily nest up under some of the rocks and plants in your house if not kept up with. Not to mention the other problems this mansion would have to deal with like sand and extreme heat, especially since it’s built to let natural light in so even with ac, it’ll turn into a sauna in there.
If you look at one room of these mansions it will look absolutely sick 95% of the time but then when you think about what it would be like to actually live in the mansion you realize how much it would suck.
It’s just a bunch of wasted space. Especially when there is usually just one single person or a couple that live in them. They’re usually not even home. There’s only like 3 beds. If I had infinite wealth I would make one of these mansions to fit my 15 adopted children and cats lmao. Why have all that space and aesthetic with no one to enjoy it?
Charlie complains about some of these houses being "isolated" and "completely cut off from society". How is that a bad thing? I fucking HATE people. I would love a place with no-one around.
Single handedly keeping the cactus industry going. I get some people love putting plants everywhere in their house but filling a house with cacti? Charlie is right, if you get wasted imagine just falling over into a cactus
I assume their target demographic isn't going to live in that mansion. I can't see how anyone can actually live there and start a family in the middle of a desert.
I wouldn't mind I love cacti. Grow a ton of them. The only reason I would move to the desert is because it's perfect for growing cacti. Also half these cacti are san pedro which contain mescaline like peyote lol. Could boil a foot cutting and have an amazing trip.
I seriously wonder what kind of sadistic psycopath would think surrounding an entire mansion with cactus as if you are setting up a natural trap house would be good. Like,why even cactus in the first place?
Sorry to ruin everything but, clearly u never been to Nevada bc when monsoons or sandstorms occur if one window or door is left open ur house is fucked, also during summer it'll be 110 degrees outside so half of the house will be a grill, and thanks to the pools mosquitos and wasps will invade the home and make it a breeding ground. not to mention the fact that coyotes and scorpions can walk in your house at any moment. oh and one more thing the fucking cactus problem literally u have to walk in a maze while avoiding spikes.
Living in Europe, hearing about "moving a house just by quarter of a mile" sounds alien to me. Guess not building houses out of stone and brick has its advantages.
@@TheTownNarcoleptic you ever see photos of the aftermath of Katrina etc? Loads of the houses are still upright, I mean these things are more than a bundle of sticks. Admittedly there’s probably a fair bit of water damage there, but it’s not at all like anything not built of stone and brick is going to fly away at the first hint of wind.
The bigger issue is all the contractors building homes out of plywood in Cali deserts lol. The wooden houses are alright for storms, not so much fires...
@@levygaming3133 That’s true, but I also forgot to mention another problem I have with this shit: the termites. Imagine an insect problem literally compromising the structural integrity of your home. What the hell are you supposed to do about that? If you can afford to build a house out of bricks, use bricks! Honestly!
@@TheTownNarcoleptic you can get your wood “treated” for termites, it uses some chemical that poisons the termite before they can do to much damage. Also, drywall construction is wildly cheaper. Price per square foot of brick I found was 2 to five dollars for most brick with the only one listed with siding as an application starting at 6.50, and I assume siding here means exterior walls. Drywall comes in at around 50 cents per square foot, or 1 to 3 dollars *with installation included* . Finally, drywall does have a lot of advantages. It’s fairly transparent to rf, at least compared to brick, so it’s easy enough to get WiFi coverage for the full house. Also easier to alter as a homeowner, wether that’s just drilling holes to route wires through the hollow interiors of the walls, or completely knocking out an interior wall to create a more “open” living space, because the wall itself isn’t load bearing, just some posts inside it are. Edit: forgot to mention, my parents house actually has a termite problem. You wanna know the extent of the damage? They got at one (1) of the baseboards, a tiny interior trim piece that goes up against the drywall and the floor. Pretty sure that because it was an interior piece, it wasn’t treated for termites.
An interesting to note is that most of the people who own these mansions dont spend much time enjoying them. Seen quite a few interviews from people talking about never even touching the pool. They either only use the bedroom and if anything gets used its the family while they are not traveling. So many of the cons would barely be noticed when your not actively using anything like a normal person in thier home
Charlie isnt catching that its free, because you have to move it. This actually happens a lot... Someone wants the lot but doesnt want the house. So instead of demolishing a perfectly good house, especially an old historic one like this one, they try and get someone to move it. But to move a mansion cost exactly what they said it would, or more... if you can even find someone to do it. Then you have to have somewhere to move it to that will allow you to place it. Yet again, thats a feat better spoken about than actually obtained. Now, if it was "The house is free, you don thave to move it but you dont own the land except for a tiny easement strip around the outside... Someone would snatch that shit up in a heartbeat. But compounding the fact that you have to find someone to move it to a lot you already own that doesnt have any ordinances involving house relocations (a LOT of places are "new development only") and THEN the cost of inspecting and repairing anything that broke in the move... THEN remodeling it to make it updated as you would want to do. Its... its just not worth it.
15:36 WTF is that bannister on the stairs? It's like the developers raided a construction site for their wire mesh security panels and used them on the stairs. 19:11 A Dishwasher next to the bath? Why? And rocks surrounding the bath too? Double why?
9:50 I had RELATIVES like a great grandfather I believe live in a lighthouse almost EXACTLY like that. They needed 2 horses to haul the supplies up from the boat. One time a rope broke when waves hit the supply box or something strange and KILLED a horse.

16:44 "Does it ever get windy in Las Vegas?" YES. YES IT DOES. We get high winds, spontaneous rain, and the temperatures drops by 630 so in case you ever visit always brings a jacket. People forget how cold it gets out here. Also our weather has bipolar disorder.
i actually love the idea of making indoors look like the outdoors however... you gotta do it right obviously and practical and not just a bunch of empty space hahaa
As an MD, I actually cringe every time I hear this bs about "oh it releases toxins". I don't even have to know the rest of the story, they're always bs. Plus if you're so worried about VOCs, please replace all the surfaces and inner structures of your house since they're not built with the same thoughts in mind. "But mah child sleeps in it". Yeah, and your child breathes the same air that's in your house. Google what the first letter in VOC stands for and think again.
My cousin from China bought a whole castle in France for next to nothing and he got well along with the neighboring village and its mayor so they helped him set up a vineyard and everything, now he's part of the local winemaking association and the place is doing really well. :D
Never mind the wildlife, what about people getting in? Even if you can close down everything in that Vegas mansion, the place is so massive that there's got to be plenty of blindspots to sneak in even if people are at home and have just left shit open. No way you can have eyes on everywhere in a property that looks like its built to accommodate 100 guests. Also, severe lack of doors? Don't mind me I'm just going for a bath in my hallway tub

Yeah I agree. I hate how nowadays there is an obsession with the ultra "minimalist" pastel aesthetic with abstract art sculptures. I don't get it. Definitely not something I'd want in a home. Ashley's is more homey to me.

You try to run but end up slamming into a cactus
In the crevice of the sliding doors too, which seem to be filled with rocks...
Y’all find any reason to complain
The $25M mansion is not even that bad, its just the fact that there’s like no doors and everything is open. You get one dust storm or one monsoon and your whole house interior is absolutely ruined. Not to mention this guy is using way more water than he should with massive lawns, three pools, and infinite plants in a place suffering with drought
well its los angeles so none of thats happening.
@@kraftyboi except for the drought. That's true.
@@kraftyboi It’s actually Las Vegas
@@kraftyboi Which one was in Los Angeles? The cacti CoD map was in Las Vegas.
Well, no doors, so that means no air conditioning, and I feel like it would get so hot in the summer. All sorts of animals could get in, and not to mention the amount of insects that would swarm you. It would be absolutely awful.
Fun fact: While VOCs are real a lot of them are also used in the house. So buying a non-toxic crib is usually worthless unless you can also ensure your house also lacks those compounds which for 99% of people they can't do.
Fun fact: proximity to exposure makes a difference, and less toxic chemicals is objectively better than more of them.
@@pellabologna especially when you are like a baby.
The fact that Charlie's burps, coincided with Ashley laughing, was a coincidental masterpiece

He was just flirting with her..
Ikr lol
As someone from Vegas, here are my points;
1. It's literally over 100 degrees Fahrenheit most of the year, having so much natural lighting means your house will be unbearably hot, even with AC blasting.
2. Yes, there is wind, especially at higher elevations. What'll be worse, though, is monsoon season and dust storms.
3. Since we've been in a drought for decades, there's a mandatory watering schedule and some restrictions on how much you're supposed to use. It's too expensive for some people to water their lawns, so desert landscaping (i.e., cacti, desert shrubs, rocks, etc) is super popular. Not sure why they did that with the cacti but then included THREE WATER FEATURES, but I guess that explains what all the money went to.
I don't envy the year-round heat or heavy water restrictions, but I wish desert landscaping worked where I live. I love how big cacti can get in their natural environments.
@@aepigeons9375 where do you live?
@@astrangeodor
Quebec... with winter windchill, -30 Celsius/-22 Fahrenheit isn't uncommon. Happen to have family in Canada's one semi-arid desert region, but it's at the other end of the country.
Also the water will be a breeding ground for mosquitoes. Wildlife has a high chance at getting in (especially since it’s near/in the mountains area) and every other year we get those swarms of locusts that cake everything.. clearly this house was made by someone who doesn’t/never lived in Las Vegas cause this house is not at all ideal for our environment.. the only thing that makes sense is the cactus because by the time the summer is over that’s the only thing that would have survived in and on the house
When rich people try to be environmentally friendly
Charlie's cactus paranoia with that one house is hilarious lmao
My favorite part of that “pool” is when the needles fall off of the cactus into the water and you get to enjoy them being stabbed into the bottom of your palms and feet as you crawl like a crab around the shallow failure.
How the hell do you clean that nightmare?
@@if7723 drain the pool and vacuum i guess. Buying a house like this means you can afford a cleaning service
oh my god that sounds awful
@@jebaited9612 actually there is a vacuum pool cleaners use to vaccuum the floor while the pool is still full. All pools tend to get some form of sediment settled on the bottom either bc wind blows stuff into the pool and it settles down at the bottom, or the ppl who own it go barefoot, get their feet dirty and wash it off by going in the pool. Having to drain and clean a pool every single time it's a little dirty would be wasting water, most of the time it's only done if the pool has not been cleaned in a loooong time
I have a feeling the they removed the needles from the cacti but I’m not sure.
I'm so glad I grew up poor and became comfortable with not obsessing over numbers and bling while still recognizing the importance of working towards being a responsible adult.
This is literally something I would create in SIMS after discovering the money cheat code for the first time.
Same here. Idk if it's just bc I grew up (partly) in a 2 bed, 1 bath apartment, but I can't imagine living in giant houses like these. I feel like they're so big and open that someone could just hide out and live there with you and you wouldn't even realize. Maybe I'm paranoid, but I'd take a small and secure studio any day.
I'd literally throw a cot/futon in the warehouse Charlie owns and be happy
Huge mansion full of wasps, dust, stones, cati/pins, flies and stuff because the designer/architect thought having an open concept in 100+ degrees was a good idea
With the toxic cribs thing, basically all furniture materials used by major producers give off some type of particulate. Usually not an issue because at least 90% of people are not babies and have more developed immune and respiratory systems that fight against them. It’s not even really an issue for most babies, but some children with pre-existing conditions do need non toxic cribs
Also, those gasses will only come off in non-trivial quantities when you burn the coatings
People tend to forget that babies lick and suck on everything including cribs
Its actually just for Jack Jack when he sets himself on fire. Can't have him inhaling phenols now can we?
True but for example phtalates are endocrine disruptors and in many cases enter the body through skin or pass the immune system check. And they are dangerous for everyone because exposure can cause cancer and fertility issues. I think the damage depends on the amount but since you oeple are exposed to those daily, it's good to eliminate the sources you know of and have control over.
@@saal0 man I don't want toxic gases coming off a baby crib in any quantities,I feel like that should be an important thing for a parent to put their foot down on
As a Californian, I give her credit. We're in a drought so she chose to decorate with desert plants and rocks instead of a huge water guzzling grass lawn with flowers. My neighbor is environmentally conscious and does the same. The state of California also gives you a tax refund for not having a grass lawn.
California will buy you needles and crack pipes too!

Yeah, this is the problem I have with these "modern architecture" stuff and all of this overthink that often goes into home decoration and stuff. Even before that awful mansion showed up, these uncomfortable chairs in the Ashley's house segment, they're so overthought and unnecessarily complicated, which made them almost useless since they're so uncomfortable.

I've lived in Las Vegas for most of my life and I can't imagine who would want to have those giant windows open in the summer when it's 110+ degrees. He says that you'd get a nice breeze but it's like standing in an oven when it's windy. I'd say the outdoor areas will be essentially unusable for at least four months of the year unless there's some sort of covering.
why not tint the windows?

To be fair at least she’s way more personable than anyone else in these kinds of videos.
My favorite house tour was Dakota Johnson; For those who don't know, I guess her house had been professionally staged for the house tour but she hadn't seen the staging, and when she went to give the tour of the kitchen there were two huge bowls full of limes on the counter next to the sink. She got so thrown off by them being there that she hyperfixated on them and went off about how much she loved limes and how great limes were. Then she started showing off some other stuff that was probably just staged for the tour.
She later revealed in an interview that she's actually mildly allergic to limes.

I actually liked the overall look/feel of this. Only thing that I hate about these giant super mansions is they never feel like it's something that's been lived in or something that could be lived in it always looks like something that is just there to look at.
Another thing I didn't like wasn't that first open shower/bath bathtub was completely pointless there the whole point of a bathtub is to sit and relax and kind of enjoy The view and as much as that guy went on and on about the view that bathtub was not seeing it.
I also really like the natural stuff that's inside of the house. And the house does close completely for the most part. But there is open parts that are partially exposed 100% of the time.
No dude. It was fucking awful. So many insects, coyotes, and snakes would get in. There would be insects just swarming you, unless there are none to speak of in Vegas. Also, there's absolutely NO privacy in any of the bathrooms. Also, why the hell would you have a kitchen in the bathroom?

One thing I gotta say: keeping invasive plants to a minimum is a good thing because lawns are an ecological disaster.

That's your deep lore bro
you misunderstand! clearly the table you bought was the eldritch colossus eternal table of the highest order that is several milennias old! surely you know the scratches that adorned the ancient oakwood surface was the slam marks of beer kegs and the carvings from crusader's noble broadswords from many celebrations of victory aging from many eras bygone? relish your purchase! For now you may dine among seats of kings and fair maidens of yore that once called that table their hearth.
Here is my table’s history,Long ago my table was just some atom in the universe,but when earth was created or something it turned into some random ass resources,and then someone made it into a table.
I kinda like it not gonna lie, not too into the fuzzy dining chairs but the breakfast stools do warm the room up and I like the pattern on the seats. I think what she means by 'masculine' is the design term for sharp edges and high contrast between dark and light. When you add smooth edges or warmer, colourful tones it usually is described as 'feminine'. It goes way back and it's silly but it's just how the language around interior design developed. I'm a designer so this pretentiousness is the best shorthand way to describe it for suppliers, builders, sellers etc.
I liked the stools too. The materials and lines were definitely manly. She didn't really connect what she meant about the aging leather and the previous owner of the land but it sounded like she saw something of his that had aged well and wanted that element for herself over time.
yeah Charlie missed the mark on this one. Masculine and feminine are very common way to describe spaces in interior design

This is a shame to me. Deserts in the western US, to me, are beautiful, just as much as the forests and mountains. They’re a different kind of pretty, and in winter when everything’s dormant it can look pretty dull, but it’s really pretty out there. Golden sand and rock with patchy, vibrant greens and a deep blue sky-and the sunrises/sunsets are unforgettable. Deserts are chock full of life and beauty!
Maybe it's just a 'grass is always greener' thing, so to speak, but I think deserts look really cool. Blew my mind to learn that saguaros routinely make it to 150, 200 years old, and most pictures really don't convey just how massive they can get. Really want to see some in person one day.
Lifeless? Oh there’d be plenty of life crawling around that house in no time. Not just running into the occasional scorpion or spider, but the fact they could easily nest up under some of the rocks and plants in your house if not kept up with. Not to mention the other problems this mansion would have to deal with like sand and extreme heat, especially since it’s built to let natural light in so even with ac, it’ll turn into a sauna in there.
If you look at one room of these mansions it will look absolutely sick 95% of the time but then when you think about what it would be like to actually live in the mansion you realize how much it would suck.
It’s just a bunch of wasted space. Especially when there is usually just one single person or a couple that live in them. They’re usually not even home. There’s only like 3 beds. If I had infinite wealth I would make one of these mansions to fit my 15 adopted children and cats lmao. Why have all that space and aesthetic with no one to enjoy it?
Charlie complains about some of these houses being "isolated" and "completely cut off from society".
How is that a bad thing?
I fucking HATE people.
I would love a place with no-one around.
Absolutely. I'd love a property with enough space to get into crafts, like blacksmithing, without neighbors filling a noise complaint.
Then when you suffer a stroke, got robbed or murdered no one will be able to help you or find your body for days
That's a you problem, most people despise isolation.
@@The_Queen_of_Hellyeah, that's very important to consider.
It would take forever to go out get groceries and come back since ur so far from civilisation
That random bathtub outside really makes it seem like a house someone designed on Sims
Single handedly keeping the cactus industry going. I get some people love putting plants everywhere in their house but filling a house with cacti?
Charlie is right, if you get wasted imagine just falling over into a cactus
I assume their target demographic isn't going to live in that mansion. I can't see how anyone can actually live there and start a family in the middle of a desert.
Pog
I wouldn't mind I love cacti. Grow a ton of them. The only reason I would move to the desert is because it's perfect for growing cacti. Also half these cacti are san pedro which contain mescaline like peyote lol. Could boil a foot cutting and have an amazing trip.
Cacti are an interesting plant. idk why people seem to hate them here. 😂
I seriously wonder what kind of sadistic psycopath would think surrounding an entire mansion with cactus as if you are setting up a natural trap house would be good. Like,why even cactus in the first place?
I love that cacti house, it would be like living in the wing of a natural history museum, which has always been a dream of mine.
Sorry to ruin everything but, clearly u never been to Nevada bc when monsoons or sandstorms occur if one window or door is left open ur house is fucked, also during summer it'll be 110 degrees outside so half of the house will be a grill, and thanks to the pools mosquitos and wasps will invade the home and make it a breeding ground. not to mention the fact that coyotes and scorpions can walk in your house at any moment. oh and one more thing the fucking cactus problem literally u have to walk in a maze while avoiding spikes.
You won’t love the bugs
Living in Europe, hearing about "moving a house just by quarter of a mile" sounds alien to me. Guess not building houses out of stone and brick has its advantages.
Whenever I see wooden houses built on the coast in America I start having a bloody aneurysm. How the hell is that gonna fare in a storm, people?!
@@TheTownNarcoleptic you ever see photos of the aftermath of Katrina etc? Loads of the houses are still upright, I mean these things are more than a bundle of sticks. Admittedly there’s probably a fair bit of water damage there, but it’s not at all like anything not built of stone and brick is going to fly away at the first hint of wind.
The bigger issue is all the contractors building homes out of plywood in Cali deserts lol. The wooden houses are alright for storms, not so much fires...
@@levygaming3133 That’s true, but I also forgot to mention another problem I have with this shit: the termites. Imagine an insect problem literally compromising the structural integrity of your home. What the hell are you supposed to do about that? If you can afford to build a house out of bricks, use bricks! Honestly!
@@TheTownNarcoleptic you can get your wood “treated” for termites, it uses some chemical that poisons the termite before they can do to much damage.
Also, drywall construction is wildly cheaper. Price per square foot of brick I found was 2 to five dollars for most brick with the only one listed with siding as an application starting at 6.50, and I assume siding here means exterior walls. Drywall comes in at around 50 cents per square foot, or 1 to 3 dollars *with installation included* .
Finally, drywall does have a lot of advantages. It’s fairly transparent to rf, at least compared to brick, so it’s easy enough to get WiFi coverage for the full house. Also easier to alter as a homeowner, wether that’s just drilling holes to route wires through the hollow interiors of the walls, or completely knocking out an interior wall to create a more “open” living space, because the wall itself isn’t load bearing, just some posts inside it are.
Edit: forgot to mention, my parents house actually has a termite problem. You wanna know the extent of the damage? They got at one (1) of the baseboards, a tiny interior trim piece that goes up against the drywall and the floor. Pretty sure that because it was an interior piece, it wasn’t treated for termites.
Imagine the disarray that cactus mansion would be in if even a single sandstorm rolled through
An interesting to note is that most of the people who own these mansions dont spend much time enjoying them. Seen quite a few interviews from people talking about never even touching the pool. They either only use the bedroom and if anything gets used its the family while they are not traveling. So many of the cons would barely be noticed when your not actively using anything like a normal person in thier home
4:18 Wait, wait, WAIT. Their child's name is Jupiter?
Charlie isnt catching that its free, because you have to move it. This actually happens a lot... Someone wants the lot but doesnt want the house. So instead of demolishing a perfectly good house, especially an old historic one like this one, they try and get someone to move it. But to move a mansion cost exactly what they said it would, or more... if you can even find someone to do it. Then you have to have somewhere to move it to that will allow you to place it. Yet again, thats a feat better spoken about than actually obtained.
Now, if it was "The house is free, you don thave to move it but you dont own the land except for a tiny easement strip around the outside... Someone would snatch that shit up in a heartbeat. But compounding the fact that you have to find someone to move it to a lot you already own that doesnt have any ordinances involving house relocations (a LOT of places are "new development only") and THEN the cost of inspecting and repairing anything that broke in the move... THEN remodeling it to make it updated as you would want to do. Its... its just not worth it.
Ashley laughing at Charlie at 4:12 as he burps is peak comedy
Do any of the people that design these mansions actually live inside of a home? Because they are convincing me that they do not.
4:03 I feel you there charlie
15:36 WTF is that bannister on the stairs? It's like the developers raided a construction site for their wire mesh security panels and used them on the stairs.
19:11 A Dishwasher next to the bath? Why? And rocks surrounding the bath too? Double why?
The random bathtub in the hallway (?) just why.
You'll have to sell the mansion just to pay for the hospital bills after staying there a week.
sorry for the bots being the first to your comment, man.
@ForgiveZharion ratio bozo
As someone who lives in Las Vegas I would hate living in that mansion. One dust storm and it's over. Literally walking into Byakuya's bankai 💀💀
9:50 I had RELATIVES like a great grandfather I believe live in a lighthouse almost EXACTLY like that. They needed 2 horses to haul the supplies up from the boat. One time a rope broke when waves hit the supply box or something strange and KILLED a horse. It was a lighthouse on a rock with a TERRIBLE steep drop but some type of steep angle structure to bring up a sled on with the supplies in a box on the sled.
The first floor of the Vegas mansion looks like a Tower defense level, where they lined the walls to kill the incoming creeps
7:00 this is what I feed to my dog as a treat, have you seen the slime these things are coated in 😭
16:44
"Does it ever get windy in Las Vegas?"
YES. YES IT DOES. We get high winds, spontaneous rain, and the temperatures drops by 630 so in case you ever visit always brings a jacket. People forget how cold it gets out here. Also our weather has bipolar disorder.
i actually love the idea of making indoors look like the outdoors however... you gotta do it right obviously and practical and not just a bunch of empty space hahaa
ashley seemed really passionate abt interior design so i respect her house even tho its not my style

The timing of the burp and her giving a little shocked side look and nervous giggle was impeccable.
As an MD, I actually cringe every time I hear this bs about "oh it releases toxins". I don't even have to know the rest of the story, they're always bs.
Plus if you're so worried about VOCs, please replace all the surfaces and inner structures of your house since they're not built with the same thoughts in mind. "But mah child sleeps in it". Yeah, and your child breathes the same air that's in your house. Google what the first letter in VOC stands for and think again.
Damn, imagine living in any of those open mansions during a sandstorm
So open, you might as well be homeless. Don't need 25 million to do that.
You're poor, you drink water.
I'm rich, I invest in cacti.
Tell me who's at risk when a drought comes along 😎
My cousin from China bought a whole castle in France for next to nothing and he got well along with the neighboring village and its mayor so they helped him set up a vineyard and everything, now he's part of the local winemaking association and the place is doing really well. :D
Never mind the wildlife, what about people getting in? Even if you can close down everything in that Vegas mansion, the place is so massive that there's got to be plenty of blindspots to sneak in even if people are at home and have just left shit open. No way you can have eyes on everywhere in a property that looks like its built to accommodate 100 guests. Also, severe lack of doors? Don't mind me I'm just going for a bath in my hallway tub
