Such happy, warm memories of a time when television was family friendly! Watching with my grandparents each week. I am watching all seasons of the show on Hulu now. Life was great back then. Miss shows like the Beverly Hillbillies, Petticoat Junction, Green Acres, Gilligans Island, Brady Bunch, Partridge Family, Bewitched and I Dream of Jeanie💜
Growing up watching “The Beverly Hillbillies”, I thought this was the most beautiful home in the world. After watching this video of the actual home....I know it is. Just stunning...and the grounds go on forever
The place goes on, and on, and on. Simply stunning grounds. The planner, most certainly, has traveled the world for garden ideas and the most beautiful grounds I have ever seen.
The property itself has expanded since the show was filmed. Surrounding properties were purchased and redeveloped over the years, expanding the property to around 10 acres.
Took me back in time. What happy days those were. As a child i would dream of being Ellie May ad luving there. I was 7 at the time. In 1986 i was able to go visit the mansion on a tour bus. Really didnt realize how big it was. Now at my age now i see this and think i wouldnt be able to make it from upstairs to kitchen without resting. What a beautiful piece of history. Ive also grown to realize a home is what you make out of it. Just needs family kids and grandkids and of corse amazing friends.
Unbelievable! Absolutely stunning! The two things that immediately come to my mind is I wonder how much the yearly taxes are on something like that and how many staff does it take to keep it in such impeccable order? The landscaping alone had to have cost many millions! It certainly is breathtaking!
Most of today's Hollywood elite have no taste or class. This is a beautiful home and d deserves to be preserved. It has been updated extensively since the 1960s and even more since it was built in the 1920s.
One of hte best jokes ever on the show-Episode 2. DRYSDALE" It was built by John Berrymore...one of our finest actors. JED: Pretty fair stone mason too! BRILLIANT Mr. Henning!
i always wondered who was playing that beautiful chord melody on guitar, when i was a kid. it sounds something like les paul or johnny smith would play. the music is ran at a higher speed and the guitars are playing in the stratosphere. especially the lead guitar playing the arpeggios. very beautiful
I heard people actually came wanting to meet Jed,Granny,Jethro and Elly May.That was why they wouldn't allow the place to be used in the show after the third season.Nice touch using music from the show.I always liked Elly May's theme.
My favorite house in America since childhood. I wish they would have shown the tunnel that goes from the pool to the wooded garden side of the back garden. The elevator helps anyone arrive at the lower level - this "under 80" year old would gladly move in and be the steward for the next generation of owners.
I remember that elevator and a kitchenette near the pool. This was in the mid 50s and there was a "walk in" play house for the family's daughter. Glad to see that it is still there.
and the haunts from the best days of my life came flooding back as I watched their home and what was my home too because I spent everyday of my childhood life (tv) with them. so glad they made a joke out of being millionaires. maybe other millionaires oughta follow their footsteps. make the world a better place. thanx for the memories.
Stunningly beautiful it would take a fortune just for the upkeep outside on the grounds and another small fortune just to take care of the upkeep of the house, but it sure is beautiful
Yes, but this is Mansion and Estate living.....you only live once and i remember clients of ours with Grande Lifestyles....fortunate and wise investors...The Stamp Estate i restored in 1984....outside of Wheeling, 36 acres of exactly this.....did it in 3 months....
They didn't have a maid or cook, poor granny had to clean that whole place herself, and tend to the grounds too. But she had a lot of spunk, so she handled it.
Interesting that although the house had 34 rooms, granny was always trying to get Jethro to dig her a 16 foot deep underground cellar where she could spend some alone time.
Thank you for posting. Always wondered what the interior actually looked like! I've read that a man built this house as a gift to his wife. He took her to the house, telling her they were going to a party, when she walked, in she thought it was too much, and wondered who would live in such a place.
I wouldn't complain ever again about nothing if my husband gave me something like this . But I guess she didnt realize it was going to be their's , so I give her that .
Mike Follis, Lol....what a funny story! I was a chauffeur for the Pritzkers in Chicago....the first time i dropped them off in one of their mansions i was confused....the big gates opened and there were two homes right there...one on the right and one on the left........they told me to pull over to the one on the left. I asked why two homes.....they said " oh these are the maids quarters originally, but we prefer to stay in this because the main house is way too much for us" As i looked ahead in the distace across the huge lake i saw the MONSTER HOUSE, and knew what they were talking about!
When I was a kid (and very poor) I loved this show to dream and escape. I always thought if the Hillbillies can have this I could. It's America isn't it? Loved the video thanks for sharing and memories flooded me when seeing it just like it was 1965 all over again.
Suzie Paris yes indeed, that music fit Ellie May and her critters perfectly. They sure dont make sitcoms like that nowadays. Nothing is funny, everything is trashy.
Suzie Paris ... Yes, that is the perfect music for lovely Elly May as she elegantly comes down the stairs or out by the pool aka the cement pond. Donna Douglas was the perfect choice for Elly May 👱🏻♀️👗👠👖🥿🍃🌸🌺
The reason all of you remember it looking different is because only the front of the mannsion was used in the first season. The interior and the cement pond were all sets on a sound stage. After season 1 the front was even on a stage, because the owners would not let them film there anymore.
They only filmed in what, 5 rooms? The main foyer, the sitting room, the billiard room, the kitchen and an occasional bedroom. All that was sound stage. The cement pond and front drive were sound stage as well.
Ellie Mae’s theme music does remind me of Les Paul also but it was Perry Botkin Sr. that is responsible for this great tune. I’ve always loved the Jazzy chord progressions in this theme song.
I went there in 1971 for the first time. Back then, the house was visible from Bel Air Road. It was extremely exciting to drive up Bel Air Road and thrilling to drive up the road and when I got to 750, turn right and stop at the original driveway just like what we saw on the TV series. Years later, the new owner reconfigured the entry so no one could see the house from the road.
JED: Do you think I should move Pearl? PEARL: Your 8 miles from your nearest neighbors, your over run with skunks, possum, coyotes, bobcats, your using kerosene lamps for lights, cook on a wood stove summer and winter, you drink homemade moonshine, washing with homemade lye soap and your bathroom is 50 feet from your house and your asking if you should move! JED: Yea....your right,....a man would be a dang fool to leave all this!
They didn't show Granny's kitchen. I know hers was on set, but hey, it would have been nice to see the mansion one anyway. I can still hear her hollerin'... JED!
I know , that would have been great to see . I use to think that the house really looked like that on the inside when I was growing up. I remember having dreams about this house too when I was a little girl. I dreamed that my grandparents lived there . LOL!! I wish that would've really happened . 😉
David Richards ... how about some hoot owl pie or baked possum with gopher gravy and a mess of black- eyed peas and turnip greens and cornbread on the fancy eatin table
I still remembering looking through Granny's kitchen into the laundry room. Seeing the folded linens over the washer and dryer. That scene always made me feel like that could have been my house.
I kept saying, I want to see the cement pond, and FINALLY, they came to it. I had to laugh, because it didn't look like the cement pond on the show. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
when the Beverly Hillbilies was filmed (1962-71) the show's creator Paul Henning was able to rent filming the exteriors of the mansion for $500/week on the condition that the mansion's address was never revealed-however fans of the show soon figured out where the property was located
Absolutely love this estate. I could just imagine the maintenance and tax cost yearly. I guess if you can afford the property you not too concerned with that though. Love the old world charm of the place. I would never leave.The gardens are gorgeous.
I know. And with California taxes, and the upkeep and the utility bills, jeez, you'd go broke in less than a year. But, it might be worth it to live the fantasy for a little bit of that unbelievably beautiful house and walking the trails and enjoying all the water features. Wow!!
Thanks so much for posting! This is why love RUclips! I've adored that house since I was a 5 year old watching reruns in 1971 and this by far is the best views I've ever seen of it! One thing that puzzles me...why tear up a perfectly good drive way for wat appears to be a dirt road? That something the Clampetts would do!
They closed the front gate, and put up a big wall in front - partly because of this show, crowds came to stare through the gates. Then they bought the house and lot next door, and bulldozed it. A new road was put through the lot over the site of the house, so the front drive now comes in to the estate sideways, runs between the new wall and the old gate, then turns in to the gate. Why it seems to be a dirt road, I don’t know. Maybe it looks less harsh going through the woods.
Wow...yes, growing up watching TBH.. that was a dream house in my youth.. lol. Stunningly gorgeous today, with breathtaking gardens! It really is another world, without leaving at all. Oh.. and I just love the "cement pond". :D :D
The cascade fountain bordered by shrubs (6:31) was inspired by an almost duplicate water feature on Harold Lloyd's estate in Beverly Hills. His huge estate was lost after his death when the heirs had to sell off most of the 16 acres, and keep only 5 acres and the mansion which is now in other hands. That water feature I think was destroyed by the developers of the sold off property.
It's very possible they never set foot inside. The Brady Bunch kids never were inside the house shown on the original TV series until just recently when the house was sold.
I live in a 600 sq. ft. apt with one closet, I'm trying to muster the energy after working my 40+ week to clean and do my laundry (small space, have to keep clean an organized).... LOL. Maintaining this home would be a full time job in itself.
If you have that much money....you dont touch a thing...maids...butlers...chauffeurs.....groundskeepers......it would probably cost 20,000 a month just to maintain the house and pay the employees! Thats not taxes,electric, water, ect..i thi k you need lots of money.....!!!
@@LB-pg3no It takes a different personality from mine to live here. To think some people have multiple palatial estates, sometimes in different countries.
@AI AC God has and continues to bless the great US of A, tell me are liberals like you ever happy or are you perpetually miserable, if you hate it here so much I hear Venezuela is a great place to go live, or how about Cuba?
God's judgment on the USA, you mean, when there's people who live in such ridiculous extravagance while there are people out on the streets without a roof over their heads, dying for lack of shelter. Shameful!
@@denisemayosky1955 It's such a shame people have to get political over an innocent video like this! And it's not just you Denise; there were a few other comments like yours here. I will say that I wouldn't want a home like this if I could afford it. But how do you know a person this rich isn't a great philanthropist who's very merciful to the poor and needy. Would you want the govt. to pass a law capping how much we can earn?! Remember, it's the love if money, not money itself, that is the root of all evil.
I had just gotten my driver’s license. 1968. My girlfriend and I had gone to the farmers market for lunch, a special place for my mom to take me when I was growing up. We decided to buy a map of movie stars homes. They probably don’t even do that any longer. We head up off Sunset Blvd. Just going this way and that. Looking at some addresses, being so amazed by the houses in general. We come up to Bel Air Blvd. The name just caught our eye and for fun we started up the street. As I’m driving I look to the right and see this house. I couldn’t believe it. The gates were massive. The lawn, at least a football field. Unbelievable, it was the Beverly Hillbilly house. Right there. We couldn’t believe it. I still remember our amazement and thrill. You would of thought we had found treasure. We were so excited. Believe me it was impressive.
I left California because of my utility bills. I lived in the San Fernando Valley and my water and power bill hit $1300 with 250sq. Ft. of solar panels 16 years ago. That was the last straw for me. I closed down a business that employed 46 people and went to Idaho. It was one of the smartest things I have ever done.
The pool cues were called pot passers as they sat around the fancy eatin table in the billiard room. And they called the mounted animal heads the billiards.
Y'all can go shoot some golfs and bring back a passel of them golf eggs too! I'll go to the beach and hold off them thar grunions from attackin'. Maybe Elly can help out with that double-barreled slingshot that Miss Jane got her.
I can remember asking my mom(cir. 1970) " will you and daddy have a Beverly Hills house one day?" My adorable and amazingly hard-working mother would just reply of course dear, one day , one day, we will. And then she said I think what's more important is that we have each other right? I will never forget it . I still watch the show on whatever satellite station picks it up. and I love this video
the price on this has been reduced btw. And with the recent transaction of the penthouse at 220 Central Park South by Ken Griffin for $238 Million NY has the new record for highest real estate purchase in US history.
I have seen it from the street, even back when you could actually see the house from the street, and I had no idea it was as big as it is. It is truly a palace.
I'm going to go take a dip in the cement pond. And Granny's kitchen just doesn't look at damn thing like it use to I'm pretty sure she didn't have granite countertops at that time.
It sure is a beautiful home. It has more acreage than I would have thought and it even has a cement pond lol. Would have loved to have seen what the kitchen looked liked.
I wanna go visit so bad! The Beverly hillbillies is one of my favorite shows of all time. I grew up with the movie and recently watched the series and so many times choked myself out laughing. I wish more shows were still like this. I just turned 28 btw

For a moment, I, thought, I posted this message. 😊
It would have been the same words.
Growing up watching “The Beverly Hillbillies”, I thought this was the most beautiful home in the world. After watching this video of the actual home....I know it is. Just stunning...and the grounds go on forever
John D. It recently sold for $150 million to Rupert Murdock's son
I think they just used the outside to film. The inside looked nothing like it did on the show. I think on the show, the inside was a set.
John D I would prefer the house on The Big Valley Show.
@@elainebobier2923 Meeeee to🤙🏻
@@zuesincoming676 you are correct.
I never dreamed it was actually this huge! Stunning!
The place goes on, and on, and on. Simply stunning grounds. The planner, most certainly, has traveled the world for garden ideas and the most beautiful grounds I have ever seen.
I wonder how many gardeners work there full time.
@@sashineb.2114 - It must take an army to keep the place looking like this.
How many of us growing up in the 60s and 70s wanted to live here
I did and I was was born and raised in Burbank, not that far away. Geographically speaking of course.
I'm a 60's baby and this was my dream house and still is.
How I would love to even spend just one night in that mansion!
this IS heaven on earth and mortal words can not describe it. just the maintenance and lawn work alone is worth a large fortune. crazy
Me !!!
Still beautiful to this day.... Classic style and elegance.... Glad it has been preserved and updated... Wonderful grounds as well....
I had no idea the place was this massive.
Jed did say there were 32 rooms in this house!😃
And meanwhile, people are living in shop doorways, and in cardboard boxes? 👎😂
The property itself has expanded since the show was filmed. Surrounding properties were purchased and redeveloped over the years, expanding the property to around 10 acres.
Absolutely gorgeous! Love the landscaping and evening lighting.
Growing up in the 60's, I watched this show often on our television. I smiled the entire time I watched this video. Thanks.
Yeh...the 60s was a great time for us to grow up.
Took me back in time. What happy days those were. As a child i would dream of being Ellie May ad luving there. I was 7 at the time. In 1986 i was able to go visit the mansion on a tour bus.

All true. Of course, if you have that, having it in this big mansion won’t hurt a thing.

The landscaping alone had to have cost many millions! It certainly is breathtaking!
Two. Granny did the housekeeping and Jed did the yard work. 😉
Above my pay grade for sure!
Most of today's Hollywood elite have no taste or class. This is a beautiful home and d deserves to be preserved. It has been updated extensively since the 1960s and even more since it was built in the 1920s.
One of hte best jokes ever on the show-Episode 2. DRYSDALE" It was built by John Berrymore...one of our finest actors. JED: Pretty fair stone mason too! BRILLIANT Mr. Henning!
This estate was actually built in 1935.
Stephen Davis 1920s? geeez I can only imagine what it looked like back then? thanks for sharing
Like who?
Awesome this brings back memories when i was a kid watching this show in the 60s
Yes
i always wondered who was playing that beautiful chord melody on guitar, when i was a kid. it sounds something like les paul or johnny smith would play. the music is ran at a higher speed and the guitars are playing in the stratosphere. especially the lead guitar playing the arpeggios. very beautiful
I heard people actually came wanting to meet Jed,Granny,Jethro and Elly May.That was why they wouldn't allow the place to be used in the show after the third season.Nice touch using music from the show.I always liked Elly May's theme.
I had the opportunity to go inside the mansion many years ago when Mrs.Kirkeby was still alive. Back then it was furnish differently.
One of my favorite shows ever. Loved that show and the people.
My favorite house in America since childhood. I wish they would have shown the tunnel that goes from the pool to the wooded garden side of the back garden. The elevator helps anyone arrive at the lower level - this "under 80" year old would gladly move in and be the steward for the next generation of owners.

Where?
Wow!!! It's got a cement pond!!!!!😍😍😍😍😍😍
Omg Ellie Mae getting into the cement Pond was all about it. LOL
rhonda williams hahahahaha!
rhonda williams Eli Mae bathing suit cement pond!
and a place I can feed them squirrels and possums.
@@geraldbeasley Yeah, but no wood pile. How ya gonna light a fire in the stove to make vittles?
Classic mansion. Beautiful!
That sure was a pretty cement pond. I’ll bet the critters really liked swimming there.
My mom used to be the personal secretary to Mrs. Kirkeby, the owners of this house. This was before she married my dad.
@MC-342 I'm guessing your mom was probably a very beautiful woman to be employed with such direct ties to people of their status.
and the haunts from the best days of my life came flooding back as I watched their home and what was my home too because I spent everyday of my childhood life (tv) with them. so glad they made a joke out of being millionaires. maybe other millionaires oughta follow their footsteps. make the world a better place. thanx for the memories.
Stunningly beautiful it would take a fortune just for the upkeep outside on the grounds and another small fortune just to take care of the upkeep of the house, but it sure is beautiful
And the property taxes : O
This is currently For Sale. $450 million. The most expensive private listing in California. Jed would be proud.
Yes, but this is Mansion and Estate living.....you only live once and i remember clients of ours with Grande Lifestyles....fortunate and wise investors...The Stamp Estate i restored in 1984....outside of Wheeling, 36 acres of exactly this.....did it in 3 months....
Jethro and Ellie May could probably handle it. Mrs. Dreisdale could help with the decorating.
That's why you brew up plenty of "Texas Tea"!
They didn't have a maid or cook, poor granny had to clean that whole place herself, and tend to the grounds too. But she had a lot of spunk, so she handled it.
when granny took a swig of white lightning moonshine, she was super granny.
She wouldn't have it any other way.
🤣😂I don't think anyone could maintain this house by themself in real life.😁
I'm sure Mr. Drysdale sent over gardeners and repairmen to keep up the place. He lived next door, wouldn't want property values to drop.
Lol you know that its fictional characters right?
Greater beauty than I expected. The landscaping was magnificent!
So glad to see that the "fancy dining room table" is still in the house. 😉
The "billy-ard" room, with the fancy "pot-passer" sticks (pool cues)!!
They didnt film inside the house. It was all done on a set.
Fancy eating table
And after all those years of scrubbin', Granny still couldn't get that green table cloth off the table surface.
I’m only interested in the Cement Pond 👍 and the place where Granny made her Shine 🍾
Interesting that although the house had 34 rooms, granny was always trying to get Jethro to dig her a 16 foot deep underground cellar where she could spend some alone time.
Also Ellie Mae wearing her swimsuits at pool side.

Yep. The music is from the original tv series.
Me too
Earl Scruggs and Lester Flatt ?
Lester and Earl :)
I remember when they ate at the pool table and passed the food around with pool sticks..lol
that's the bill-i-yard room
Pot passers
The Fancy Eatin’ Parlor and using the ‘Pot Passers’
@@TAM94114 And pot passers!
Hahaha! Pot passers!
Happy to see the cement pond!
I can see why Ellie Mae spent most of her time outside with the critters ❤️
The mansion owners allowed the show to mostly film exteriors.

Not it was season 4, that was they could not flim as they said it happened when the show want to color witch was season 4
Actually using sound stages are easier to control the environment.
They only filmed in what, 5 rooms? The main foyer, the sitting room, the billiard room, the kitchen and an occasional bedroom. All that was sound stage. The cement pond and front drive were sound stage as well.
Hopefully someone will invest and buy this gorgeous home.....PARADISE TO ME....being a retired Interior Designer of 42 years....
Ain't gonna have a weddin... might as well have a "shindig" ... loved the Beverly Hillbillies.. thanks for the beautiful video :)
The Ellie Mae theme. Certainly inspired by Les Paul. Great show, especially in the first few seasons.

Absolutely love this estate.
I could just imagine the maintenance and tax cost yearly.
I guess if you can afford the property you not too concerned with that though.

Then they bought the house and lot next door, and bulldozed it. A new road was put through the lot over the site of the house, so the front drive now comes in to the estate sideways, runs between the new wall and the old gate, then turns in to the gate.
Why it seems to be a dirt road, I don’t know. Maybe it looks less harsh going through the woods.
Love that music and sure did enjoy watching the show.
I couldn't even imagine! Been a huge fan since a boy. Still watch reruns everyday! Awesome!
Absolutely beautiful. I would love it. And I even like the cement pond.
Wow...yes, growing up watching TBH.. that was a dream house in my youth.. lol. Stunningly gorgeous today, with breathtaking gardens! It really is another world, without leaving at all. Oh.. and I just love the "cement pond". :D :D
The cascade fountain bordered by shrubs (6:31) was inspired by an almost duplicate water feature on Harold Lloyd's estate in Beverly Hills. His huge estate was lost after his death when the heirs had to sell off most of the 16 acres, and keep only 5 acres and the mansion which is now in other hands. That water feature I think was destroyed by the developers of the sold off property.
I wonder if any of the actors from the Beverly Hillbillies ever got to see this mansion from the inside?
It's very possible they never set foot inside. The Brady Bunch kids never were inside the house shown on the original TV series until just recently when the house was sold.
Martin Beneteau they filmed outside this house in season 1, so I’d say yes. They went in to cool off, etc.
I was wondering that myself!
Im sure they did!
I was wondering the same. I think the show only filmed the outside for the show. The inside was a set, I believe.
I live in a 600 sq. ft. apt with one closet, I'm trying to muster the energy after working my 40+ week to clean and do my laundry (small space, have to keep clean an organized).... LOL. Maintaining this home would be a full time job in itself.
and for a staff of about 25 or 30 people
If you have that much money....you dont touch a thing...maids...butlers...chauffeurs.....groundskeepers......it would probably cost 20,000 a month just to maintain the house and pay the employees! Thats not taxes,electric, water, ect..i thi k you need lots of money.....!!!
@@LB-pg3no It takes a different personality from mine to live here. To think some people have multiple palatial estates, sometimes in different countries.
Julie C. I know exactly what you mean.
If you have that much money, you can afford an army of servants to cook, clean, maintain the yard, etc.
Love this show reminds me of watching this at my nana each week thanks for the upload
It was listed as the most expensive house in the US in 2018. I'm sure the Beverly Hillbillies connection tacked a few million onto the price.
Exactly!
John, all i can think of is Milburn Drysdale rubbing is hands together with that sly grin and saying.. "money Miss Hathaway ., what else is there? "
@@prestige2000rider Milburn and Mrs. D lived next door.
Tourist attraction or museum attraction very gorgeous gardening & inside decor this what you call real spacious royalty living
If there was ever an American dream house...........this is it.......this is a Palace ...... God bless the USA !
Probably owned by a Chinese businessman or a Saudi sheikh.
Its just too bad its in the most Evil city in the US
@AI AC God has and continues to bless the great US of A, tell me are liberals like you ever happy or are you perpetually miserable, if you hate it here so much I hear Venezuela is a great place to go live, or how about Cuba?
God's judgment on the USA, you mean, when there's people who live in such ridiculous extravagance while there are people out on the streets without a roof over their heads, dying for lack of shelter. Shameful!
@@denisemayosky1955 It's such a shame people have to get political over an innocent video like this! And it's not just you Denise; there were a few other comments like yours here. I will say that I wouldn't want a home like this if I could afford it. But how do you know a person this rich isn't a great philanthropist who's very merciful to the poor and needy. Would you want the govt. to pass a law capping how much we can earn?! Remember, it's the love if money, not money itself, that is the root of all evil.
Whoever made this video I really appreciate it, I really wanted to see the mansion and that's the most thorough tour you could possibly get!😀👍👍👍
Yeah, I could get something close to that with my Walmart job.
LOL !!!
Yeah, in miniature.
Maybe a postcard
😄
maybe the welcome mat, no offense............. we are all in the same boat.
Jethro on spotting the koi fish:
Looky there, Uncle Jed! This place done has its own catfish. Those big ‘uns go great with hush puppies!
I did not see any critters.
They was hidin' in them thar trees.
Lol
Probably in grannies kitchen in the store cupboard/freezer ROCK SOLID it would take about two days to thaw out!.🤣🌹✊🕊️🙏🇬🇧💎😎
@@laurenblainebamartistmgt ~ probably somewhere near the CE-ment pond...
I spotted a two legged, double breasted Ellie Mae. Does that count?
I had just gotten my driver’s license. 1968. My girlfriend and I had gone to the farmers market for lunch, a special place for my mom to take me when I was growing up. We decided to buy a map of movie stars homes. They probably don’t even do that any longer. We head up off Sunset Blvd. Just going this way and that. Looking at some addresses, being so amazed by the houses in general. We come up to Bel Air Blvd. The name just caught our eye and for fun we started up the street. As I’m driving I look to the right and see this house. I couldn’t believe it. The gates were massive. The lawn, at least a football field. Unbelievable, it was the Beverly Hillbilly house. Right there. We couldn’t believe it. I still remember our amazement and thrill. You would of thought we had found treasure. We were so excited. Believe me it was impressive.
Its Gorgeous!! I can live there no problem. The place is stunning!!!
Doesn't look the same without the truck or Miss Hathaway's red Dodge Dart parked out front.
We had a burgundy Dodge Dart!
It must cost an arm & a leg just for the electric bill every month.
I left California because of my utility bills. I lived in the San Fernando Valley and my water and power bill hit $1300 with 250sq. Ft. of solar panels 16 years ago. That was the last straw for me. I closed down a business that employed 46 people and went to Idaho. It was one of the smartest things I have ever done.
the people that own this are not your average blue collar workers. they could buy us all out and sail us on down the river.
If you live in a house like THAT, you don't worry about electricity bills! 😂
I've always loved this show and the music. Beautiful video!!!!!
"Uncle Jed! Guess what? There's a whole 'nother house up here!"
"Now Jethro, come on down! Don't go disturbin' the folks who live up there!" 😂
(I just made that up! But I think Jed said something similar?)
What a fun video! Especially loved the music from the original show. Nice touch.
Gorgeous home. Thanks for the tour
Lovely "Cement Pond"!!
What an amazing home.
But NOT very "homely?" More like a hotel? 👎😂
All the guitar work you hear from the original show courtesy of the late great Les Paul! Banjo courtesy of the late great Earl Scruggs!
01:50 fancy vittles table 😁
"Fancy eatin' table"
The pool cues were called pot passers as they sat around the fancy eatin table in the billiard room. And they called the mounted animal heads the billiards.
Y'all can go shoot some golfs and bring back a passel of them golf eggs too! I'll go to the beach and hold off them thar grunions from attackin'. Maybe Elly can help out with that double-barreled slingshot that Miss Jane got her.
I just love the cement pond aint it purdy...!!!
The Mansion is located in Bel Air estate's
So much bigger, more beautiful, and opulant than one could even imagine by what you saw watching the series. Simply a pleasure to behold.
Decor a little too ostentatious for my taste. But the house itself is magnificent.
I can remember asking my mom(cir. 1970) " will you and daddy have a Beverly Hills house one day?" My adorable and amazingly hard-working mother would just reply of course dear, one day , one day, we will. And then she said I think what's more important is that we have each other right? I will never forget it . I still watch the show on whatever satellite station picks it up. and I love this video
the price on this has been reduced btw. And with the recent transaction of the penthouse at 220 Central Park South by Ken Griffin for $238 Million NY has the new record for highest real estate purchase in US history.
I have seen it from the street, even back when you could actually see the house from the street, and I had no idea it was as big as it is. It is truly a palace.
I'm going to go take a dip in the cement pond. And Granny's kitchen just doesn't look at damn thing like it use to I'm pretty sure she didn't have granite countertops at that time.
Thanks for the tour. Still will watch Beverly Hillbillies up to this day.
Speechless to see how the other half lives........
Half? More like .0000001%.
i hope they are happy and appreciate what they have.
I run out of adjectives to describe the house!! Only FABULOUS would do!! A LOVELY throwback in time of the Guilded AGE!!
The fifty car garage was nice.
I loved that too. And the view of the city.
Drat! I have 51....where of where to park that extra one....
That’s not a garage! That’s an event space!!
And no hoopty car of Jethro's!
@@QueerOkie I felt like the garage was over the top. Looked like an upscale shipping mall garage in Vegas
Absolutely gorgeous property and the house inside oh my very beautiful
FLATT and SCRUGGS 🎸🎻
It sure is a beautiful home. It has more acreage than I would have thought and it even has a cement pond lol. Would have loved to have seen what the kitchen looked liked.
They even showed the fancy eating room!
With the head of a critter called a Billy-yard on the wall.
Yes! The billy yard! LOL.
Fancy eatin' room! ...... Hillbillies always drop letters! 😂😂😂
I wanna go visit so bad! The Beverly hillbillies is one of my favorite shows of all time. I grew up with the movie and recently watched the series and so many times choked myself out laughing. I wish more shows were still like this. I just turned 28 btw
