The easy part is buying it. It's the maintenance, upkeep, property taxes and utility bills that get expensive on large estate properties/mansions. I hope, that's the view of the rear of the house that's shown in the photograph.

TOO MANY w/ WET DREAMS. IF you could afford a place like that, you'd already be living in one. Besides, Mo. has too many Chiggers, Turdnados & want-a-be Ozarkies!

Just took a peek at the inside (see gallery) and it's very unimpressive and poorly decorated. What looked to be the ornate photo turns out to be tables set up in the garage! How weird...
It really does look like some rooms over a garage.
