why do grooms get one boring black jacket and brides get the most jawdropping gowns ever like when i get married i want pearls and lace and a train is that too much to ask??
Beautiful 2011 lakefront estate in Columbus, IN. Has 6bds, 11ba, $22.5M. But, you have to really like rustic and want to live in Indiana, and I know that I posted it before. It was listed for $30M in 2022, and taken off the market b/c it didn't sell. So, they reduced the price and it's back on the market again.
I mean, really, look at this. I don't usually like rustic, but this is magnificent.
The waterfall is 2 stories high and there're koi fish in the pond.
It's open concept. Look at that ceiling and how the metal poles project out of the wood beams to hold the chandelier.
This is spectacular.
How would you get that flat screen out of the rock?
The kitchen is huge. Love the island and look at the size of those logs.
Nice dining room. I like the stone floors, too.
Cozy family room with a fireplace.
The primary bedroom is carpeted and has a fireplace.
Huge en-suite bath with lots of river stones.
The home office is right off the bedroom.
Up in the mezzanine.
The secondary bedrooms are beautiful and some of them have terraces.
One of the other 11 baths done in stone.
The rec room has a bar with a gaming area.
The bar is central to all the gaming areas.
Lounge and 2 bowling alleys.
The pool room has saloon doors.
Indoor golf area.
Down by the lake.
They have photos of all the animals on the 415 acre property, which I would love, but of course, they're talking about hunting.
There is a Swiss group called Les Enfants de Macguyver and they actually built a life-size Stargate, complete with moving chevrons and all the lights. (A Pegasus gate was also done as—one hell of—a side project.) They have a website and are on a bunch of social media, here's their YouTube channel.
It's insanely well done, they had access to lots of the original parts, and the specs are all correct. Go and give them some love!
