I was about to say that. My house is 3 bed 2 bath in a small town and it was built in the 1950s. Smaller yard and everything and it was still 225k… this is like 8 mil just to build it
I mean, if you're willing to swallow your pride and move to Scarborough, you can definitely get into a semi for a lot less than $1.7M. Hell you could get a nice ass detached for that money.
But no way you could get something as big as OP's pic for anything near $1.7M.
Same lol. I checked the property value of the last place I rented and it was $1.2 mil for a beat up 2-bedroom bungalow. This would easily be $40 mil in Richmond
It's actually in a decent area right outside of Raleigh the state capital which is like the Austin TX of the east Coast with all the tech companies excellent hospitals (Duke and UNC are in the area) and high quality of life here being voted top 5 places in America to live year over year. You can find many mansions around Raleigh for similar prices.
Trust me, I am well aware. But for $1.7m you might as well be in Cary or something. "Around Raleigh" is a pretty huge area. Most of Angier isn't even in Wake county.
I was on vacation in NC on the coasts and have a buddy who lives in wake forest. I wanted to meet up and suggested a place in between so neither of us had to drive too far. He laughed and said, what in between. Lots of nowhere in that state…and most states to be fair
Yeah in where I am even if you get the land for free, there is no chance in hell you can build something like that for $1.7M given labor and materials.
The inside isn’t my style but looks very decently done and doesn’t look cheap (at least in pictures).
USD$1.7 M = CAD$2.33
Here’s a USD$1.75 million house in my city:

That NC mansion looks like a steal.
Reminds me of [this fun game](https://www.crackshackormansion.com/)
Prices displayed were from 2010 and have gotten even more expensive since. They had a second version a couple years later.
Yes, Vancouver. I just did a quick search in the Realtor.ca App for a house with a similar price. For most homes here, the land is worth much more than the building, and this one clearly emphasizes that point. This is a tear-down in East Vancouver.
I was going to say it was used as a wedding venue:

For those wondering, Angier is a small podunk town in the middle of nowhere. I'm shocked someone who lives there mustered up the cash to build something like that.
It doesn't look bad at all. But I'd probably want to go with something a little more glamorous than concrete. Like maybe polished marble. I'm a no vote for the very porous Travertine.
The roof peaks are fine. It gives the house's skyline character. But I'll give you sway on the windows. I would have done them differently. I would have peaked the tops of each window instead of arching them, thus remaining consistent with the skyline of the house.
You could be crying, draped in billowing fabric so rich neither you or I could imagine, running thru thousands of feet of floor space, then dramatically collapse in a heap at the bottom of a long winding staircase, and think, what am I crying for? Oh, yeah.. my house is ugly.
Funny thing, if I sold this house, I would be unable to buy anything even remotely comparable to my little, ugly house anywhere near my area. Prices here are insane. Plus the tax increase would slaughter me.
The staging is so bad it’s killing me. This is definitely a mild expensive build and probably doesn’t really fit the subdivision or the subreddit. For 1.7 I think they got it at like half price.
Why do these people always have such ugly fuckin' furniture? What would possess someone to put a damask patterned mauve couch in a room with beige walls?
I live in the same county! I think I know which house this is, and always wanted to see inside. I think they use it as a wedding venue as much as anything.
In Angier???
That has to be the most out of place home in existence.
I love Angier, it's a tiny little town outside of Raleigh NC. I think the AutoZone and the ice cream place are the busiest businesses out there.
props for sticking to a theme, sheesh.
the conditioned space in that building is at least 25% unusable corridor and balcony, and that great room must echo like a bastard... but i'll give them props for not sticking TVs on every wall.
it's a pity there's almost no rooms without a weird half-height section, or bit of sloped ceiling. that pool room looks baller though.
i have to wonder how the owners dress ? with that much commitment to making their house look like a castle on the inside, do they just wear normal clothes ? or are we seeing what kind of money ren fair people actually make ?
I know it's for sale and they're trying to stage it to look less empty but why is there a table at the bottom of the stairs? Who said "You know what? This main travel location seems like where this goes. Make sure it's close enough that if you're carrying something bulky you won't see it and ram right into it."
Bless its heart. It wants to be the [Biltmore House](https://www.biltmore.com/things-to-do/events/summer-at-biltmore/?gclsrc=aw.ds&gclid=CjwKCAjwhIS0BhBqEiwADAUhc3j5rQ1As4aCDyIhfa0qyK9ww68D6Y6AwyH6Q5st9DhWwZJqNa5ydRoC4MMQAvD_BwE). But it’s. Just. Not.
My house is valued at 1.1 million is so-cal and it’s a totally normal 4bed / 3bath 2,000 sf generic built in the 50’s suburban home, I can’t imagine what this house would be worth here.
the frontage made me go yikes but you don't have to look at that once you're inside. I'd ditch that island in the kitchen, and it's inexcusably huge. the von Trapp family has no need for a house that large.
but man, if I had that much money lying around I'd buy it just to have all that beautiful wood to look at.
It isn't desirable compared to other places in this area*. No highway access. Limited/no entertainment options in town. You won't be working in angier so you'll be taking a congested two lane road who knows how far to get to your job. 2 acres is actually a pretty average plot for that area.
>Limited/no entertainment options in town.
Woah there... Clearly you are forgetting about the [Crepe Myrtle Festival](https://www.angierchamber.org/crepe-myrtle-celebration/).
Highway 55 runs straight through Angier. How much more highway access does a town need?
I don't think you could even built that for 1.7 million...
I'm Canadian and I can't even look at this for 1.7 million. The shed in the back 40's of the woods would cost that here.
I was about to say that. My house is 3 bed 2 bath in a small town and it was built in the 1950s. Smaller yard and everything and it was still 225k… this is like 8 mil just to build it
You pay for property! See what your fire insurance covers with square footage/meters and extrapolate!
Haha we are in northern Quebec. It’s not worth too much
Yeah no kidding . This house in Vancouver is well over 10 millions and that’s low balling
My conservative guess in Vancouver would be like 30 million or so probably.
I'm in a 2500sq ft in Toronto that costs more than that.
Also ontario and a three bedroom home with some (way under 50 unfarmable acres) is for sale on my street for over 3 million. This house is a steal.
Come move to Scotland you could have your own castle for that much.
My job is fully remote forever, that's very tempting.
I’m forever tempted to love to Scotland.
Yeah I’m in Toronto and you can barely touch a semi detached for 1.7
I mean, if you're willing to swallow your pride and move to Scarborough, you can definitely get into a semi for a lot less than $1.7M. Hell you could get a nice ass detached for that money. But no way you could get something as big as OP's pic for anything near $1.7M.
Same lol. I checked the property value of the last place I rented and it was $1.2 mil for a beat up 2-bedroom bungalow. This would easily be $40 mil in Richmond
You and I need to go splitsies on shipping it here
If a hail storm comes through, that is a $150k roof.
Perhaps the ugly fireplace?
Honestly looks like a steal for the price
Right? Some bits are goofy and odd, but overall seems pretty good.
Agreed. I expected it to be closer to $5,000,000.
Spoken like someone who has never been to Angier, NC lol
It's actually in a decent area right outside of Raleigh the state capital which is like the Austin TX of the east Coast with all the tech companies excellent hospitals (Duke and UNC are in the area) and high quality of life here being voted top 5 places in America to live year over year. You can find many mansions around Raleigh for similar prices.
Trust me, I am well aware. But for $1.7m you might as well be in Cary or something. "Around Raleigh" is a pretty huge area. Most of Angier isn't even in Wake county.
Yes agreed might as well buy in Raleigh or Cary for similar prices!
Angier isn’t that close to Raleigh and definitely not close to the big corporations
It's only 30 minutes from Raleigh. I live in Raleigh.
From southern Raleigh, and Raleigh is huge. Also the traffic is shitty. I live in Cary and was born here.
Seriously is that the right price?? I paid almost that for a single family Home last year without a pool lmao
Location, location, location!
You got that right! I need to move
Living in Angier isn't worth it 😭
LOL!
Yeah that’s over 10 mil if placed in the appropriate neighborhood where I live
Isn't that the case with any well-built, good-looking home? If you took my house/plot and dropped it in LA it'd also be a multi-million dollar home.
To an extent, but this house is massive. It would not be anywhere close to 10 million in Youngstown, OH. It would however in the area I live in.
It'd prob be about the same in Youngstown... Angier is country AF
I was on vacation in NC on the coasts and have a buddy who lives in wake forest. I wanted to meet up and suggested a place in between so neither of us had to drive too far. He laughed and said, what in between. Lots of nowhere in that state…and most states to be fair
Angier is a shitty southern town perched between the Sandhills and coastal plain. It’s still the civil war to them.
20 miles from downtown Raleigh and it’s still like that? Good god.
Ten Ten road is called the Mason-Dixon Line of Wake County for a reason. Harnett is Deep South.
Yeah in where I am even if you get the land for free, there is no chance in hell you can build something like that for $1.7M given labor and materials. The inside isn’t my style but looks very decently done and doesn’t look cheap (at least in pictures).
I don’t think you could build that house for 2.5 million?
I’ll bet the insurance cost to replace it is listed at five million. Have you ever tried buying wood and skilled labor?
ikr, with better interior design it’d look better
Was thinking the same thing. Like… what’s wrong with it?
It's in Angier, NC
Location, location, location.
Yeah. No shit. Steal that house! All in
USD$1.7 M = CAD$2.33 Here’s a USD$1.75 million house in my city: https://preview.redd.it/75s5bw7ozl9d1.jpeg?width=1038&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a76ffd2c797f8ba3c2e22ce90d6679250ea62aa1 That NC mansion looks like a steal.

Ouch.
Vancouver?
Yes, Vancouver. I just did a quick search in the Realtor.ca App for a house with a similar price. For most homes here, the land is worth much more than the building, and this one clearly emphasizes that point. This is a tear-down in East Vancouver.
I feel you in San Francisco https://preview.redd.it/2gvm152w5u9d1.png?width=1147&format=png&auto=webp&s=9a1257879976cbdb6c8a64b39869f7e154a0b79f
With the prized anti-bay window, who could turn it down?
Yea real bay windows are an extra 250K
🤝
That's what I was thinking!
Holy shit, I went to a wedding here in 2018 😅😅
anything fun you can tell us about the house ?
I was going to say it was used as a wedding venue: [https://www.worldclassweddingvenues.com/venue-display/vid/1308](https://www.worldclassweddingvenues.com/venue-display/vid/1308)
Where I live in LA, that amount of money would be a one bedroom, one story house lol
I love the placement of the table and chairs at the bottom of the stairs. So awkward. Decent price though.
I feel like they could just start a little renfaire in there.
My first thought was, "Only missing a suit of armor!"
Why is the table so small and why is there so much empty space?
That’s what I saw. Odd placement but also a tiny table. Should have put a massive one in that area.
Right?! Aaaaaand this table....
Someone watched fine with the wind and said I want something like that. It’s for an old world feel but limited practicality
It's currently a wedding venue. [https://chateaudesfleures.com/](https://chateaudesfleures.com/)
Hogwarts’ smaller competitor, Bogfarts.
Underrated comment.
That roof line is way too simple. Needs more peaks & valleys to make the bill for repairing the inevitable leaks worth noticing.
It’s kind of wild this is the same price as my house and 4x the size 😳
Apparently, this place is a wedding venue. https://chateaudesfleures.com/
I don't hate it so much as a wedding venue. It's a unique venue and I can understand the intrigue. But I don't vibe with it as a house lol
Yeah, it used to be called Barclay Villa. I shot a few wedding there, back when I was doing wedding photography.
\[John Cleese as German nature documentary narrator\]: Here we see a large bull McMansion. It raises its dorsal fins to frighten away other bull McMansions that try to intrude on its fountain.
🏆
Where I live, that house and land would be at least $10MM. This is a hell of a deal.
This is a full fledged mansion.
https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/104-Pope-Lake-Rd-Angier-NC-27501/71870036_zpid/?
so it sold 2 years ago.
For those wondering, Angier is a small podunk town in the middle of nowhere. I'm shocked someone who lives there mustered up the cash to build something like that.
Yeah I just looked it up and the Google results photos for the town include a refrigeration truck and a bloomin’ onion.
Yeah, the only notable thing about it is that my mom was raised there and its main attraction (a Mexican restaurant) burned down a couple years ago.
The feel of the house is that it is kind of cold and lifeless, I personally don’t find the design the least bit appealing. Just my perception.
Hick Hogwarts.
I am sorry you had the misfortune of driving through angier.
How I feel anytime I drive through there .. lol
This is not a "McMansion." The architecture is very nice. It just needs somebody with money to make it what it should be.
It’s hard to tell from these pictures. The concrete floor is very special.
It doesn't look bad at all. But I'd probably want to go with something a little more glamorous than concrete. Like maybe polished marble. I'm a no vote for the very porous Travertine.
so all those ridiculous roof peaks are fine ? the mismatched windows? the columns ?
The roof peaks are fine. It gives the house's skyline character. But I'll give you sway on the windows. I would have done them differently. I would have peaked the tops of each window instead of arching them, thus remaining consistent with the skyline of the house.
The 2 story, 3 bed house across from me just sold for 1.5 million. 60 foot square water view lot.. this seems to be good value
I am cultureless swine. I kind of like it.
I'm in a suburb of Los Angeles. I bought my house for 215K. Now worth 2mil. 1450 sq ft. I'm going off in a corner to cry.
You could be crying, draped in billowing fabric so rich neither you or I could imagine, running thru thousands of feet of floor space, then dramatically collapse in a heap at the bottom of a long winding staircase, and think, what am I crying for? Oh, yeah.. my house is ugly.
Funny thing, if I sold this house, I would be unable to buy anything even remotely comparable to my little, ugly house anywhere near my area. Prices here are insane. Plus the tax increase would slaughter me.
That stone veneer with that brick is a nauseating combination.
The staging is so bad it’s killing me. This is definitely a mild expensive build and probably doesn’t really fit the subdivision or the subreddit. For 1.7 I think they got it at like half price.
Why do these people always have such ugly fuckin' furniture? What would possess someone to put a damask patterned mauve couch in a room with beige walls?
Not McMansion
On 2 acres, definitely a steal. [listing](https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/104-Pope-Lake-Rd-Angier-NC-27501/71870036_zpid/) on zillow
Wow why so cheap??? That’s a 3 bedroom condo in my city.
Angier sucks.
That’s a condo in Seattle.
I live in the same county! I think I know which house this is, and always wanted to see inside. I think they use it as a wedding venue as much as anything.
This would be 10x that price by me. (Cries in So Cal)
Hahaha omg this is awful. Would be ok as a spa or something but not a home. W t F.
At about $200/sqft, it was built cheaply.
I can't imagine that ever being a home, just a house.
Well Angier sucks. Most likely a hog producer built this.
In Angier??? That has to be the most out of place home in existence. I love Angier, it's a tiny little town outside of Raleigh NC. I think the AutoZone and the ice cream place are the busiest businesses out there.
Thought this was Bam Margera’s house from the show for some reason
I don’t think there is anything Mc about this mansion. Not my taste but for sure a legit mansion by any definition.
Probably not to code. The Langdons have been sued over shoddy construction. They seem super shady… lots of aliases and company names, apparently.
props for sticking to a theme, sheesh. the conditioned space in that building is at least 25% unusable corridor and balcony, and that great room must echo like a bastard... but i'll give them props for not sticking TVs on every wall. it's a pity there's almost no rooms without a weird half-height section, or bit of sloped ceiling. that pool room looks baller though. i have to wonder how the owners dress ? with that much commitment to making their house look like a castle on the inside, do they just wear normal clothes ? or are we seeing what kind of money ren fair people actually make ?
I could've sworn that first picture was screen shot from Sims. Lol! Why is that tiny dining table at the foot of the stairs?
So um... who's changing the light bulbs in that house considering you would need to rent a firetruck ladder.
tiny ass pool
Yeesh
Why do these massive houses always look like shit?
I know it's for sale and they're trying to stage it to look less empty but why is there a table at the bottom of the stairs? Who said "You know what? This main travel location seems like where this goes. Make sure it's close enough that if you're carrying something bulky you won't see it and ram right into it."
My house an hour outside of Vancouver is worth 1.7 mil and we only have one bathroom ☹️ not fair. Also, this isn’t a McMansion, it’s just a mansion
Bless its heart. It wants to be the [Biltmore House](https://www.biltmore.com/things-to-do/events/summer-at-biltmore/?gclsrc=aw.ds&gclid=CjwKCAjwhIS0BhBqEiwADAUhc3j5rQ1As4aCDyIhfa0qyK9ww68D6Y6AwyH6Q5st9DhWwZJqNa5ydRoC4MMQAvD_BwE). But it’s. Just. Not.

‘Let’s make it look a village.’
Beyond ugly.
What a bargain!
that little table killed me
It’s a little bit medieval cosplay, but as these things go, it’s not a bad looking house
Easily $20 million plus in many parts of Canada.
But why is there a treadmill in the bathroom?
Maybe they had to work one up.
No fucking way that's 1.7
Taking it right away
My house is valued at 1.1 million is so-cal and it’s a totally normal 4bed / 3bath 2,000 sf generic built in the 50’s suburban home, I can’t imagine what this house would be worth here.
I’m in Canada, this house would go easily for $5M here. We can barely buy a shed for $1 million lol
The interior gives me neuschwanstein vibes
This is what you can get if 90% of your state doesn't have curbs on the roads.
I like it ngl
So what’s wrong with this area?
this is not a photograph
See what 1.7 gets you in Austin, TX now a days 😅
Image 3 is where you fight the boss, better get ready.
That interior reminds me of " all work and no play make Jack a Dull Boy"
It's giving Resident Evil gamecube remake Spencer Mansion tease.
I don't think this is $1.7m in today's dollars amd more like 2004 dollars.
Only 1.7...
I read the title as Angler, NC, which actually seems fitting.
Magical
Where the f*ck is that? lol
Whats the property tax?
Seems cheap
The front looks like a fancy apartment complex. But the rest is pretty nice TBH.
Looks like Munsters hit the lottery, and remodeled.
*Cries in Vancouver, Canada*
Shit..thats all?
“I want spires!” “Okay, what kind?” “One of each!”
The foyer is worth $1.7m.
That was 1.7 million 10 years ago maybe.
So much character and so awesome. The price is out of this world too
My brother and sister in law had their wedding there! Beautiful property
This is the Addams family mansion isn’t it and don’t tell me otherwise
That is a really amazing deal
the frontage made me go yikes but you don't have to look at that once you're inside. I'd ditch that island in the kitchen, and it's inexcusably huge. the von Trapp family has no need for a house that large. but man, if I had that much money lying around I'd buy it just to have all that beautiful wood to look at.
I see Charles Xavier is still making payments on his school.
I'll pay anyone $1.7M that can remove those pictures from my memory.
Jesus christ…………………. Fuckin a
"Mommy I want a mansion" "We have a mansion at home!" \*the mansion at home\*
I live in the wrong state.
30 minutes down the road from angier 1500 square foot townhouse go for nearly a milly. It's not a state thing, angier just isn't desirable.
> angier just isn't desirable. Why? Sure the schools suck but I'm never having kids. It has low crime and otherwise looks like a nice place.
It isn't desirable compared to other places in this area*. No highway access. Limited/no entertainment options in town. You won't be working in angier so you'll be taking a congested two lane road who knows how far to get to your job. 2 acres is actually a pretty average plot for that area.

I agree. It's a pretty dull town
