La Reve – Reduced 17 million!
We have a new listing! Troy Stowe and Glennis Beacham of Beacham & Company, REALTORS just .
Norman Askins and Jerry Bonner teamed up again on this home. They are also the team responsible for Descante (Click here to see the post).
This state-of-the-art show home offers every possible amenity while still retaining a sense of charm, warmth and home. The 82 room home could easily be mistaken for a five-star hotel, with its gilded molding, handcrafted architectural elements, antique fixtures and hand laid floors throughout. A two-lane bowling alley, 50s style diner, full golf simulator commercial grade gymnasium, and a Fox Theater replica provides endless entertaining for both family nights and luxurious entertaining. The outdoors are what really make this home a true private estate. The 9 hole golf course (two of the holes are replicas of the 11th and 12th holes at Augusta National), clubhouse, horse stable and pastures, four-acre lake, swimming pool and spa, and full tennis court, provide a true luxury vacation experience at home.

How about a round of golf before you leave?
Happy Monday!
I hope they've designed this with some flexibility so it might have a future as something other than a single family home.
Wow! Hopefully you had a GPS to find your way around
As always, stunning photography. xo
How gorgeous is that staircase?! Stunning photography!
I was thinking along the same line as Terry. Hope this is not a foreclosure. What a house! Thank you for sharing your beautiful photographs.
Picking my mouth up from off the floor. I'm sorry to sound like a complete cliche, but OMG! I love this house! But I've dreamed of something like this forever. And not just because it's big, but because of all the great things to do in it! And all the details. And the staircase! Floors. Columns, Etc. So lucky are you to have documented it!
That place is huge. Do you know who did the landscape architecture? I remember seeing previous photos that were shot from a helicopter I believe and the landscaping looked interesting.
There are many internet posts on this house and Hubert Humphrey if others are interested. It's quite a story!
James, great question! Landscape architecture by Joe Galye
Blayne,
Is this real???? I have looking over and over again these pictures! My Goodness! I really would love to do all the woodworks in this house!!! I think my company would have a fulltime job for at least a year!!!!
Thank you so much for sharing Blayne! I so love to see your beautiful posts!!!

Thanks for all the comments everybody! The house is huge. really huge… unfortunately it is in foreclosure… I hope someone buys it!
Great job on the photography. It looks so much better than the old photographs of this home. I had featured it on my blog a while back.
By the way, I got my italian door piece in the mail today. I LOVE IT!!! So pretty. I can't wait to get it framed. I just have to figure out where I'm going to hang it. Hope you're having a good week! xo, C-
Blayne, these photos are insanely gorgeous.
I'm not sure what my favorite feature of the house is…the 9 hole golf course, the kitchen, the steam shower, or the bowling alley.
Just stopped over by way of Leeann at FF. Now THIS is photography. WOW. And congrats on your award from Leeann too! -Lili
Your photography always gets me. I love the way you capture a space. Spending the day visiting some of my favorite reads, as always I enjoyed my time here.

You would think spending time here maybe would help my pictures, no suck luck they are as bad as ever.
Um, wow! Great job capturing the details of this house!
Is that Hubert Humphrey’s house…? (formerly)
Yes
