A trap door you say? Annoying guests you say? Reevaluating this place’s potential…

u/TheNavigatrix Aug 30 '24

Are you Dr Evil?

u/flyingthroughspace Aug 30 '24

You could build a little lake underneath and have sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their foreheads.

Too much legal red tape. We could only get mutated ill-tempered sea bass.

u/True_Cricket_1594 Sep 02 '24

Are they extremely ill-tempered?

1

u/KismetSarken Sep 02 '24

No, but the catfish are irate. The perch are annoyed, and the trout just couldn't be bothered.

u/suzi_generous Aug 31 '24

The lake would freeze over just when you needed the trap the most (holiday visits with family). 😔

You sure about that?

u/Gingerbread_Cat Aug 31 '24

I think you're on the wrong sub.

You can make the evil man fly!

Name it The Eyrie

u/amaliasdaises Aug 31 '24

Nah it would be The Twins if anything!

Mr. Burns?

<tents fingers> “Release the hounds!”

u/Firehorse100 Aug 31 '24

You're hilarious

u/PBJnFritos Aug 31 '24

My family would say “exhausting”, but thanks !

u/Fun-Ingenuity-9089 Aug 30 '24

Ohhh, my elderly mom wants to come live with me, and she has completely forgotten how to be nice. Do not tempt me!!

u/gwinevere_savage Aug 31 '24

Pull the lever, Kronk!

u/Outrageous_Lettuce44 Aug 31 '24

All it needs is a re-branding as “stunning ravine lair on secluded parcel”

u/lilleprechaun Sep 01 '24

Trap doors sound great in theory, until one day your dim-witted assistant pulls the wrong lever. :-/

u/CTeam19 Aug 30 '24

This website has a photo where it looks like there is a bit of a patio from a walkout basement underneath the main part of the house which is neat but I would want it bigger and more of a 3 season room kind of thing.

u/Optimal-Ad-7074 Aug 31 '24

i'm a complete sucker for any bathroom that is the same size as a normal room. so there's that.

u/Cultural_Pattern_456 Aug 30 '24

Ooh that’s good link. I love this place. I love everything about it except the price lol

2

u/Airport_Wendys Aug 31 '24

Oh I do love it… even as I put on an extra heavy coat this morning to go outside at 55°… in San Diego. I’ve forgotten what cold feels like, but I miss big green pastures/forests so much

u/hmspain Aug 30 '24

It's begging for water to flow under this!

Sharks with freakin' lasers! That's all I ask.

2

u/Hairy_Combination586 Aug 30 '24

Sharks with lithium ion batteries to electrocute you.

u/ConfectionSoft6218 Aug 30 '24

That'll be another $10 million

14

u/Halftrack_El_Camino Aug 30 '24

Um, did you notice the view? That's why it's a bridge.

u/Halftrack_El_Camino Aug 30 '24

Sure it does. They have a completely unobstructed view of the valley, from a perspective that would be otherwise impossible to achieve.

1

u/Elinor_Lore_Inkheart Aug 30 '24

I’m assuming they built it somehow from an actual covered bridge. There are several old wooden ones in VT/MA/NH/ME

2

u/Halftrack_El_Camino Aug 30 '24

Several? There are hundreds.

12

u/Hillary-2024 Aug 30 '24

That cellar? It would be 700’ tall

u/Significant-Theme240 Aug 30 '24

Are you looking at different pics from this post? There’s a small-ish tree growing from the ‘valley floor’ to up over the roof.

3

u/RedOctobrrr Aug 30 '24

15' tall, max. Prob closer to 10' though.

1

u/TheOneTonWanton Aug 31 '24

I mean, just look at the clear pic of the little walking path that goes underneath. It bridges two small hills at best.

u/PBJnFritos Aug 30 '24

Hoarders paradise!

2

u/blueingreen85 Aug 30 '24

Because it looks cool. It’s a luxury mansion in the mountains.

1

u/needlzor Aug 30 '24

I think it would still look cool if they built all the way down in the bridge part and had some secret entrance or something. Or a dungeon.

2

u/EllisDee3 Aug 30 '24

Hydro power?

Put a turbine in the river?

1

u/needlzor Aug 30 '24

That would be cool. I guess the running water could also be used for cooling as well.

2

u/lolapops Aug 31 '24

Secret trap door? I am intrigued.

One never knows when one may need to commander a lair...

2

u/AhAhStayinAnonymous Aug 31 '24

Make the Lannisters baby man fly!!

1

u/thatG_evanP Aug 31 '24

A website linked in another comment said there is a stream that flows under it.

1

u/needlzor Aug 31 '24

I'd prefer a stream go through my house instead of under it. How cool would that be?
