Zambrano Report post Posted March 25, 2014 Nice spread man! What year was it built? Also, don't you guys get DirecTv down there? Built between 1980 to 1982 and remodeled three times. No, we dont have DirecTV died almost 10 years ago, but we have the call centers lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
emanon Report post Posted March 25, 2014 Built between 1980 to 1982 and remodeled three times. No, we dont have DirecTV died almost 10 years ago, but we have the call centers lol Wow, I would have thought it was much older than that (in a good way, I love old spanish architecture and craftsmanship). I was wondering about the NASA size satellite dish. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zambrano Report post Posted March 25, 2014 Wow, I would have thought it was much older than that (in a good way, I love old spanish architecture and craftsmanship). I was wondering about the NASA size satellite dish. Thats a 90s TV satelite system. Back them was a really expensive service like $400 USD or more per month.

emanon Report post Posted March 25, 2014 Thats a 90s TV satelite system. Back them was a really expensive service like $400 USD or more per month. I realize that, hence why I thought it was so out of place on an estate like this. I figured they would have something, ANYTHING, other than that beast.

Zambrano Report post Posted March 25, 2014 I realize that, hence why I thought it was so out of place on an estate like this. I figured they would have something, ANYTHING, other than that beast. Original price of the mansion back in 1982: $50´000,000 USD just imagine how powerful were the owners. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rouleur Report post Posted March 26, 2014 No, actually no one had ever lived in that place since was built. So let me understand, it was built in the '60s and no one has lived in it since it was built? Wow. Why was it remodeled 3 times. Are people afraid to live in it because of repercussions from the original owners? That property is amazing. I love the style. Did you get to go inside as well?
