Mira ......  maybe they'll change it back after they've finished watering the lawns. :D

They changed the view back to the sea ... must have read our hosepipe comments, LOL!

Hmmmm.  There's quite a delay on the closing of the gates.

Parcel delivery man just left the gates open.

Mira ...... or ........ we are supposed to think "Aren't they good ... not using the hosepipe" while there are half a dozen others being used out of sight.  LOL

LOL ... in that case, if they change the camera angle we'll know they're using the hosepipe.  ;D

Teo ... that's what you have to think of ..... paying the bills. No point in having a palace if you can't afford to eat!

Mira .... I agree that the owners wouldn't do their own gardening but I'm suspicious enough to think that they wouldn't be against the sneaky use of a hosepipe!

I wonder if they positioned the camera here to make sure the gardener doesn't use the hose pipe while the drought restrictions are in place (somehow I can't imagine the owners doing their own gardening!)

Hi MD I'm in central California, just outside of Sacramento. I can't even imagine paying that much for anything. I couldn't pay the taxes on a house like that. Hell, I couldn't pay the utilities.

Teo ... which state do you hail from?   At those prices it sounds far too expensive to move to but it looks lovely.

Wow ... that's quite a laundry list of enterprises the business covers ... no wonder they can afford a place like this!

The realtor estimated the monthly payment on a re-fi at $21,542, but you might rent for only $11,432. If I remember right. Rent or buy it's a big decision. Maybe I'll stay here.

Phew Teo ... I thought we were in prison! Good links.  It looks quite a place.
