This place has really changed since country musician/chicken roaster Kenny Rogers
owned it in the 1970s. It was a humbler estate then, when Rogers, a Leo
and apparent astrology buff, put two lions at the front gate and
bestowed the logical nickname Liongate upon the property. Up until very recently, the house was designed by noted architect Paul R. Williams
and was 9,359 square feet, but, for the last three years, the anonymous
Europeans who own the property have been intensively expanding—the
house is now a veritable palace at 24,000 square feet, reports the Wall Street Journal.
And now, before the work is even finished, they're putting it up for
sale.When the construction has wrapped up, the house will have
11 bedrooms and 17 bathrooms; already present and complete are the
12-seat theater with fancy "fully automated" chairs, custom water
fountains, saltwater swimming pool, and a glass elevator
that connects the immediate backyard to a tennis court and sauna on
another part of the nearly two-acre property. We know what you're
thinking: How will your servants ever figure out how to run this giant
mansion? Chill. Liongate, says the home's site, "may be delivered with a
fully trained staff if so desired." It is also being sold fully
furnished. The asking price is $65 million.
