Looking on google -- it also looks like there might be a trailer park just to the west of it. Might want to make that wall a bit higher? I wonder how long it has been vacant and on the market. And also can't help wondering about the owner -- did the excessive 80's lifestyle kill him? Amazing place — I’d love to see it in person.

Because that then shows you that this thing backs up to a big trucking depot. Yeah... I wanna live with that!

Looks from the aerial that the house & the ‘construction company’ WERE very much related to begin with. Perhaps this place could be turned into a corporate retreat. Or host a Biggest Loser TV show where participants heave construction materials around and get the landscaping back into shape!
