Integrated kitchen dining area, glass indoor garden, indoor swimming pool, outdoor swimming pool, tennis court, wine storage room, sauna, gymnasium, bowling alley, electronic entertainment room......

Everything that European and American luxury houses should have, a full range of living facilities, everything.

Outside the villa building, layers of trees surround the villa, which is very private.

Outside the garden with sculptures and fountains, there is a sunny beach with a line between the sea and the sky.

On the other side of the sea is the outline of the United Nations building.

It can only be seen as a rough idea, but it is also a gimmick.

The geographical location is in New York Royal Point, the English name of Royal Point is Kings Point, which directly translates to King Point.

This is a town in the New York metropolitan area that belongs to Nassau County.

In the movie "The Great Gatsby", the prototype of Gatsby's manor is also in this area.

Such a mansion covers an area of 8.2 acres, which translates to more than 33,000 square meters.

The offer is $65 million.

Want to buy it,

In addition to the $65 million, there are also corresponding taxes.

For such a large house, the annual investment in repair and maintenance is likely to exceed $500,000.

And in such a large manor villa, if two masters live, there must be at least seven or more servants serving.

1 to 2 cooks. Three or so housekeeping attendants.

2 to 3 gardeners or cleaners.

And that's not even counting the permanent bodyguards, and the security system.

If the pomp and circumstance are a little extravagant, then the number is more than doubled.

If you pay more attention to luxury, the number of service staff will increase several times.

For example, some wealthy people have special shoes polishing for their owners, cleaning the swimming pool, designing itineraries, and even asking people to walk their dogs.

To serve such a family, it even requires more than 100 professional maids.

The 7 to 8 people that Abel calculated can be said to be very economical.

But even these 7 to 8 people need to pay more than $500,000 a year.

To maintain the operation of such a luxurious estate, it takes at least one million dollars per year.

On top of that, there's the property tax.

That's right, American property, real estate, real estate, are all freehold.

But, the inheritance tax is terrible.

However, even if inheritance tax is excluded, property tax is payable every year.

If you choose not to pay it.

In accordance with New York State regulations.

From the beginning of the next fiscal year, after five fiscal years, it has not been handed over.

The title to the house will be transferred to the state government in preparation for the next auction.

Of course, at any time before the official auction.

The original owner of the house can still get the property right back as long as all the payments are paid.

But if it is officially auctioned, the owner permanently loses the title and cannot get it back.

The tax rate is based on the price of the property. It's about between 1% and 3%.

The price of the property is assessed by a special department, and the annual tax is charged according to this assessed value.

The tax on the New York side depends on the place. Floats between 1.2% and 3%.

Manhattan is the highest,

It's okay here on Long Island.

The 1.5% annual real estate tax, 65 million multiplied by 0.015, is about 970,000.

Even if you buy a house but don't live in it, you have to pay 970,000 yuan in taxes every year.

That is, to live in such a house.

Taxes plus daily expenses per year, starting at $2 million.

It's really not something that ordinary rich people can afford, at least billionaires.

Fortunately, Abel is such a billionaire, and he still likes this villa very much.

Compared to his family in Texas, the main focus is on the functional farmer's estate.

Here on Long Island,

This kind mainly talks about luxury, comfortable living and beautiful mansions.

He still prefers this kind of thing.

The point is that it's not that far from Manhattan, 20 miles in a straight line.

By car, it's only about 40 miles.

Rich people don't need to drive at all, they go directly to and fro by helicopter.

This distance, for a helicopter, it does not take half an hour from take-off to landing.

And most of the time, in fact, it is mainly consumed on take-off and landing.

It's perfectly possible to work in Manhattan and live on Long Island.

That's why Nassau County and Suffolk County on Long Island are so popular with New York's wealthy.

After an hour and a half of strolling, Abel did not walk through the whole area.

At most, he only went to a third of the place, but he had already decided to buy it.

"This is it." He said to David Jones, who was half a step behind him and deferentially speaking:

"Talk to the buyer. The price was $60 million, and I bought it right away. ”

It's not that if someone offers $65 million, you have to pay $65 million to buy it.

This kind of mansion can often be negotiated a little.

It's just that this location, this area, and this level of interior decoration.

$60 million should still be needed, so Abel is not ruthless in bargaining.

"No problem." David Jones smiled: "We're going to negotiate with the landlord right away." ”

Although it is 65 million, Yuntong can earn more and have a little more commission.

But people are looking far ahead.

It is more important to get the favor of the guests than this profit.

When the customer is goodwill and becomes a loyal customer.

More long-term profits.

After seeing this mansion, Abel was not so interested in other people's houses.

He'll buy it later, but that's for later.

Next is the company's new location, and Yuntong offers three options.

One is the town center of Huangdian Town, which is relatively close to this mansion, a five-storey flat-roofed commercial building.

The total area is about 10,000 square feet, and the five-story building area is more than 30,000 square feet.

Underground parking, company plaza and more are available within an hour's drive from Manhattan.

The second place is in Queens, just across the Hudson River from Manhattan.

Queens has the second largest economy in New York and exhibits a diverse economic structure.

New York's busiest airports, John F. Kennedy International Airport and LaGuardia Airport, are located in the area.

This part of the river from Manhattan is also the choice of many financial companies.

The third place is an outlying island located at the mouth of the Hudson River.

"Manderson Island is an area of more than 20,000 feet. The island buildings are also ready-made. ”

"But there's no fresh water on the island, and electricity and internet have to go from Manhattan to the bottom of the ocean," David Jones said. Life is very inconvenient. ”

"The good thing is that it's close to Manhattan, about the same as Queens."

"So what's the alternative? Just go straight to Queens. Abel shrugged.

Queens is the closest to this mansion and close to Manhattan and two airports.

There are many other well-known corporate headquarters in the vicinity, such as Long Island Bank, General Motors Group Headquarters, and many more.

Not in Manhattan, and not wanting to stay far from Wall Street.

Queens is the best choice.
