Mansionmania continues. I'm going to show you the most expensive homes in every state and a few territories, with a few extras thrown in from the largest states to get the tourney up to 64. It'll be a single-elimination tournament.

You will choose among each pair of houses with the following assumptions:

The purchase price for you is $0.
All maintenance, utilities, property taxes, HOA fees, and cleaning is included.
You must live in the home for the rest of your life.
You can't travel more than 100 miles from home (via google maps drive time) other than 1 two-week vacation each year.
You get $250,000 per year as a living allowance
You get an additional living allowance at the cheaper home, which will be valued at 1% of any cost difference annually. I will note this amount in the poll.
You get the furnishings. If unfurnished, you get an allowance that will give you mid-grade furniture in every room.
You get any vehicles in the garage. But only the garage - nothing parked outside.

I encourage you to click on the maps in the listings to see the general location and neighborhood.

Also, I will only enter contestants if they have a sufficient number of photos to judge, as determined by me.

Your entries in this heat are:

AK house is nice, but CO all day, every day.

This one is a bit WTF.

Is that an office? Bathroom? And is that viewing window for outsiders when you shower?

I think you don't spend enough time doing your makeup. You have to have a place to do your makeup, and it might as well have a nice view.

Hey
I know that Aspen house. I supplied a bit of specialty lumber on it back 7 or 8 years ago.
It is a pretty sweet spot. Just outside of town a couple of miles heading up indy pass.
