Now, we've all played the game of "If I had unlimited money, here's the house I'd build" before. I've certainly done it and it involves a couple thousand acres, a rally/off-road track, mountains, a lake, and hopefully a bunch of deer and elk on the property. And a garage that'd make Jay Leno jealous, but filled with motorcycles and other powersports vehicles.
Unfortunately, I wasn't born into Vanderbilt money. Hell, I wasn't even born into "I can afford another cup of coffee today" money, but I've done my best in giving my kids a percentage of that fantasy in our backyard. But there are those who have it and those who've enacted the sort of wild-eyed insanity that I'd absolutely love to do.
Case in point, this home in Parma, Idaho, that features a full-scale motocross track and oh so much more. But, honestly, it feels like this was a bargain given its $3.5 million asking price.
The home in question, if you can call it that, is a 3,400 square-foot house nestled on 42 acres of land just outside Boise on the Idaho-Oregon border, and it features countless things every powersports enthusiast would ever want, including a full-scale motocross track.
According to the Zillow listing, "This 42.83-acre Motocross Compound estate is an Idaho haven! Wrought iron gates lead you to the beautiful custom stucco home w/ vast views. The home is filled with natural light from oversized windows, & the grand fireplace makes the great room feel extra cozy. Step out on the back patio & enjoy the stunning built-in hot tub w/ water feature, gas fire pit, pool, custom outdoor kitchen w/ pizza oven, & pool house." So yeah, it has all your basic life necessities—sarcasm. But it gets better.
"The property features a well-equipped CrossFit gym, indoor basketball court, go-kart track, & karts. Don't forget the two watered motocross tracks & a BMX track. The large pond features a wakeboard pulley, wakeboard jumps, BMX ramp, jet ski, 50 ft rope swing, sand volleyball area & Tiki Hut. The large shop is perfect for storing all your extra toys & equipment. The immaculately landscaped yard has two professionally designed golf greens & 6 tee boxes. There is also a pasture area for your horses or cattle," adds the listing.
There is one issue, however, and that's that it recently sold, so you won't be able to buy it. But we can dream, though, and maybe take a little inspiration the next time we want to daydream about our perfect compound, right? I wonder where I could put the Tiki bar in my backyard...
