        Sunnylands: Home of the Annenbergs...the rich are very different from you and me. Let me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me. They possess and enjoy early, and it does something to them, makes them soft where we are hard, and cynical where we are trustful, in a way that, unless you were born rich, it is very difficult to understand. They think, deep in their hearts, that they are better than we are because we had to discover the compensations and refuges of life for ourselves. Even when they enter deep into our world or sink below us, they still think that they are better than we are. They are different.   Fitzgerald, F. Scott   Sunnylands estate in Rancho Mirage, the A. Quincy Jones designed masterpiece, owned by the late billionaire publisher, phi... 10/31/2012

Absolutely gorgeous home.  Beautifully built and finished.  Originally sold in 2006 for 1.5 mil.  Listed at $999,000.  I had taken an extensive tour of the development before my clients saw it.  Beautiful, impressive on the outside..but, and this is a big but.  The devleopment is only partially built out.  Started in 2000, grand opening in 2002, and there has been nothing added to the build out since the first phase was completed!  What??? The builder/owner lives here..and doesn't owe money on it.  However, he's the 3rd or 4th owner.  Again..hmmm???  Look past the fluff and the finishes. My buyers love the home,... 10/21/2012
