What Does $15,000,000 Buy You In Nassau County Long Island? This is what you get for $15M: Old Westbury NY Georgian Mansion As you can see from the consumer version of the listing, this mansion is in Old Westbury NY and was on the market for 6 days! The property size is just over 400,000 sq. ft. The home itself is 22,000 sq. ft. Listed for $20,000,000 and sold for $15,880,000. It closed on 3/7/2011. What would you do with all that space? We can dream of owning a home like this but let's face it, it costs a small fortune to run a household of this magnitude so you better have the cash. Speaking of cash, this home was bought with CASH! No mortgage. For privacy reasons, I can't show you who bought the home or who now owns the home but the buyer did pay cash. As you can see, there are only ...

 Feng Shui and Real Estate:  A Realtor Discouraging a Purchase in New York? I received an interesting call this morning from a New York State Real Estate Agent who had a knowledge and understanding of Feng Shui. She wanted to have a Feng Shui Consultant on hand, she told me, because a prospective buyer had looked at a home on Long Island in the town of Old Westbury in the famed Gold Coast of Long Island and she felt the home would have a negative effect on her particular client. This is a total reversal from what I hear from most Real Estate Agents who dread the thought of calling in a Feng Shui Consultant for fear they will be told the home or business they are interested in would not be a beneficial move for them.  As a Feng Shui Consultant in New York for over 12 years, this particul...

It occurred to me that most of you, the majority in fact, would most likely never see the inside of a beautiful place; a Monastery.  A Monastery is defined as " a place of residence occupied by a community of persons, especially Monks living in seclusion under Religious Vows."  When Professor Lin Yun arrived her in the early 1980's, he decided to open a Monastery.  His original one is located in Berkely, California and his second one is right here on Long Island, in Old Westbury (The Gold Coast).  Most of the monks that live at the Monastery take care of the land and any work that needs to be done.  In addition, most of them are under a "vow of silence."  This is a beautiful and amazing place but several years ago, residents in the community decided this lovely place was a "cult."  For ...
