The ground level section of the house probably contains nothing of great value. The main level which looks to be 15-20 above ground has all the nice furnishings, fixtures and building materials.
Yeah. Regardless of Affleck’s fame and fortune, the house would’ve fallen under FEMA’s floodplain guidelines when it was built. I think I read in the REALTOR.com description that the garage was on the lower level. I’d venture to say, any newer homes built in the area...whether a plantation mansion or a 1000sf house...was built well above the ground. That’s just standard for floodplains anymore. Ignoring FEMA guidelines runs flood insurance right up.
