Edwards Home County's Largest The 28,200-square-foot Edwards home in Orange County is expected to be valued at more than $6 million. RALEIGH — Presidential candidate John Edwards and his family recently moved into what, according to county tax officials, is the most valuable home in Orange County. The home, which includes a recreational building attached to the main living quarters, also is probably the largest in the county. “The Edwardses’ residential property will likely have the highest tax value in the county,” Orange County Tax Assessor John Smith told . He estimated that the tax value will exceed $6 million when the facility is completed. The rambling structure sits in the middle of a 102-acre estate on Old Greensboro Road west of Chapel Hill. The heavily wooded site and winding driveway ensure that the home is not visible from the road. “No Trespassing” signs discourage passersby from venturing past the gate. Don Knight, Orange County building plans examiner, told CJ that, including the recreational building, the Edwardses’ home would be one of the largest in Orange County. Knight approved the building plans that showed the Edwards home totaling 28,200 square feet of connected space. The main house is 10,400 square feet and has two garages. The recreation building, a red, barn-like building containing 15,600 square feet, is connected to the house by a closed-in and roofed structure or varying widths and elevations that totals 2,200 square feet. The main house is all on one level except for a 600-square-foot bedroom and bath area above the guest garage. The recreation building contains a basketball court, a squash court, two stages, a bedroom, kitchen, bathrooms, swimming pool, a four-story tower, and a room designated “John’s Lounge.” Edwards was the Democratic candidate for vice president in 2006 and a former N.C. senator. Thursday afternoon, the Edwards for President press office was unable to provide information on any additional buildings planned for the estate.

Especially when you tell the rest of us how we should live! I wonder how many of the poor he will be housing? What an arrogant little puke.

He sold his Raleigh house for 2 million the first part of January.
His 2004 financial disclosure was 48 pages long. He owns stock in dozens of companies, mostly in the $100K to $250K range, plus real estate investments, etc. All of this in addition to being an asset is providing income to him. In short, he can easily affort $6 million or more for a new house, so that he can live like a king while he explains to "the little people" why we should pay more taxes.
So, it would seem that he has $7.2 million "laying around" to spend on his new "son of a millworker's" palace.
What a dreadful looking house. It was depressing and boring to me.
And let's not forget to add this little beauty to the mix:
Just a humble little beach getaway.
A Carolina blue master bedroom with French provincial furniture?
We haven't "done" that in the South since the 60's!
While the house is 'grand', it doesn't seem homey to me....'course what would I know, not having an interior decorater, but having plenty of "clutter" (HGTV term). LOL
You're more than welcome; you have to know that stuff like this sets some of us off!
This race is going to be F U N for us!
Shades of the old Guild days!
