What a classy home. Thank you for let us see inside.
This house is so beautiful! The library is definitely my favorite part of the house

He owns mineral rights. Guaranteed.
So strange, on the face of it I wouldn't think of this as my favorite style, but the art and house work so well together I can't help but love it. Beautiful place, thanks for the tour!
I adore this man. He's so cool and smart and humble.
This library reminds me of my home library when I was a child. My elder brothers worked hard to build that library
That library 😲👏 with the almost maze like glass bridges that form the second story. One of those things you see that will ever persist in your mind. So extra, yet so his laid back style at the same time.
It's modern but not cold and impersonal. Gorgeous!
I can only imagine the fascinating dinner conversation about how the art and library were collected!
Honestly this is my dream home 😭
Whatever insurance policy this guy has, I want it.
What a peaceful and comfortable home. The art is amazing.
Simply gorgeous, everything talks to one another, well selected art pieces and perfectly placed. Dream home !!!
Thank you for sharing your art filled home. It was a blessing to see the pieces that surround the space.
the art you own it's absolutely amazing, I'm completely speechless. Well done.
What a beautiful home. Absolutely gorgeous
Great home and great interior design, David. David, you look familiar. I may have seen you or met you at a rare book event or an ethnographic art event in Southern California, where I live and do much of my collecting. If I see you at another such event, I'll be sure to say hello.
Very beautiful & unusual pieces of art. Extremely loved the concept of the house.
Awesome showcase for an amazing collection of artwork!❤️
What a wonderful , humble person you are. I loved the African pieces especially the boat full of people. Thankyou for showing your lovely home. May you enjoy every single moment in it .

Best wall street Journal thank you thank you
I wish that my art gallery here in Jamaica will be as beautiful as this place.
What an amazing collection of African art. I've never seen a collection of African art so similar to mine. Thank you for sharing. If you allow tours, I would love to one day see your collection in person.
That insurance check must have paid off

Yes....please will you leave quickly my morning All-Bran is kicking in! 😂
Coming from NY Town House collection. Yes, he IS RIGHT. This is the Musem house with themes of arts. And my type. I love that Indian weaving in the center wall of dining room. This is TX and wondering how he got so many arts and organized them plus house building in so fast. Impressive enough. Love that museum house esp the light, the wall and the whole architecture design are exactly as THE MUSEM in mini scale. And this is A REAL art collector. I would like to sit here to APPRICIATE each piece of arts that my eyes and brain won't feel bored instead of that tacky NY box house without book wall but MONEY, MONEY STILL MONEY. It shows this owner knows the meanings of life with a fine quality.🙂 Heehaa, TX. Should have some more American Indian arts.
THAT is my dream house!
Lovely host. Beautiful house.
I do not like the outside exterior but the inside was definitely cool!
I wish to visit one day
Beutiful, Beutiful HOME!
Very cool house and guy!
"Wow this house has amazing Architecture."
I’m speechless (in a good way)...
beautiful...classy...ataahua...tino pai all the way from aotearoa(nz)
I like the two story library. But it needed more book shelves ;)
.🔥 . i hope the property is fireproof . 🔥.
That looks northern european style. Really nice.
I've got 2,000 books in my 1100 square foot house. It's cramped.
My dream house
I love it!! I'm doing the same in my home highlighting African and African American Culture, The good and the bad.
Wooooow nice 👌
Is the house design available , if so please share
I want to live in that house.
WOW LOOK AT THE MASKS
That is a beautiful home. Noticed the have some "vejigante" masks.
I like your museum house 😃
Dang I want my house to be like this when i grow up, but 3 million dollars !! 😭😭
I would like to know more about this owner and how he accumulated his wealth . I would love to be able to build such a house ! Thanks

He owns mineral rights.
He must be a prof. I am 100% sure even he knew chared wood. Amazing intelligent. Also Welcome to Melbourne, Down Under, please.... a passenger ever lived on Rocky Mt campus 🙂
i approve! but first I need a house or a loft 😂😂
David thank you for your tour! I'm sure your wife is as interesting an individual as you are. Tell her I envy her for finding my perfect man!
I should be sad living in a 40 year old mobile but i do have an acre and a half and get to keep 6 dogs and two horses with 4 cats and a couple birds. THEY and their spirits decorate my home and land….including the hair! I actually do art myself but im not great….its mainly something creative for me and sometimes i do quite well. I am making a copy of one I did for a person who said they must have it! Since it was something special for me when i did it i wanted to keep it. She said can you copy it? No real money. Just materials and posteage and she sent me a printed t-shirt which i will cherish. Its the little things sometimes you know. Sure im jealous im not rich and successful with money to show for it but there is a different kind of richness i am able to embrace. For anybody else who is a green eyed monster like me when i see how some people live. It be nice to have it all!
😊👍
