For Sale: Most Expensive VC Home in Country

Here's one way to sidestep having to raise money from LPs: Sell your house for $76-million.

The most expensive house for sale in San Diego County -- and maybe in the country -- is a venture guy's abode. Bill Stensrud, ex of Enterprise Partners here in La Jolla, has put up for sale his 5.7 acre oceanfront estate in Del Mar for $76-million, a hypothetical "three-bagger" on his purchase price of merely seven years ago.

Some details:

1937 Colonial-style mansion

10,000 square feet
Nine bedrooms,
7½ bathrooms,

Inlaid floors installed by Swedish craftsmen
Guest house
Assessed value of $27.3 million and the property taxes last year of $271,269

You can ogle via a satellite view here at The Google.

More here, including Del Mar sorts saying "Dont buy" because the local planning council is too much of a pain. Well darn, I guess I'm out.

Re: Which movie will make the most money this summer? - [quote="ideasuniversity":1941330f]I saw Mummy 3 yesterday with my friends yesterday and I was really impressed. The movie house was filled to the brim. I also saw Indiana Jones, but I am yet to see The Batman. I don't know which will make money more thn the ohter until I check wikipedia.com[/quote:1941330f] I feel that movies like "The Dark Knight" that are genuinely good and make the most money should win all the accolades/awards. I mean, how can a movie that barely anyone has seen like last year's "No Country For Old Men" win the Oscar for "Best Picture"?? While I did take the time to watch "No Country For Old Men" and thought it was ok, it's not something I'd want to watch over again or recommend to a friend. In fact, "Fargo" was probably a better version of "No Country For Old Men". For instance, would you award the Entrepreneur of the Year Award to someone (or a business) no one has heard of, but did everything perfectly... or would you give it to the person/business that made the most money/media impact?
Re: Trade Shows - Are They Worth It? - HI, I have used trade shows (not participated) to collect potential clients. For example, the Home & Garden Industry is extremely behind the time in regards to their websites. I attended an Home & Garden Expo in Denver and collected all the companies contact information. I plan on cold calling & mailing information to each business. It also gave me time to research the industry more, talk directly to the owners in many cases, and learn more about what they need. Jeff
Re: Getting Started - [quote="Hyman":32u6n4jp]Hello to everyone, from Williamston, North Carolina. I am interested in getting my vision of an indoor waterpark industry started. I am seeking guidance and advice on accomplishing a successful business plan. Thank you.[/quote:32u6n4jp] Water Country USA opened a couple of years ago here in Hampton Roads, VA, quite close to Busch Gardens... I've actually never been there but friends have and it must be a huge place.... Which will cost millions of dollars - to buy the land, to build the "rides", to get the water... So I'm also wondering if you'd care to share more of your dream... do you have investors lined up, a location picked out, etc?
Try wikipedia.com for more information - That depends what type of business you are involved in. Maybe if you share that, we can help you a little better. I work mostly in the Work at Home industry so my advice would only be along those lines.
Franchises in Texas... - I wonder if any Home Depots are going to open in Houston and environs to take care of rebuilding the city and suburbs? At the very least, it will probably be a boon for construction and home repair workers.... and scammers too, of course.
