Eddy Cue Selling His Gorgeous Vacation Home Near Lake Tahoe for $12 Million

It's a pretty attractive interior - not crazy about the satellite view for that coin - re: proximity of neighbours and golf course.
Wasn't Bonanza shot on the east side of the lake? Eddie's house is northwest, but not terribly far.
[doublepost=1525975397][/doublepost]Here's the Zillow listing. Lots more pics, but I think they may be the same as on the MLS site.
Like many luxury homes these days, the ceiling height and room sizes are totally out of scale for what's actually contained within them. Look at that bedroom...it's like a modern day version of Xanadu from Citizen Kane. Way too huge, and given that he's selling it within three years of having it built, he either didn't like it that much or it was always intended as an investment property.
I assume he's selling it so he can move up to something bigger and better....maybe in the south of France.
Maybe everyone on MR could pool our money and buy it as a time share 
Because that makes complete sense. A corporate executive places his house up for sale, that should indicate he might be fired? Say/think what you want about Eddy Cue, but his success within Apple‘s company and clearly it’s proven over the years through the Jobs and Cook era.
No mention of whether the photos in the listing were taken using an iPhone X...
Seriously though, the properties some people have are simply amazing. I had a reward lunch at a directors house near the city. They had one room dedicated to the filtration and aeration system for their aquatic tanks - that room alone was bigger than the floorplan of my house.

uh ok so 12M house plus cue with many more mega $s. is he worth that much to aapl. never met the dude but - just sayin
Agreed. I’ve never understood the need for mansions and McMansions. My wife and I spend the vast majority of our time in about 900 square feet of our home. As a result we’ve wound up in a 1,3000 square foot home. I get why couples with children (and teenagers in particular) would want and need more room for personal sanity reasons but to us anything more than 1,300 square feet is overkill and a complete and total waste of money.
Would anyone be surprised if Ive is actually a vampire who sleeps in a glass and aluminum casket, inside a structure that's a 500:1 scale fascimile of an Apple product box?
As for Cue's home in question, the listing doesn't mention a heated driveway, so I'm out...!
This property is beautiful for sure but not my style. I would rather buy or build something in Provence, somewhere between Marseille and Saint-Raphäel. It makes sense for someone working in SV to be close enough in case they are needed on very short notice though.
It's a MacMansion.
As to the proportions of the place? One factor is simply proportion - a certain amount of floor space needs a certain amount of air space, otherwise it all seems a bit claustrophobic. Then, of course, we get into one of the goals of all monumental architecture - to awe either occupants, guests, or both.
We could speculate endlessly on why someone who seemingly has sufficient resources would sell such a place so soon after building it. My family once owned a far more modest log vacation home, on a far more modest lake. However, it was big stuff to us (I sometimes described it as a "small Ponderosa"). In the end, as much as we loved it, the time came when we rarely had the time to use it. It was hard to justify even the relatively modest carrying costs. Under the circumstances, keeping it seemed wasteful.
Didn't a 3X widower father and his 3 sons live there about 140 years or so ago? Named Cartwright or something like that. Cattle ranchers & lumber if I remember right.
Cue's house is more over where the guy is squatting buy the river-side.
