Fitting for a software genius like Bill, the advanced tech used in this home is excitingly impressive.
Extensively Spanning 66,000 sq. ft. in Medina, Washington, it took a whopping 7 years to build Xanadu, which also serves as his primary residence. Guests can change the artwork on the walls at the touch of the interior wall. The walls are just like a touchscreen.
The estate features a 60-foot pool with an underwater music system and an artificial stream stocked with fish.
Bill Gates’ favorite 40-year-old maple tree is electronically monitored and watered 24 hours a day. Additionally, the estate includes a trampoline room with a 20-foot ceiling.
The mansion is an “earth-sheltered” house, utilizing its natural surroundings to regulate temperature efficiently and reduce heat loss.
The word “Xanadu” means opulent/luxurious place, and Bill has indeed created his personal paradise here.
