Bill Gates' house is a large earth-sheltered mansion in the side of a hill overlooking Lake Washington in Medina, Washington. The house is noted for its design and the technology it incorporates.
The house is a modern design in the Pacific lodge style, with classic features such as a large private library and a big dome-shaped room. The house occupies 50,000 square feet (4,600 m²) on a 5.15 acre (2.1 ha) lot. Garage space and outbuildings may occupy an additional 16,000 square feet. Property records indicate eight bedrooms and four building levels. According to King County public records, as of 2005, the total assessed value of the property (land and house) is $135,758,169 and the annual property tax for 2006 is $1,012,321. The address of the mansion is 1835 73rd Ave NE, Medina, WA 98039.
The lot was purchased in December 1988 for $2 million, and construction occurred over a period of seven and a half years with nominal completion in 1995. The house is located on the east end of the lot, which is located on a hill.
Gates often entertains the rich and powerful at his home. Once when Bill Gates had a private party for the National Governors Association at the house, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced a "temporary security zone" around Gates' Lake Washington home which locked down all of Lake Washington south of the Highway 520 bridge and stayed in effect for two days. Do you Mr. and Ms. America get this kind of security from Uncle Sam---? See what the Billionaire pigs get, you didn't know, egh?. The cost to you the taxpayer for this Security Zone was $5,347,888 according to the office of management and budget GAO---Fuck, you paid to keep Bill Safe, ain't ya all ever so proud, you should be you paid for it!
A 17 × 60 foot (5.1 × 18.2 meter) swimming pool
An underwater music system and a fossil-motif floor. There is also a glass wall which can be divided.
A locker room off the pool that has four showers and two baths.
The number of building permits needed completely overwhelmed the Medina county clerk's office, necessitating the move to a new Linux-based computer infrastructure to deal with the volume.
The house was designed by James Cutler of James Cutler Architects and the architectural firm Bohlin Cywinski Jackson.
