Hilton Home In Seacrest Beach - Paradise By The Sea

By having the emboldened part in his statement above SHELLY makes it so he can't be wrong. Obviously there is some reason that it isn't finished yet, or else it would be finished. Possible example : Maybe the guy just likes seeing it in process, hence that would be a personal benefit.

The statement was made in response to someone who said one of the reasons it's taking so long to build is because of the individually structured metal door and window frames :roll:

I had the property appraiser at one of my jobs 2 days ago that was pre-C.O. Once you get to a certain point in construction the County can probably begin taxing the improvement.

It doesn't make math sense for a multi-million dollar project to move slowly so that the property taxes don't get raised. I know Shelly's usually correct, but Shelly's wrong about this one. Mr. Hilton can finish his home anytime he feels like it. He's got the manpower and cash.

Then do tell how much Hilton is paying for taxes on this beachside confection?

...while you're at it, what's he paying for his present homestead property?

Exactly what he wants to pay.

By the way, the grapevine says the Hilton House may be preparing for occupancy as early as February?.?.? (I know, I know, February what year? We've already heard that one.)

He better get in their and claim his homestead. Luckily the county decided that the value dropped $2.1 million from '07 to '08. :scratch:

Around 30-40 grand depending on the year you look at.

For his residence in Bay County, if he still lives there, is $328,523.57 per year.

I understand that he actually lives quite humbly in his primary. You may be looking at something else. You know he controls much real property.

That large sum is for the Holiday Inn Sunspree. Charlie and his wife used to live in one of the Penthouse units. Not sure if they still do. ;-)

somebody earlier in the thread mentioned that the house was being painted another color besides white. was it beige? anyone have any pictures of this?

It's definately been painted. The color I would best describe it as is Sand. No pictures at this time.

Somewhere between beige and off white.

I can't believe you would stoop so low as to refer to that home as possibly beige. You still receiving TV signal from '79 and watching "SOAP" at your crib?

Don't insult the classic television. Soap reruns are way better comedy than just about anything on the air today. And the alien abduction story arc was far ahead of its time.

I had to record Soap on an audio cassette. Our Bishop condemned the show, but I think he was referring to watching the show. I don't remember what the Catholic Church was concerned about. It's probably not relevant anymore anyway. Wasn't that when Billy Crystal or Tom Hanks were newbies?

Arrested Development outdid Soap, but they had 30 years to consider it.

Tom Hanks got his break on Bosum Buddies a little while later. (I'm of the age that I remember watching Bosum Buddies and Benson in first run, but only got the jokes in Soap many years later when it was in syndication)

I used to love SOAP!!

I heard, not to long ago, the reason it's not going to be completed is, he pays taxes on a $5,000,000 constuction loan and not $30,000,000 when completed. Must be nice. It is quite the home. Hope they have an open house someday.

The original intent was that the home would blend into the beach from the sky. Then folks started putting something other than the original color of beach sand back onto the beaches for re-nourishment and whala....he has to change the color of his home to blend to the new beach color. It's just a thought.

I would love to know who said that. Sowal locals and their stories amaze me every time. How on earth does that even make sense?

That would be quite the miracle as I was born in '80.

The fact that anyone thinks that Charlie Hilton has a loan to build that thing is beyond me. Why pay interest when you can pay cash? If you look it up it's currently worth almost 4 million and last year was magically worth almost 6 million. Guess he doesn't have quite the pull in Walton county as he did in Bay county with Barnett.

I seen a story in the paper on this did anyone read this. May be done by end of year

I went exploring today thru Scenic 30-A. As we were driving thru Watercolor, Seaside, Rosemary Beach. I noticed incredible house on the water side/ocean that is being constructed.

What type/kind of home is that? Any details?

Thanks.
