I can barely afford monthly rent for a one room apartment so it's crazy to me some people have enough money to abandon a mansion🤧

Imagine how successful this place could be for a rehabilitation center. Middle of nowhere. Beautiful area huge house to accommodate people in need. They could fix the whole place up for free while working on recovering

Honestly it's kind of insulting leaving abandoned places like this, given how many people are living in the street nowadays.

Just found your channel and find it fascinating! Unfortunately, this particular home, in the Lehigh Valley, PA area was built in 2000 for a husband and wife unrelated to Ms. Swift. It was likely purchased with the proceeds of the physician wife, who had her PA medical license permanently revoked in 2016. I practice in this general area, and it was a big local story at the time. The wife, a DO ( doctor of osteopath ) was sentenced to 7~ years in prison circa 2016 for running a long time opiate pill mill, defrauding Medicare/ Medicaid, killing one patient, attempting to smuggle narcotics into jail during her original trial and having a very serious drug issue herself. I wish I was joking, but sadly I’m not. I believe the property sold for ~$450K in 2019. Keep up the fascinating tours please. 👍

My Aunt and Uncle lived in a 10,000 square ft mansion in Toronto and it was over $70,000 a year just to keep the place running not including a mortgage...Ppl don't realize just how incredibly expensive it is to keep these places going. Stay humble ppl and live with what you need! ✌️

According to someone who lives in this neighborhood this was never owned by Taylor Swift. It changed owners 3x while being built and was an eyesore for the neighbors - but TS never had anything to do with it.

Firstly, Your mannerisms and explore venues are always respectful and credible, there's many different KZfaq channels and yours standout. Having your properties correct history is completely commendable and rare. You'll be remembered, but legitimately respected. Great work Banks!

Comment from another video about the same house Andrea 2 years ago This was not Taylor Swift's nor her parents home. I lived across the street on Brighton Court for 10 years. The home was built in 2000 and exchanged hands 3 times. It was recently purchased in November 2019 for $451,000. It is in foreclosure. This home was an eyesore for my neighborhood for years. So no this is not Taylor Swifts parents home.

I've been in Real Estate for 30+ years, and have seen $5m, $10m, and even $20 million houses like this .....I'd say this one is only about $4 or $5 mil in construction cost, believe it or not... they usually get foreclosed on because something happened - like owner had a bad business deal that ruined him, divorce, death, or embezzlement of the construction funds ....lots of different reasons. I don't know what happened here, but one guy below said it was never owned by TS.... Instead of living in something sensible and saving their money, a lot of these people build a "monument to their ego" as I like to call it, and when their house of cards falls down, this is what happens !

That’s why it’s best to live a simple life...

This video made me sick to see how someone can spend so much money then abandoned it, and leave it full of garbage. If I had an opportunity to ever own a place as beautiful as this I would never in a million years left it. I would have done something with it. Thank you for sharing . I love your videos. ❤❤❤

I was part of the crew of one of the sub contractors that worked at this house I was there for 8-1/2 months Taylor swift and her family had nothing to do with this house her first mansion was located in PROVIDENCE R.I. the original owners were a pair of doctors when we worked there

Regardless of who has ever owned it: it would take tons of money to maintain it, apparently. When you look at houses this big in Europe that have lasted hundreds of years - this one is bad work.

Architecturally speaking, the house looks like it was built by a contractor pretending to be an architect. Totally tacky. So many homeless people in the world, and then there is this.

As a local, no way was this Taylor Swifts parents house. There have been many unsubstantiated rumors over the years. I’d love to see some proof.

I live near this place and have done work in the surrounding homes. It was first rumored to be Tom Cruises. So whichever story is accurate .. it doesn’t take away from the fact that’s it’s gigantic …and a shame for something like this to be left in disarray.

Mansions are a waste of money especially when it’s just one or two people living in one💰

When I see this home, all I can think of is how many homeless people it could shelter. There are decent people who, for some type of tragic circumstances, have lost their homes. What a beautiful place to be left to ruin. So sad.

I sub’d today. I like your videos and I appreciate the extra information you provide. I’ll have to see and watch as to why this one was abandoned. Thx for the upload.

Really enjoyed your video! What a beautiful mansion! So sad to see something that big and beautiful be abandoned.

This angers me to see so much work put into this giant and just left to rot!

After 10 years and it's already falling apart . Doesn't say alot about New thing's

Just found your channel recently and love it so far. God bless you for the integrity you bring to your videos! This made me really upset. Why wouldn't someone hold Taylor accountable for leaving this property like this!!!! There are SO many people needing homes and shelter and knowing that this could house and help others....blows my mind! Also-Not sure if you said where this was but Nashville has flooding not too long ago that many lost everything.....WHY NOT TURN THIS INTO A REFUGE! I cannot imagine having SO much money that you just put out million dollars to be built only to leave it abandoned. Sickening!!!! May God bless you greatly!

This is sad. I just found your channel, and I love it. Thank you!

This home has a very cold feel about it, It looks like it was thrown together like Lego and the dilapidation has set in big time,

Imagine having so much money you can build a mansion for fun. What a waste of money!

I must say, I appreciate your respectfulness for not needing to swear and cuss every other word like a lot (most) of people. It's just not needed or necessary and it lowers your intelligence level. Thanks 😊

The much-discussed and captivating home on more than 5 acres has been around for 17 years now atop a bluff in a high-end development in western Lehigh County's Lowhill Township. It's the manor of The Manor subdivision. It's had two owners but no one's ever lived there, a real estate agent said. And it's been back on the market for several months now. This nine-bedroom, seven-full-bath castle of concrete, steel and brick in a neighborhood of mere mansions isn't for the average buyer. For starters, despite its metal tile roof, it's not finished. Not nearly. And, when it comes to interior finishes, much of what is done might need to be undone, then redone. Oh, and the price tag? North of $1 million. And it doesn't help that the kind of homes that sold for $1 million 10 years ago in the Lehigh Valley now go for $600,000 and are beautiful, he said. But this property has some things that others don't -- land that on the open market would probably draw $300,000, Paranee said. It's basically a par 3 from tee to green. It's in a good school district and has breathtaking views. And the home's guts -- the concrete, brick and steel -- could set a builder back $2 million to replicate, Paranee estimated. In-floor heat and central air. The mechanical rooms are impressive. Five garages and a separate workshop with a garage door of its own. Two in-law suites on the first level, each with a bedroom, kitchen, bathroom and living room. There's a library. A media room. Huge laundry rooms and an office. A master suite with a windowed reading loft, marble bath and walk-in closets. A place for a covered pool below the second-floor deck.

I want to be transparent with all of my viewers! At the time of filming and posting I hadn’t done a lot of research of the mansion like I usually do. I went with what I saw on other videos. So I’ve come to find out that it being Taylor Swift’s parents was just a rumor. Regardless this abandoned mansion is absolutely stunning and I hope everyone enjoys the explore all together!

This video absolutely made me sick to my stomach The money that people have and they just waste it It's just really disgusting to me Thank you for showing us how ignorant the wealthy can be and greedy Love your videos take care be safe

Imagine what a wonderful Veterans rehabilitation home it would make?!?!?!? People so deserving of a home.

I love how you respected the property and did force your way in.. kudo's

I don’t know who’s it is but my heart is heavy when there are so many sleeping on the streets, underpasses and sewers. This world is upside down

Simple life is the best life. God bless!

As someone who is in the business, just looking at it with a trained eye, you can tell this house was built very poorly.

Hold up... was that a Weber Smokey Joe grill that someone just left abandoned on the porch? I can understand abandoning a house but that's a perfectly good grill right there. 😅

This breaks my heart. So many who are in need, most work to the bone and can't afford homes and this is just rotting away?!?! Ppl are ruthless. I'm not perfect but I give until there is nothing left. This is a shame, on her parents too.

Sorry and I mean this respectfully but this was proven a while ago that it was NOT hers/her parents’ house. A neighbor to that house said it went into foreclosure and sold in November 2019 for $450k. The house she bought her parents is in Nashville.

Absolutely disgusting how many buildings are just abandoned when the need for housing in this country is so desperate. I appreciate your filming and wish something could be done to make use of some of these buildings.

Just imagine yourself with a cup of coffee coming down those steps in the morning and hearing the birds chirping what a life I'd love to live one day

It’s sad to see beautiful homes homes abandoned. This is a beauty

I love all your videos Big Bankz keep them coming!!

Thanks guys for showing what you could! I love your channel and liked, subbed, and I hit the bell! Seeing the scripture flash made my night!

A beautiful place just sitting there being wasted , thanks for the tour 👍

It's ashame that it was built and no one lives in this beautiful home. It is a beautiful home, Pella windows are great brand, so it had high quality brands. Thank you for sharing.🙂

That would make an incredible wedding venue!

May God Bless us all to have open eyes and live in the spirit and not the flesh...because none of us are getting out alive...to feel blessed with what you need and to know real peace within and to give Love..now these are priceless things!

Just wow could only imagine opening doors to a house like that everyday only one can dream

honestly it has an Ozark (the show) feel. like this house was literally just used to launder money. was never meant to be completed.

Hmmm, so this must be an extremely old video or its recent..... just an added insight to this structure......I was working in that house as a contractor some many years ago. Thats up in Allentown Pa. One guy lived their to oversee the property. Unfortunately, I was told that this was the home of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. And was abandoned because of their divorce. They built it so they could travel back and forth to NY for movie gigs. But, I have no idea if that was true or not. Just what I was told. Though Taylor Swift might be a bit younger before she made her millions. Unknown about here parents though.. Unfortunately I'm unaware of whats true or not true. When I was there the entire house was being renovated by a man who I felt was a bit shady but it was starting to look livable. Now this was probably 9+ years ago. Timing is a bit fussy at this point. I was at the very top of the peak of the mansion. The view was stunning... It was built with a metal frame structure in mind. It sits on a hill in the middle of a community of 3-5M Properties. Its Like whos got the biggest dick structure. I have pictures from the top of structure looking down and on the inside. I think i have pictures of the chandelier and the stairs. Its absolutely beautiful home. I was also told it was 10m structure at the time it was being constructed but later abandoned and homeless people were living in it for years. Again thats what was told to me. Anyway, its stunning and beautiful to say the least. I haven't been there in a long time so I don't know whats going on now. Thanks for the video though.

Crazy that you can really use cell phones now days for recording in 4k and has all the tools necessary. Awesome video

I love when you put a Bible verse at the very beginning of the video. Awesome video Thank you for sharing 👍🏼

I live 10 minutes away from this house. It was not Taylor Swift’s. The home was built in 1999 and was never lived in.

I doubt this is Taylor swift's house. What proof or how did you get your information ?

Good Morning 🤠 Big Banks , Please Let Me Know , When You Get 🤔 The Rest Of That Viewing I Would Lv To See The Ending of That Story ! ( Another Note Do You Cover Mansions In Nashville, Tn . Because There Many Here In This City . Please Reply ! )

Thank you for the video. Not ever a TS fan and seeing this video was made 6 mos.ago I googled TS. I didn't know she came from a rich family , her maternal grandmother was a famous singer , and her mother has been battling cancer for a few years. I'm sure there a lot of controversy over this home as to who built it and for whom , and why it sits empty to this day. It's a shame what has happened there like so many other empty places going to waste . The last recession 2008 left so many homes empty because people were without jobs and homes. We're now into the third year of the planned- demic.Its scary where this will go. God bless stay safe.

I have seen videos about this. Someone who grew up near this house said it DOES NOT belong to Taylor or her family. Something about the developer ran out of money or something. It's been some time since I have seen the video.

What a wonderful place ❤ So Sad about it being abandoned 😢 At least you got to see the outside and some views through the windows 😎Super cool explore.

I wish I could see the inside of the whole entire house, that would be so cool. Where is this beautiful mansion located at? I would like to know. 🙂

I wouldn't want a home that big, even if I had the money to buy one.

I can't get over the garbage laying around. That should be a code violation. What an absolute waste. Even though it's a huge mansion, I bet it brings down the property value

The house looks like the mansion in the "Marry me Juliet," song. 🤔

I feel the same thing every time I see one of these. It is fascinating but also upsetting to think of all the waste….

Glad to see mansion of Taylor s ..hope you can go inside..to see the real.. beauty of mansion...good job!!

Whoever the hell owns it should be sent the bill for demolishing it! It's disgraceful to build something this big only to not finish it and then just let it rot. Also, how the heck could this expensive structure be 'falling apart' after such a short period? The contractor must be doing some damn shady work!

How do you know it's Taylor's house though? Not gonna lie, I feel like a lot of these videos I see are click bait, however, they are really beautiful places.

Amazing how this young woman wrote and recorded these songs that made her huge coin .. very blessed .. hope she knows that .

I’m a stage 4 cancer victim. USAF veteran now living in a 5th wheel because I can no longer afford a home and can not get SSI. this makes me sick every time I see one of these abandoned homes.

Beautiful mansion, but does anyone really need a house that big???

So we had a mansion in our area that was never finished for over 10 years. What happened was an accident and they where forced to shut down all construction until the lawsuit was done. Unfortunately things happen and there isn’t anything that can be done. Luckily the place near me was finally finished and sold.

Roughly 582,000 people facing homelessness, and 16 million homes sit vacant because the banks need to get their cut and towns need their taxes. That is sickening😢

God-bless you hope you have a blessed day last week

That house is just creepy.

I can't even imagine what it would be like to have so much money that you could afford to just walk away from that and it not even affect your bank account. Unreal. What a shame.

Beautiful! A real shame. Great job BB!

What kind of camera and mic do you use. Very nice!

Someone must be living in there because there’s a small barbeque right by the front door and it’s not old and it’s not dusty.

I'd love to hear what Holmes on Homes would say-(a Canadian show/series where a Master Fix-all Builder/Contractor refinishes botched Contractor jobs gone wrong).

Giving me last on on earth vibes with that suitcase inside

Beautiful home SmH but looks like it has a very cold feeling inside.

A 25 year olds home who just don't give a shit, talk about ignorant people with money, I'm just jealous

it looks like dracula built it, blindfolded while drunk.

I’d love to hear the full Story and reason why this happened. People Form too Many opinions with very little information.

I’m sorry you couldn’t get in that massive mansion. Looked like a beauty from what you showed us thru the windows. I can’t imagine Taylor Swift building this home for her parents. First of all it’s too big for only 2 people but I’m sure they would have had servants and maids and butlers. Seems like she is over compensating for something. And why was it never finished? Her parents probably didn’t want to live there. Want a waste of money. When you are rich you can afford to throw money around. Well BigBankz it always a pleasure watching your videos. Stay safe out there.

Sad to see this unused magnificent house abandonned... 😢

She could have finished it up and sold it or donated it as a children’s home or something

Scary looking house with a cold vibe

THANK YOU

So tempting to clean it up. Power washing and grass cutting. God bless you for sharing this 🙏

Such an awesome explore. Thank you for creating these videos! (: Much love!

Wow! It's so beautiful. Why did they abandon to there?

That was so cool 😎 and I have to say that you would have had a hard time trying to get me away from every window of that monstrosity of a home I could walk through that place for many years and still not make it to every room in the place so that sounds like a small town to me so I'd sooner stay right here in this little bitty tiny house 🏠 and call it good 🤨🤔

This is what we call a tacky McMansion. Change the title to “Never Completed and Abandoned New Mansion with No Architectural Significance.”

If the title isn’t accurate the right thing to do would have been to immediately change it…🤔

Really interested Big Bankz

Taylor Swift had nothing to do with this house. Period.

I can only dream of this home. A miracle would have to happen for me to live in such a fabulous MansionHome.🌹❤️🙋🏽‍♀️

It's just so sad that people build something like that and can walk away like it's nothing. Never even live in it.

It would be interesting to find out why it wasn't finished and why they did not move in

Sickening to let this beautiful mansion rot!
