Mansion Layout
Upon entering you meet your guide. This lovely person will be your guide through the main parts of the mansion and it's outlying land. Pay attention now, he/she hates when they are not listened to and may quiz you! Here is a description of what they will show you:
Walking through the front door, one is welcomed by the sight of a large 20' wide and 37' high fountain. The skylights make the water sparkle like a stream coming out of Eden on the brightest day. It is a replica of the Gates of Purgatory under a silvered archway on clear glass, highlighted in grays and reds. Black slate holds the pool of clear water. Ivory angels reach for the children or demons on the glass wall, one from each side and one from the pool of water directly in front. This image is replicated on the other side.
To either side of the fountain, wide stairs can be seen curving up to the second floor, covered in red, painted with white and two pairs of lions guard them from the floor to the mahogany banister. Beside the right staircase there is also an elevator, golden and crystal clear glass beckon to those who are weary for a ride up or down.
To the right is a closet for dirty out door clothes or work clothes.
To the left is another closet for more gentlemanly or lady-like outdoor wear.
Past the closet to the right is a Male den. Decorated in all things and colors as the male bear would love, cherry wood floors and walls. The furniture is black, mahogany and gray suedes. A 73" HDTV rests on the wall, viewable from every point in the room and all gaming systems are available for play. Wide French doors lead out onto the large, covered porch. A small bar graces the far corner of this room, boasting of exotic liquors and a small refrigerator of beer, water and ice.
Past the den is a Dining Room, the main one. Four fireplaces grace it's walls, the outside is seen through wall length windows and a pair of French doors. The mahogany table is able to seat up to 100 people. One lone painting of a fox hunt rests above the largest fireplace in the middle of the room; beautiful greens, golds and reds add a flourish to horse, man and canine.
Adjoining the dining room is a kitchen. Built like a kitchen in a five star hotel, it's stainless steel gleams in the light. There are enough stoves to bake something for an army within an hour, cabinets are neat and tidy and a polished mahogany to match the table in the dining room. A stereo graces the corner, where there is often opera pouring out of it's surround sound speakers for the cook's pleasure. In a corner with a bay window is a small table that seats four, for those more intimate moments or for those moments where the culinary staff need breaks.
Back out into the hallway from the swinging kitchen door and to the right yet again is a living room. Here, one may consider this room a miniature amphitheatre. Four 73" hi-def televisions shine on the wall in between slim, shaded windows. One large, rounded couch hulks in the middle of the room, facing these televisions and fitted with recliners, drink holders and massage chairs. One wall consists of a floor to ceiling shelf of movies, documentaries, seasons of television shows, etc. This shelf is fitted with a rolling ladder for ease of access. A large hearth comes out for cozy evenings from the largest fireplace in the house, decorated in oversized pillows, floor chairs and warm soft rugs. There is a small bar gracing this room as well, every drink imaginable present as well as every finger snack anyone could think of. Another wall is a fish tank, looking out into the hallway where the stairs and fountain are visible like a watery fantasy. Tropical fish flourish their bright colors in the midst of their treasure trove home.
Again out into the hallway and to the right, we come upon the library. Here rare and exotic books are easy to find in the floor to ceiling shelves covering every wall, every space available. There is a study, sectioned off to the left, filled with six large tables, cushy chairs and a stack of loose leaf paper and a jar of pens. The library and study is lit softly, but with the reader's eyes in mind. Slim windows grace the walls to the outdoors through every third shelf, adding natural light, and fitted with window seats.
Next is the female's den or drawing room. Lighted by the natural light from the many windows and from the chandeliers above for those not able to take the light of the sun. There are two roll back writing desks in this room, as well as plush couches and chairs for sitting and talking. A white fireplace is graced with a painting of the mansion itself. Another 73" television is fitted with every gaming option, as well as a computer nearby for high tech enjoyment. A small tea room is set to the side, with a bar as well. Every luxury a woman could want while hiding away from her mate.
Now the hallway curves back, passing the ladies' den and stopping at two large glass doors. Upon opening these doors we stumble upon a pool room. Olympic sized pool filled with heated water gently laps at our senses. Past the pool are two Jacuzzis for relaxed pleasure. Past these is a set of locker rooms, one for males and one for females if you should prefer. Then past these locker rooms is a sauna, large and hot.

This is the completion of the first floor, we arrive back at the front door and look to the house. There are two sets of stairs going up to either side and behind the fountain. Under these are two sets of wrought iron stairs spiraling down.
~
Upstairs
After reaching the top there is a balcony where one can look over the foyer from above and get a good look at the top part of the fountain's Gates of Purgatory.
To the right we go again, here we come upon a set of double doors, dark brown in color. Upon walking in, we find a music room. Here sets a grand piano most would die for, a large gilded harp, stands for every string instrument with said instrument resting upon them. There is a glass case, the sliding doors unlocked, holding every brass instrument with the softest silken cloths. In the corner is a stage, set up with sound system, amps, drums, microphones, electric guitars, acoustic guitars, electric keyboards, and everything needed for a band life. In another part of the room are chairs and stands enough for a small orchestra to practice. Next is a stand of chimes, cymbals, bells and wooden percussion instruments arranged on a large low shelf. Next is a metal stand fitted with numerous woodwind instruments including flutes, recorders, oboes, etc. There are also a few conductor stands scattered about, as well as a computer for mixing and creating songs. There is a cabinet full of music sheets and books as well as learner's guides to every instrument available in the room. The room is climate controlled to best suit all instruments, as is each individual glass case or cabinet.
Adjoining this music room is a ball room. A wide wood floor shines with health and care covering the majority of the room. On the outskirts of this floor are tables with chairs for those in need of a break or just to watch. A stage graces the far end as well as a judging table and tools of the trade. Off to the side is a set of changing rooms and entrance hall onto the dance floor.
Further down the hall is a large number of bedrooms, designed differently and all with sitting rooms, their own bathrooms and way out onto the second floor balcony.
Across the hall from the ballroom is a Tapestry/Trophy room. Here relics of the ages grace the walls in carefully sustained glass environments. Unbreakable glass I might add, even if there was such a fire or rocks bombarding them, the glass cases would survive the next end of the world. Paintings also grace these walls, as well as honorable swords and weapons of mass value as they are far from being replicas.
Next to this room is a museum or collectors room. Here are all things taken and kept from every civilization the world has ever been graced with. All things from a samurai's armor to a certain King's jeweled crown to a chamber pot from a notorious pirate's chambers when he deemed land worthy enough to travel.
Again to the other side and down the wing is a set of elegant rooms, designed individually and set up like the ones on the other wing.

Now we shall go back to the foyer, and down the spiral wrought iron staircases to the deeps of the mansion.
~
Upon landing in the first basement, one can look up to the underbelly of the fountain, it is as if one is looking at their own hell.
Opening out to the right is a large gymnasium. A large basketball court gleaming with two goals, all set up and ready for play. To the left are two large doors, leading to the game room. Here there are four pool tables, fully functional even without coins. There is a room of arcade games, two foosball tables, two air hockey tables, two ping-pong tables, and a wall of skeet games. There are several large televisions with one gaming console each from Atari to X-box to Playstation to a Wii. There's also a few coffee pots and small kitchenette for those die-hard gamers who never want to see the light of day. Further back and in it's own room are a set of batting cages. Next to this is a shooting range with three large gun cases holding legal and illegal guns but all set to not destroy the whole mansion under careless hands. Here also is the work out room, fitted with several machines to keep one in the best of shape for the rest of their lives. There are locker rooms and showers for those that play too hard to be seen out in public without washing off first.
The whole basement is climate controlled, but still fitted with fireplaces incase the power should ever go out.
To the left and right of these rooms are bedrooms, again fitted with their own bathrooms and sitting areas.

Room of Requirement
This room is designed to appear where ever the need arrises. Within it, is whatever the heart desires for the person it appeared for.

Barns and Land
Back up to ground level we now go outside. The ocean roars to life to the back of the mansion. To the front there is a wide large yard. Two barns grace the area, holding horses of the finest breeds and standards as well as feed of every nature that an animal will need, and a tack/grooming room.
Fences close in cattle lazily grazing to the left of the mansion and past the barns, going as far as the eyes can see. Llamas, camels, alpacas, goats, reindeer, sheep, cows, and others are all here to take care of the humans with food and entertainment.
Greenhouse
Beside the mansion is every plant lover's dream. One huge greenhouse filled with every plant imaginable from deadly flowers, herbs and beautiful ferns. Here are mushrooms and other hard to grow plants from all over the world and all over fandom safely concealed from the could be harsh elements outside.
Amphitheatre
Also on the grounds is an amphitheatre to hold thousands for any kind of show.
Meeting Hall
Beside the amphitheatre is a meeting hall. Seats are carefully arranged around a podium in a large classroom-like setting. Here matters of state or learning can be discussed freely without interruption.
Garage
Cars, motorcycles, trucks, golf carts, tractors, four-wheelers and all manners of wheeled play are housed and cared for in the large garage. There is one of each (car, truck, four-wheeler, golf cart, motorcycle, plane, tractor) that belongs to the mansion itself and the keys for each are accessible in a key box found beside the door. Don't want your ride messed with, keep the keys!
Hangar
Here is a larger than life building filled with anything and everything needed for the uptake of larger than life metal contraption. Here Gundams can be found, a few small gliders and one plane to get them up in the air, and two helicopters. Never is their fuel enough to get far enough away from the island though.
Beach
Leading down the rocky cliffs to the ocean is a set of well hewed rock stairs. Halfway down is a rather large gazebo for entertainment or a nice place to read while watching the ocean.
Down by the ocean there is a stretch of white beach, a few lawn chairs and beach umbrellas. There is a stand for towels, swimwear, life jackets, rafts, floaties, rubber duckies, wetsuits and diving gear. There is also a locker room set back against the cliffs for changing, showering and the like.
There is also a pier, holding three boats. One large yacht, fitted with everything that a small expensive house is. One fishing boat fitted with all the equipment to fish whatever your heart desires and to go diving with. And there is one small raft for the pleasure of a couple or loner.
There is also a tiki bar down on the beach, filled with benches and bar stools and lighted for a party at any time of the day.

Now these floors are not the only floors in the mansion. There are up to 10 sub-basements/dungeons as well as up to 10 above ground floors. The mansion is always moving, changing, growing. One day there may be only 10 rooms on one floor and the next there could be an endless hall of 20 or more. Have fun exploring! But beware, you might get lost!
