Kimsey had a nine-bedroom, 20-bathroom house measuring nearly 50,000 square feet of living space built on the first parcel he purchased . The home was designed to entertain both large and small crowds, with four different kitchens, one of which has direct access to a loading dock for deliveries. The wing for the master bedroom comes with a steam and dry sauna, jacuzzi, private kitchen, exercise and massage room.
