Can't imagine someone buying a house as beautiful as that tearing it down and wasting 3 years not being able to enjoy it while the new one was being built.
They probably rented one down the road while they were waiting.
We do a lot of work on Lake George, not much different. Buy a house for a million plus, tear it down and put up what you want.

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?
