Known as much for his innovative ventures as his personal life, the latest bombshell emerging about billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk — no, it’s not another baby onboard — is his brand new family compound in Texas. Expanding his real estate footprint, Elon Musk has bought a secret compound in Austin, Texas. The family compound is a luxurious oasis that’s equal parts tech hub, eco-sanctuary and fortress of solitude.
It consists of three houses, all within walking distance from one another and costs a whopping USD 35 million. The multi-billionaire, who had lately been busy with the presidential campaign behind Donald Trump ’s historic win, is obsessed with declining birthrates. Not only has this given rise to an unconventional family situation but Musk seems to be in no hurry to slow it down.
Hence, the unusual family compound. According to the New York Times , the main residence is a sprawling villa spread across 14,400 square feet and it is made taking inspiration from Tuscan villas. Accompanying the villa is a six-bedroom mansion directly behind it.
When he is in Austin, the world’s richest man prefers staying at this third mansion which is located just about a 10-minute walk away. That said, who else is actually living in this compound and why has Musk, the founder of companies like SpaceX and Tesla , spent a bomb in a residential space when he already has a lavish house in Boca Chica, Texas? We unravel all that and more as we delve into the details of Musk’s.
