Western Railroad Discussion > Got 13 mil? Get your own funicular.

Suzanne Somers and Alan Hamel are selling their 28 acre Palm Springs home. Four cottages and it's own funicular. Honestly, it looks pretty amazing.

It does, the five houses and lagoon pool ain't chopped liver either.

Out 

It looks like the vegetation around it is pretty sparse, so you could probably actually buy fire insurance.

If you have to ask then you probably can't afford it.

I got news for you. Even if I didn't have to ask, I couldn't afford it....

Funiculars as part of private residences are not unusual in certain areas of Southern California. Some call them “hillavators.” There was some question years ago about who exactly safety-checks them…whether they are elevators or something else.
