Five floors, garage space for 20 cars, a shooting range, swimming pool, sweeping views of the Ozarks - what's not to love?

I can't tell you the countless hours I've lost doomscrolling through Zillow looking at luxurious properties I couldn't afford to view let alone buy.

But I know for a fact I'm not the only one, I mean who doesn't want a glimpse at the good life, even if it means staring at a screen...that's what Selling Sunset is really, isn't it?

They show off some of the most elite properties on the market in the illustrious Hollywood, Los Angeles, and of course there's a bit of drama in-between the real estate we see but it is a huge hit because of us nosey bunch.

Anyway, a YouTuber, BigBanksz, has shown off one incredible estate located in Branson West, Missouri. With sweeping views of Table Rock Lake, Evergreen Crystal Palace was built back in 1991 by Robert W. Plaster - a philanthropist and millionaire who made his fortune through founding Empire Gas.

Tragically, in 2008 Plaster died and wrote that he wanted the 25,000-square-foot mansion to be sold off with the money going towards college funds for students - and 13 years later the Robert W. Plaster Foundation placed it on the market for $80 million.

But years have since passed and there's still no buyer, so the asking price has been slashed to $49 million.

The marble and glass property sits 200 feet above the artificial lake in the Ozarks of southwestern Missouri, while it also boasts of 365 acres of land surrounding it.

Inside the now abandoned glass mansion looks as if it has been 'frozen in time' with everything left behind - including two built-in time capsules, the first to be opened on September 3, 2042, while the second is earmarked for September 3, 2092.

Those dates will mark 51 and 101 years respectfully since Evergreen Crystal Palace was built.

You could argue there are actually three time capsules, with the property itself looking as if it were teleported from the 1990s to the present day.

While it is spotless inside (there's no dust, cobwebs or whatnot) it has remained relatively untouched, with towels even still dotted around the property bearing the Evergreen logo.

Selling the property for Evergreen Investments, real estate agent Ken Coleman previously said: "It’s really strange to go in the house today because it looks like it’s just a frozen time capsule."

The property has 12 guest suites, two master bedrooms and four offices over five floors, while also offering garage space for more than 20 cars and a helicopter landing pad.

And for those gun enthusiasts... a shooting range too.

I suppose it's back to daydreaming for the rest of us.
