"Man Who Won HGTV Dream Home Says It's Too Costly To Live In It"
"Donald P. Cook, who won HGTV's 5,700-square-foot Dream Home on April 29, plans to sell the house because of the high taxes and maintenance costs."
"[The owner] said the electricity bill is more than 10 times what he now pays."
"The home overlooks Lake Lure in Rutherford County [North Carolina] and has been assessed at slightly more than $3 million with an annual tax bill of $19,396.64."
The tax bill alone is more than my total housing expenses including utilities and maintenance!
