I was considering moving there and thinking of Lake Quivira (but nothing remotely like that mansion) once, decades ago, when I thought I'd be able to buy there, but those plans fell through. It offered a location sort of central to relatives in various states, security, and some nice amenities to keep relatives who don't always get along happily scattered if that was a good idea (private lake, PGA golf course, tennis, bridle paths...and as the video says, 20 minutes from downtown KC).
