$63 Million Mansion Is S’pore’s Version Of The ‘Parasite’ House, With Secret Panels & Stone Relics

Parasite Mansion Lookalike Has Artefacts In Its Walls, Basement Museum & 2-Storey Walk-In Wardrobe

This year, South Korean movie Parasite made history by being the first foreign-language film ever to win Best Picture at the Academy Awards.

Among the highlights of the Oscar-winning movie is the gorgeous but sinister mansion, which was custom-made for the movie.

Although it isn’t a real residence, we think we’ve found something that’s as close as it comes, right here in the heart of Singapore.

Here’s the iconic house from Parasite:

And here’s the real-life bungalow in Singapore:

Parasite mansion lookalike costs $63 million

The resemblance is uncanny, but what made our jaws really drop was the house’s interior and the priceless treasures it holds.

Not to mention its hidden rooms and spiral staircases.

Of course, it doesn’t come cheap, as the 34,000-square-foot (roughly 3,160 m²) bungalow costs a mind-boggling $63 million, shared Mr Jervis Ng from JNA Real Estate in a YouTube video.

34,000 sq ft is about the size of 100 basketball courts.

Take a tour through the fantastical house with us, as we uncover its highlights and spectacular design.

Exterior walls embedded with artifacts

As Mr Ng begins the tour of the fortress outside, he first introduces you to the well-manicured, green lawn that looks as if it sprung out of the Bong Joon Ho masterpiece.

Then comes the pool. The cool blue 20m lap pool is well-guarded by a pair of Chinese lion statues from the Tang Dynasty. They’re also the largest lion statues in Asia.

Even the exterior walls hold treasures — literally. They were specially built to model the marble balustrades in the Tang Dynasty City, and house thousands of artifacts.

If you look closely, you can see them featured on all 4 outer walls of the house.

As the house belongs to an artifact collector, there are many more ancient artifacts and collectors’ items displayed around the house, and incorporated into its design.

Secret panels & doors in living room

Upon first glance, the living area looks like one in any typical luxury home: sprawling, luxurious, with a grand piano in the corner.

But upon a closer look at the mahogany walls, one will be surprised to find that they slide open to reveal not just a television, but a concealed doorway to the kitchen, and dining area.

The owner even had a room designed specifically for serving tea, with a full-marble feature wall, twisted tree trunk tables and some of the world’s rarest brews all under the same skylight.

The owner even had a vintage spiral staircase from Bencoolen Street installed in his home, just for that extra bit of historical flair.

Home museum in basement

If you think that’s impressive, our jaws literally hit the floor when we saw what the basement held.

Instead of a deranged old man running from debt (like in the movie), it houses the owner’s collection of ancient relics and artifacts.

The collection seems to sprawl on forever — it’s basically a personal museum, right in the belly of the house.

That’s not all, there’s another tea room with more artifacts displayed, including tiles from the Tang Dynasty palace, and another wall made entirely of Pu Er tea bricks.

If tea’s not your thing, perhaps the walk-in, futuristic wine cellar is more up your alley.

Parking garage with space for 12 cars

The basement is used for practical reasons too, of course. There’s an 8,000 square foot parking garage, with enough space for up to 12 super cars.

It even has its own car lift for easy access from porch to basement.

Master bedroom has 2-storey walk-in wardrobe & secret room

The master bedroom isn’t just a bedroom, of course. It’s a rest area, a study, and a spa rolled into one.

The rest area apparently also has a secret walk-in wardrobe behind its curved walls, but it seems like it’s only for the owners’ eyes.

You’re not missing out on much though, as the 2-storey walk-in wardrobe makes up for that.

Featuring another spiral staircase, it’s a perfect balance of “His” and “Hers”, with a well-lit vanity and watch case to boot.

Right through the glass door is the bathroom, or mini-spa, with a jacuzzi big enough for 2.

Our motivation to work hard & get rich

The “Singaporean Dream” is typically known as the “5 Cs”, but after seeing this beast of a mansion, we’d like to dub it the 3Bs: Big Beautiful Bungalow.

Of course, money doesn’t come easily, and we sincerely applaud whoever owns this house for their hustle to bring this masterpiece to life. It’s definitely a huge motivation to work hard and get rich.

Here’s to more multi-million dollar mansions and hopefully, merry moneymaking.

How did these ginna agents manage to convince owner of a 63m to let them sell his house?

A bit unprofessional I feel... these kids are like visitors in disneyland, and their description like 'epic', 'legendary', are like words that i hear from my kids' tik tok or insta.. ah maybe i is old school lao uncle cannot accept this kind of style, can't afford in 10 lifetimes anyway..

those that can afford maybe can relate better to this video..

[Matoonia]

personally i prefer this video (style) and find it more befitting of a luxurious property

I was thinking after exposing the interior, would I still want to buy it if I HAD that amount of money.

Just a reminder...

From their CEA numbers, they are actually quite new agents especially the last agent

I don't have much issue with the words they use as long they speak clearly with good English. The only "flaw" i saw was at 6.26 mark when the agent said " I hope you are not bored with the museum...". I can only imagine how the owner feels especially the museum is his effort and pride.

actually for a property like this, I would prefer a cinematic video, a soothing music background and few brief descriptions  to showcase the house.  Will use angles and special effects to bring out the best of this house. An agent to narrate is ok for normal properties, but for this one, I would prefer to appreciate the beauty and the class rather than having the agent there.

63mil including all the antiques, ivory sculpture, furniture, tea leaves, watches, clothes or 34000 sqft of empty spaces and shelves ?

[Ody_2004]

some where in the video I heard 100 million to build? so now 40% discount? 🤣

@kobayashiGT I will take this one anytime if I have the dough.

Don’t let this $4.5M mansion gem deceive you—all the fun is underneath it

A unique offering of a magnificent, gated estate on four acres featuring 7 bedrooms/8 baths in the Main house, a two bedroom/1 bath guest house with full kitchen, and a pool house with full kitchen and bath. Also on the property is a lighted, newly resurfaced tennis court and heated pool. The four acres is already divided into two separate parcels. A driveway can be added to access the guest house for a private entrance.

But apparently, all the fun is in the basement. The 12,089 sq ft property in the Potomac suburb of Washington, DC has a life-sized retro village built in underneath. Cobblestone streets, 15 authentic store facades, real working parked cars ready to take you on the ride of a lifetime… and for those who love a cinema date now and then, a double feature of Mary Poppins and the Exorcist is on the menu. You get the vibes.

If you are like me, worried about your car(s) sitting in the carpark at night, confused and alone in the dark. They long to feel pavement beneath their tires. But if you’re rich enough to be losing sleep over your cars in storage facing long-term road withdrawal, you are probably rich enough to build them an entire charming village street just to assuage that guilt, especially if all are classic cars...

That’s what I’m guessing happened at this aggressively bland behemoth of a home with this weird copy of a cobblestone town street in the basement, complete with real working classic cars. It boggles my mind a bit, the amount of work that went into this glorified parking garage. But these aren’t just any cars. There’s a Citroën 2CV Charleston Edition, a Jaguar XKE Series II or III and an MG TD plus some kind of bike with a really creepy dummy riding it.

I can only wish for houses like this.

Yes, but not the Q&A session.

Right from the start, I am not sure if she is trying to give me education about jumbo flat or is she trying to sell the house....

I think the interior is an acquired taste.

If I have the money, I will just buy land and get the architect to design a house from scratch. We don't have to pay a premium for an ugly building if we don't want to. The land and location is what we should be paying for.
