Every time this post rolls
around in rotation we are always asking whether or not the Amway River House is
still for sale, we run into the same issue. The last realtor link we had is no
longer active. Did the house sale? Did the Puryears change realtors again?
Did they take that elephant off the market?
After many years there’s been
no movement on the mansion the Puryears built from their income scamming poor
little ambots into buying overpriced Amway shit and useless books and tapes and
CDs and other products that make up the Amway tool scam.
The original price was $20 million back when this blog first started. In case some angry Amway losers show up here to demand how we came up with the $20 million price tag, that listing is LONG gone. So for any fucking Ambots who show up here screeching there’s no proof that the house of their beloved cult leaders was in the $20 mil range when it first hit the market check out this old article from about 10 years ago and bitch at that website if you don’t believe what you read. https://www.priceypads.com/disneyland-in-idaho-19995000/

That’s the thing with these
fucking Amway Ambots who say we don’t know what we’re talking about when we
share our true life experiences about the Amway cult. I’ve been to Amway
functions, countless living room bored plan meetings, and many rallies and other
Amway events. The things I saw and heard in person aren’t credible to Amway
losers. That just goes to show what brainwashing does to a person. Real life
experiences do not count if its contradictory to the teachings of Amway cult
leaders.
Anyway back to the Puryear
river house. No buyers for $20 million so the Amway cult leaders dropped it
down I think by 2 million and then dropped the price again and it sat
priced at $15,995,000 for awhile.
In 2015 the price dropped to
$10,995,000. The last time we ran this post in 2017 the price was $8.995,000.
Every time the Puryears switch realtors the price drops.
Come on you Amway Ambots who
brag about paying for everything in cash. Just buy it and put your cult leaders
out of their misery!
Obviously it’s a huge beautiful house. You’d think ambots would be lining up to buy this place. I mean they’re always showing up here bragging about how much money they’re making in Amway. They should be able to afford it no problem – right? Unless they’re lying little bastards about how much money they’re really making in Amway – right? Yeah I must be right. I figure the mortgage has to be around 40-50,000/month, maybe less now that the price dropped. Ambots are always showing up here bragging they make way more money than that so that measly little payment should be no problem. Ambots claims Diamonds make gazillions of dollars a year and they pay for everything in cash so you wouldn’t think this house would be sitting on the market all these years when Amway ambots must be beating the shit out of each other for the privilege of buying this house. And if not ambots you’d think there’s got to be other millionaires out there who’d want to have a beautiful house like this that’s built for entertaining.
Location location people. You first need to find a qualified buyer and then find one who's interested in living on a mosquito infested river in Idaho.
Everytime we run this post we provide links to better properties in the same or lower price range in more desirable parts of the country as comparison. But we’re not going to do that this year! LOL! Got more fun links this time.

In 2019 the Puryears applied to
the city for rezoning the river house to become a bed and breakfast or a place
to hold events such as weddings.
Is everyone here thinking the
customers are mostly going to be Amway losers? LOL! What kind of events? Family
Reunion? Spring Leadership? Free Enterprise Days? Dream Night? Ambots who got
permission from their cult leaders to get married?
They also wanted to buy the
property next door and turn it into a parking lot. Like what the fuck? If
you’re operating a bed and breakfast and there’s about a dozen rooms in the
house, surely that river house can accommodate parking for a dozen cars. It’s
got a massive driveway. Or just pull your car up on the lawn.
Anyway the neighbors kicked up
a stink and the proposal to turn this elephant in to a “tourist attraction” was
turned down by the city.
The link to this article also
mentions the house’s starting price was $20 million back in 2010 for any Ambots
who show up here screeching we have no proof cause those losers love to argue
about everything cause in Amway the facts don’t matter. It also says the price last
year was $8,495,000 so another price drop since we last run this post.
Make sure you watch the video
in this article from the news station. You can see the house behind the
neighbor who’s being interviewed and it’s just a normal house. Not anything
like the rolling in dough masterpiece house the Puryear’s built. Also look at
the last sentence in the article where the realtor talks about how they’d only
hold “high quality” events here. LOL! That’s an Amway buzz word LOL! Like their
high prices reflect their “high quality” LOL! Fuck that shit! https://www.krem.com/article/life/city-of-post-falls-dashes-familys-hopes-to-turn-85m-home-into-bed-and-breakfast/293-134993fe-aa59-43e2-ab51-e591944f367e
And here’s another article
about the failed zoning proposal and it mentions that the house Amway built has
sat empty pretty much the last decade. https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2019/apr/09/amway-house-fails-bed-and-breakfast-rezoning-reque/
Interesting mention in this
article that says when people buy homes in that neighborhood they sign a
document saying the use will only be for a single family residence. If anyone
wants to change that the majority of neighbors have to agree. I guess old man
Puryear fucked up his heirs when he signed that one LOL! Or maybe just the
arrogance that all Amway assholes have that just because they’re in Amway that
means the rest of the world will jump and do whatever they demand. LOL! Yeah
right. The rest of the world just as soon tells everyone in Amway to fuck off
instead of doing whatever they’re ordered to do by some dumb fuck in Amway.
Now let’s get back to the
question we always ask when we run this piece on the Amway Puryear river house.
Has it sold?
We don’t know for sure.
There’s this link for Zillow,
but sometimes it says it’s a bad link. Try at your own risk! If you can’t bring
up Zillow put the address + Zillow into a search engine. 216 S Parkwood Pl,
Post Falls, ID 83854 https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/216-S-Parkwood-Pl-Post-Falls-ID-83854/113142079_zpid/
According to Zillow the house
was sold on June 30, 2020 and it was last listed at $7,900,000.
The listing was removed on June
15, 2020. Did the house sell? Are the Puryears changing realtors again and it’s
just not listed somewhere else online yet? Did they give up and pull the house
off the market?
And if it sold, what was the
selling price?
On Trulia, the home’s value is
listed as $3,270,823 and it also notes the house is no longer available. https://www.trulia.com/p/id/post-falls/216-s-parkwood-pl-post-falls-id-83854--1004890651
Is that the selling price? Or is that just the estimated price? Most people
buying a house that expensive would get it properly evaluated and would be
unwilling to pay more than an appraised value unless there were some other
factors going on like a bidding war which seems unlikely to be happening on a
house that’s been on the market for ten years.
Seeing as how the kingpin Amway
cult leader bit the dust and when you’re the name of the game business is going
to hit the shitter so the family must be getting worried about unloading this
monster since they couldn’t get the zoning changed for bed and breakfast and
events so maybe they dropped the price and took what they could get.
The whole Amway creepy factor
was keeping people away. That and for less money you can buy a similar house in
a more desirable part of the country.
Same thing with everything
Amway. You can spend less money and get a better quality product just about
everywhere else.
If anyone knows if the Amway
River House sold and for how much or if the Puryears just took it off the
market drop a link in the comments.
For the house to drop from an offering price of $20 million to a sale price of $7,900,000 shows that it was a real white elephant. Nobody wanted the place!
ReplyDeleteThe yearly real estate taxes in themselves would have been enormous. The physical upkeep of the place would have been unending. A full-time, live-in household staff would be required. Its location in some obscure part of Idaho was uninviting. And then you have the zoning regulations and the hostility of your neighbors, both of which prevent the place from being used commercially as a hotel or bed-and-breakfast.
Face facts -- the River House was built solely as a status symbol by the Puryears, and as a showcase to use for impressing down-line. But did the Puryears actually want to LIVE in the place? It seems not. Nor does anybody else.
Anonymous - I had to wonder about the household staff and maintenance crew. Is this free labor by brainwashed Amway Ambots for the "privilege" of access to the house or to be free live-in caretakers? Or are these local people who have no association with the Amway cult other than being paid for their household services.
DeleteI always wondered why Amway's owners didn't buy this house to help out their top cult leaders that sent a lot of business their way. That was one thing always preached about at Amway cult meetings "to help others". It doesn't look like DeVos or Vanandel wanted to help the Puryears and take this status symbol off their hands.
For something the size of the Puryear River House, you would need a gardener, a janitor and maintenance crew, a car mechanic, an electrician, a butler and a cook, several housemaids and scullery girls, a laundress, and a seamstress.
ReplyDeleteThen there would also have to be a secretary and administrative aide to handle calls, contacts, and mail. And you'd also need an older woman to serve as the concierge, to supervise the female servants.
Every one of these persons would have to be on salary and benefits.
In short, while the house may be beautiful and spacious, it would be a perpetual money-drain, as well as a continuous headache for the owners.
Anonymous - a house that size would need considerable staff though some of those positions wouldn't be full time. More like on call. Not too many people have a car mechanic living on premises or one that makes house calls! Your call breaks down you call a tow truck and its taken to the mechanic's garage.
DeleteHouse staff getting benefits? From those cheap asses in Amway? Unlikely. Amway cult leaders are not known for treating other people fairly and compassionately. Amway cult leaders are mean sons of bitches. These are people who are out to steal your money and destroy your marriage and alienate you from your friends and family. I don't see fair wages and benefits coming from any Amway motherfucker that hires staff.
Yes that house would be money drain. The city taxes on it are huge. As are the electric bill and water bill. Cable, phone and Internet don't really fluctuate a lot but they probably have the highest packages those service cost hooked up in that house. General maintenance as things break down and have to be replaced. Can you see a Puryear climbing up a ladder to replace burnt out lights on the chandelier? I still think a lot of the labor around that place is provided free or cheap by brainwashed Ambots for the privilege of being in the river house.
Actually, when I made that comment on the Puryear house I was thinking about the elaborate manor houses in the shires of England where the landed gentry live. They are big and spacious, and do require a full-time, live-in staff.
ReplyDeleteIn England the car mechanic role would likely be filled by the chauffeur, who would take care of the car in addition to driving you around in it. But in America even very rich people generally prefer to drive their own cars, so maybe the Puryears skipped the car mechanic and the chauffeur. But it's a sure bet that Georgia wasn't doing her own sewing and laundry, and Ron wasn't skimming the pool with a leaf-catcher.
You are right about the benefits. The entire Amway mentality is to hate and despise the idea of giving employees anything other than their salaries. So the Puryears probably didn't shell out anything other than the bare weekly pay to their help. And yes -- if the servants were not living in, then a great deal of maintenance and housework would have to have been done by the owners themselves, on a daily basis. That would have been exhausting!
I have to disagree with you about one thing, Anna. Yes, it's true that many Amway big pins take advantage of free labor from IBOs in their down-line, and the stupid IBOs actually think that it is a "privilege" to serve their up-line masters in this way. But in the obscure little corner of Idaho where the Puryear house is situated, there couldn't possibly be that many locally available Amway IBOs. And you couldn't call up down-line from out of state and ask them to come over and tile your bathroom floor, or clean out your rain gutters. Not even the Puryears would be that classless and pushy.
Hi Anonymous. Yes I guess I can see how different cultures have household staff to handle various chores. Now that you mentioned it I can see how a combo chauffeur/mechanic makes sense. A guy that drives them around and can fix the cars. As you also pointed out in this part of the world people prefer to drive their own cars instead of hiring drivers. Judging by the fleet of cars we saw whenever the Puryears showed one of their home movies I'd think they'd rather drive them. I mean who buys a Lamborghini and then hires a driver to chauffeur them around town in it?!
DeleteWhether or not there are enough Ambots in that little corner of Idaho to get the work done, I think Ambots would ship in for the privilege. At their own expense. There's a scene in Merchants of Deception where the Emerald is summoned to his Diamond's house. I don't recall the distance traveled but I'm pretty sure it was in another state. Not so important. When he arrived the Diamond gives him a rag and a can of spot remover and tells him to get busy removing the oil stains on the driveway. Doesn't even invite him in for refreshments, relax or use the washroom. No niceties how was your drive. Its get to work cleaning my driveway. I think devoted Ambots would ship in for the privilege of cleaning the driveway, skimming the leaves off pool, scrubbing toilets, cleaning gutters and so on. At their own expense of course to get there! However since Rotten Ronnie kicked the bucket and they can't bask in his presence and glean little nuggets of information from him anymore it might be tougher getting free labor. If a Diamond can be tasteless and classless to call in an out of town Emerald to clean the oil off his driveway for free - though the Emerald did not realize ahead of time that was the very important reason he'd been summoned - I think it would be no problem for the Puryears to send out a memo looking for worker bees. Wow what a privilege! I get to scrub the toilet where Puryear took a shit LOL!
Anna, that story is absolutely the utter last straw. If the Emerald actually did that for the Diamond, then the Emerald is a just a contemptible piece of shit who doesn't deserve to live in a free country.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous - well that Emerald obviously quit Amway and then he wrote about the experiences as a person who was fairly high up in the rankings and getting a taste of how the Amway tool scam works. He's been a great resource for many.
DeleteHouse was sold in June 2020. Idaho property taxes do not reflect actual home values as there are various exemptions factored in. Do not know who the new owners are however. This region of the Inland Northwest has been in extremely high demand since April 2020. Too bad they didn't wait to sell until last year as they would have easily gotten their 20 million.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous - thanks for confirming our suspicious that the house was sold. Who knows if they'd held on to it long enough if they'd got their $20 million. Whether or not the area is in high demand the Puryears built that monster house as a status symbol of being big shots in the Cult of Greed for entertaining and bragging rights. They signed papers stating they agree it's a single family dwelling and that's a huge house for just one family to live in. There are lower priced mansions in more desirable parts of the country that may not be subject to the same single family/no business ventures zoning as this one.
