One of the recent additions to metaverse happens to be a sprawling real estate property whose tangible version is present in the United Kingdom. According to a recent report, Hampton Hall is an 11-bedroom house in Oxshott, Surrey which is going to be the first NFT (non-fungible token) of its kind on the metaverse.
Hampton Hall
Hampton Hall is a crypto-millionaire’s dream home: a palatial new-build manor with all the toys from bowling alley to spa. And if these real-life charms weren’t enough, there’s the added bonus of the mansion’s virtual replica in the metaverse.
Explaining its architecture, Stately Homes mentioned on its website that Hampton Hall will be spread over 29,116 square feet with Cotswold stone, flanked by Corinthian fluted columns and a 380 feet frontage.
The rooms in the house will be catering to dinner parties, guests, family, entertainment and also come with a swimming pool, a steam room, sauna, bowling lanes, bar, gym facilities, and treatment room.
The property will also feature a garage space for up to six cars, including a car elevator to the basement which will come with a car gallery, snooker room, and home cinema.
In what is believed to be a world first, the developer, Stately Homes, will for £29 million (or the equivalent in cryptocurrency) build you a one-off 11-bedroom home on a 1.3 acre plot in the gated Crown Estate in Oxshott, Surrey, and give you first refusal on a non-fungible token (NFT) containing the copyrighted blueprint and virtual version of your home.
They are yet to garner widespread use, but the deeds to a five-bedroom $653,000 house in Florida were sold via an NFT this week. A US company has been set to facilitate these digital-analogue transactions and, if successful, it is likely the service will spread globally.
The developer released a preview of Hampton Hall and it is magnificent. What a bliss to own an opulent manor that comes with all the comfort and automation, blending in the rich architecture of renaissance and smart technology of the 21st century. According to the developer the stately architecture is the latest of a new generation of “prodigy”
The owner of the Hampton Hall NFT would be able to download the data into the metaverse, a set of immersive spaces shared by users, where they can interact, innovate and engage with other people, who are not in the same physical space, using 3D avatars.
Real Estate in the virtual world is booming. It’s a goldrush really. Crypto Gold to be precise. While the rest of the world still awaits a half decent camera on their budget phone, you can bank, go shopping or maybe take a date in the Metaverse.
