Houses in The Colony really go for that much? I don't remember it being such a nice area..

Might be Frisco spill-over or something. I also remember The Colony being kinda sparsely populated, maybe someone built themselves a big mansion in the middle of nowhere and surrounded it with a moat.

I hope it was full of jello, or $20s, considering said "lack of nearby water".

You're missing the craziest piece of this. The 2 occupants escaped safely. $800k for 2 people?
Why?

Solid gold toilets aren't cheap, my friend.
Besides, maybe there were only two occupants at the time. That doesn't mean there are only two residents.
Or maybe it's a rich couple planning to start a big, rich family.
