This 1938 English-manor-style home was in poor condition when technology tycoon Scott Jones bought it in the mid-1990s. But he knew the 50-acre property in Carmel, Ind., had potential. So he tripled its size to 27,000-square-feet, outfitted it in turn-of-the-century English country décor and wired it to create the ultimate high-tech haven.

Jones is able to able to control lighting, air conditioning and music with the touch of a button. Fingerprint recognition is used throughout the home to control access to certain rooms such as the wine cellar. Even the wine cellar is a technological marvel. A computer keeps track of which wines Jones likes and dislikes and re-orders his favorites so he’s never out of stock. Another unique feature of the home is the 28-foot mahogany slide Jones commissioned, which makes going downstairs fun.
