An inventor is planning to build an outrageous $200million house, inspired by his late daughter, which will have 26 rooms, four kitchens for different cuisines,  a four-storey wine cellar, tunnel driveway, rooftop pool and helicopter pad.

Mataki Lim has approval to build his dream 40,000sq m mansion, which will also have a cinema, nightclub, ballroom, music studio and vast collections rooms in the West Australian town of Chittering, around 60km east of Perth.

Mr Lim said the house will showcase his company’s NXT TEC’s precast building technology, a rapid construction method he invented after moving to Australia from Malaysia at the age of 14.

The new house, approved for the 475ha-site by Chittering Shire last week, will be called Madalyn Manor in tribute to Mr Lim’s late daughter who he says worked with him on the designs for the ‘shared dream between the two of us’.

If realised, it’s believed the residence would be one of the world’s largest private houses.

NXT TEC describes Mr Lim as ‘a self-made multi-millionaire whose impressive career as a property developer, registered builder and in structural and mechanical engineering spans over 30 years’.

After graduating with a degree in architecture from the University of Western Australia, Mr Lim became a registered builder and ran a successful construction company until he retired from the business in 2006.

Mr Lim said on Friday he needs to still secure a building permit and plans to begin the three-year building project at the end of 2024.

The four kitchens will be specialised to cook French, Swedish, Japanese and Italian cuisine respectively.

As well as the grand ballroom and dining room, there will be 10 collection rooms to display Mr Lim’s assembled antiques and paintings.

The 475ha-site will have native gardens, 6,000 planted trees and three lakes around a 10km boundary

There will also be a car museum along with indoor beach volleyball, basketball, and squash courts, as well as a bowling alley and an arcade with laser tag.

The rooftop pool will overlook three lakes in the surrounding landscape where the native botanical gardens will have 6,000 trees planted around a 10km boundary.

At an estimated cost of $200m the home would easily eclipse the $57.5m Mineral Resources boss Chris Ellison and partner Tia paid for their Mosman Park mansion in 2009 to become WA’s most expensive property.

NXT TEC has so far only built a small single-storey home in WA.

Despite gaining approval seven years ago to build a 120-room Wyndham Lux Hotel in the eastern Perth suburb of Rivervale, construction has yet to commence.
