The total cost of the parts is expected to be about $100,000. The total cost of building the house is expected to be several million dollars. Rehwald's family owns one of the largest Mercedes Benz dealerships in California. The house, when finished, will be on a 55 acre piece of land in the Malibu Hills. The house will overlook a nearby mountain, the valley as well as the Pacific Ocean.
