I think it is perfectly OK to anchor even off a rich person's house.
The boater shouldn't trespass, but if someone builds a house on the
water possibly with a dock and all, then they should expect that other
people's boats come with the water.
People can park in front of someone's house on the public street.
Just because someone owns the house doesn't mean that they own the
parking place in front of it. Now there are regulations in some
neighborhoods (called covenants) about who can park what and where,
but that doesn't extend to the navigable waterways.
Cruising boats often look like junk heaps to the uninitiated.
