All we want for Christmas is this stunning house in New York state, rented by Mariah Carey as her isolation pad.

It glitters with a violin-shaped pool perfect for a songstress and her entourage, plus a high-tech security system to ensure absolute privacy.

Carey left her Manhattan penthouse in March to wait out the COVID-19 pandemic in a country estate in Westchester County, outside New York City, Variety reports.

She brought her two children and small team of staff to the luxury rental, secured for an unknown sum. It’s owned by former Wall Street executive Jay Dweck, who bought it for $US4.8 million in 2012.

Set in a gated community, the colonial-style mansion features six bedrooms, seven full bathrooms and four half-bathrooms and is set on two hectares.

The elegant staircase is a sweet fantasy, while the gourmet kitchen sits next to a breakfast room that leads into the backyard.

There’s plenty of amenities to keep occupied in quarantine, with a games room/media lounge with fish tank, gym and home theatre with bar.

But the hero of the house is the pool shaped like a Stradivarius violin, with a spa for a chin rest and fibre-optic strands that light up to represent the instrument’s strings. It reportedly took 15 months to finish and cost $US1 million.

I can’t live, if living is without this house.
