If there was an actual prince living in Bel Air this might be the place he’d choose as his palace – the most expensive home for sale in the USA. The white-and-glass walled California mansion has come onto the market at an impressive $US250 million ($333 million).
The 12-bedroom, 21-bathroom luxury estate took four years to build, with 3530 square metres of floor space, three kitchens, an ‘auto gallery’ with $US30 million worth of luxury cars including a unique Pagani Huayra priced at $2 million alone, 100 art installations, a James Bond-themed home theatre, a bowling alley, a games room with a candy wall and – yes, we’re still going – massage studio, gym and 25-metre infinity pool.
And the largest TV found in a residential home, at around nine metres. And aligator-skin lined commercial elevators. And a helicopter from the television series ‘Airwolf’, although apparently it’s deactivated.
It’s from property developer Bruce Makowsky, who’s also behind the $US70 million, 2071-square-metre mansion picked up by Minecraft developer Markus Persson in in January 2015.
Makowsky, who has a fashion background, told CNBC that he “wanted to break all the moulds. The level of quality and attention to detail in this house is unsurpassed. And I wanted to create the greatest feeling that you can have being at home.”
“There is no way anyone could have a bad day in this house.”
The property is listed through several agents.
