The World's Most Expensive Home Will Have 10 Bedrooms & Your Own Private Ski Slope
Monday January 29, 2007
Think Toronto house prices are outrageous? You've obviously never tried to buy one near Bozeman, Montana.
O.K., so the wilderness isn't exactly your idea of a home on - or off - the range. But it will soon be the location of the world's most expensive house.
Real estate mogul Tim Blixseth currently owns the Yellowstone Club, one of the world's biggest members-only residential ski and golf resorts near the Montana city.
He hasn't even laid a brick or a foundation yet, but has already announced plans to put up a home on club property for those who like to live in the lap of luxury. His price for this expensive expanse: an unbelievable $155 million.
If he gets it - and it's bound to go for at least that much - it will officially become the most expensive home ever sold.
Blixeth tells Forbes Magazine this deluxe wood and stone domicile will be 53,000 square feet, take up 160 acres, boast 10 bedrooms, and will allow those living inside it to have their own private chairlift to Yellowstone's oh-so-exclusive ski slopes. It will also have its own built-in movie theatre and a swimming pool that starts indoors and winds up outdoors, when a glass panel slides away to separate nature from the closed off interior.
The fully furnished villa will also come with a completely stocked wine cellar and a driveway that measures just over 2 kilometres long.
Will anyone actually be rich enough to pay the price for this place?
Apparently someone will.
Blixeth admits he's already received a huge response about the property from the well heeled. And the mogul, who grew up poor but made his fortune in the lumber business, admits even he's been taken aback by the interest in the less than humble abode.
"Some of (the world's richest) just have to have the best. Price is not an issue," he told Forbes.com.
It could take another 14 or 15 months before the super exclusive place in the super exclusive club is ready to be listed.
So the next time you go house hunting in Toronto and the price seems a little high, consider relocating to Montana - where the Big Sky is clearly not the limit.
The asking price for this majestic mansion tops the previous record. That was set by a place called Updown Court in Windelsham, England. That location could be had for a paltry $139 million. But good luck paying down the mortgage.
