This may not come as a surprise but one of the most expensive homes is found in Los Angeles — the Bel Air neighborhood to be specific.
The property known as the remarkable Casa Encantada is a 40,000-square-foot megamansion located in Los Angeles featuring 7 bedrooms and 20 bathrooms, a 60-foot pool, rose gardens, a vegetable garden, a tropical botanical garden, a tennis court — with a viewing pavilion overlooking the (of course), and a sports court as noted by Zillow. Originally constructed in 1937 by architect James E. Dolena, it was later exquisitely restored by Peter Marino, embracing an Art Deco Hollywood aesthetic.
Now, let’s get to what you really came here for — how much is this mansion?! Believe it or not, the house is up for grabs with a price tag that is 60 times more than what the average American will spend in their lifetime. (According to Nasdaq, the average American will spend 3.3 million over their life.) But we digress — the million-dollar home was put on the market in 2023 for $250 million, but is currently on the market for an asking price of $195 Million.
No wonder it’s being marketed as the most expensive home. Yet this actually isn’t the first time this megamansion has broken records or made history. According to the Wall Street Journal, Casa Encantada has twice set records as the most expensive private home ever sold in the United States. For those with a few million dollars to spare, you can explore more about this extraordinary estate on its official Zillow listing here.
