Photos: The most expensive home in America?

In the Tampa Bay area, a 60,000-square-foot mansion in Hillsboro
Beach has hit the market after seven years of construction.


"Le Palais Royal" was modeled after palaces in Europe, and it certainly has a royal price tag. With an asking price of $139-million, it may be the most expensive home on the market in the entire country.

The annual property tax bill alone -- estimated at $143,000 -- is more than the cost of many homes.

What does a cool $139-million buy these days? Here are some of the highlights, according to the official Coldwell Banker MLS listing:
  • 11 bedrooms
  • 17 bathrooms
  • The first-ever private IMAX theater
  • A 30-car underground garage
  • A grand staircase valued at $2-million
  • Six waterfalls
  • 4,500-square-foot infinity pool
  • Air-conditioned dog kennel
  • Putting green

The property straddles four acres on the southern end of the small island, meaning the home has both beachfront access and, as the listing suggests, space on the Intracoastal "to dock a mega yacht."

The home has been gathering international attention since hitting the market.
