House Most expensive house in America
$150 million
A house belonging to late TV producer Aaron Spelling has gone on the market in Los Angeles with an asking price of $150 million (£105m) – making it the most expensive property for sale in the US. Located in the exclusive Holmby Hills neigbourhood, the sprawling mansion boasts a staggering 56,500 square feet of interior space, set in over 4.6 acres of land.
The property is so vast that Spelling’s widow, Candy Spelling, was unable to provide estate agents with an exact room count – although estimates put the tally at over 100.
“There’s a lot. (The house) has evolved and I actually haven’t gone around and counted”, she said.
Potential buyers perusing the labyrinthine, French chateau-inspired estate will find such essential features as a bowling alley, a wine cellar and tasting room, a library, gym – even a dedicated gift-wrapping room, and a humidity-controlled facility for storing the family silver.
The grounds are peppered with fountains, a waterfall, a citrus orchard, tennis courts, two swimming pools and a spa – plus parking space for over 100 cars,
The 17,000 square foot attic, which was converted by the Spellings before Aaron’s death in 2003, features a full-service barber shop and beauty salon.
