This is where America's most expensive property on the selling block is located – a barrier island in Manalapan, Florida. The 15.6-acre estate is known as the Gemini estate, and is owned by the Ziff publishing family. If you're wondering what's the price? It's going for $195 million!
The home was built in the 1940s for the Lambert phramaceutical family, and designed by architect Marion Sims Wyeth. It was purchased by its current owners in the 1980s, who later used four years to expand and reconstruct it (which completed in 2003), to include a tunnel under a highway to access the guest house and boat dock.
The mansion has been a family home for almost 40 years, with a staggering 62,220 square feet of space. Together with its other properties onsite, which includes a manager's house and beach cottages, the property has about 84,988 square feet of living space with 33 bedrooms and 47 bathrooms!
The swimming pool is surrounded by cultivated jungle, which include over 1,500 varieties of tropical trees and plants.
The estate is sited on 16 acres of space that stretches along 1,200 feet of Atlantic Ocean beachfront. The jungle of tropical plants and trees act as a privacy hedge.
Even the access tunnel to access the guest house and boat dock on the Intracoastal Waterway is made as cosy as possible, with its own fireplace.
