Home, Sweet $190-Million Home

David Ogilvy & Associates, Christie's International Real Estate

First built in 1896, Copper Beech Farm (named after the trees that grow on its 50 acres) hasn't been publicly listed for sale in more than 100 years. With its 12 bedrooms ~ most with fireplaces ~ 7 full baths and 2 half-baths, a solarium and wine cellar, 6-car garage, 3-bedroom gatehouse, grass tennis court, apple orchard, and 75-foot pool, it is, for now, officially the most expensive home for sale in the United States ever ~ take that, $135-million Crespi-Hicks estate in Dallas! (But, of course, this is just the asking price.) (story, slideshow, video): http://www.forbes.com/sites/morganbrennan/2013/05/19/asking-190-million-this-is-americas-new-most-expensive-home-for-sale/
