7. The Manor - $150 Million

It was originally built by Aaron Spelling, and was famously known as the Spelling mansion for almost 30 years.

6. The Pinnacle - $155 Million
This unique log cabin-style mansion is located in Montana and it's owned by Tim Blixseth.

No comment ... :)
ReplyDeletePerfect collection of ready made houses. Most surprisingly, all of them are really cool. I would like to see a combination of wood and stone as well as any material for the structure such as concrete and steel.
