Interestingly, I know the people involved with this hosue...it is a beauty and the grounds are just wonderful...being close to several golf clubs and a few yacht clubs helps too.The taxes are over 200k per year, but I guess if you spend that much for a house you don't worry about the taxes that much...

I love the style, and it's all really impressive. However for probably a lot less than 43 million dollars I can have the home recreated on substantially more significant property elsewhwere. It's amazing how real estate prices vary. I'm sure the agent and owner are anxious for the sale. A windfall for both.
