Russia's New Community For The Ultra-Rich

Outside of Moscow, one of Russia's most expensive housing complexes has been constructed. Russian developer Aras Agalarov has created a community oh so modestly called the Agalarov Golf and Country Club. Sky News recently checked out the development which includes a hotel, sports complex and a golf course. There is also a "beach club" which fronts a lake and includes a restaurant. Agalarov told Sky News that he wanted to create a paradise. The community features huge multimillion dollar homes in a variety of different styles including Mediterranean mansions and columned Palladian palaces.

The community also has some pretty strict rules. No dogs outside and if you travel with bodyguards you must leave them outside the community in a special bodyguard lounge. Even though Russia's richest people have seen their fortunes diminished over the past year only three of the 15 mansions remain unsold. The Agalarov website features a variety of dazzling images of this property which hopes to provide everything a Russian multi-millionaire might require.
