The Gables at Fairweather Bay, Estate of the Day

Medina Waterfront Estate

The Medina Waterfront Estate is 30,000-square feet of one of the most luxurious homes on the west coast. Located just outside of Seattle, the home sits on 5.42 waterfront acres, complete with a 114-foot dock and floatplane lift for easy parking. The house itself, which looks like a European manor house, has 6 bedrooms and its own website, though they're only interested in serious buyers. Given that the asking price is $53 million, with a 10% down payment and a monthly mortgage of $301,000, there probably is a limited supply of serious buyers, which helps to explain why the house has been on the market since the 1990s.
