We've got a pricey one for you today real estate lovers. Let's check out Hillandale, the 263-acre estate of Liberty Travel co-founder Gilbert Haroche and his wife which just went on the market for $95 million. The estate is on the Connecticut-New York border and has five homes, a chapel, a private lake, an authentic tepee and five miles of roads. The Sulzberger family, longtime publishers of The New York Times were one-time owners of this home. The main house is over 20,000 square feet and the home has eight bedrooms and an indoor pool. The Haroches will likely make an amazing return on their investment, they bought for around $6.7 million and have doubled the size of the main house and built a stone chapel with material from France. They are moving on because the property is now a little large for them. Any guesses on what this estate will actually fetch?
