Dotted across America, these sprawling mega-mansions have it all – breathtaking infinity pools, state-of-the-art entertainment complexes and even private helipads – and the only thing bigger than their square footage is their price tags.
But when you're a billionaire, eight or nine-figure homes are a mere drop in the ocean. Click or scroll to take a look around the most opulent homes in America, that only seriously wealthy buyers could afford...
Perched on a sprawling 40-acre (16.2ha) mountaintop plot in Highlands, North Carolina, Sagee Manor is a one-of-a-kind estate offering unrivalled 360-degree panoramic views.
The exclusive retreat would be ideal for anyone seeking privacy and luxury, since the home is secluded in the mountains and sits behind three sets of stone gates, at the end of a 0.33-mile (0.54km) drive. There's also a helipad, for easy and secure access.
Full to bursting, the estate boasts a stunning manor house, as well as a three-bedroom guest cottage and a pool pavilion, complete with a bathroom, heated pool and spa. The grounds also provide a croquet court, framed by a manicured boxwood hedge and antique stone niches.
Meanwhile, nature enthusiasts can explore the upper meadow, serene woodlands and winding trails, home to rare native plants and abundant birdwatching opportunities. As for the main house, it's a modern and luxurious lodge, built from the finest stone and timber.
Built in 2000, the grand home features four bedrooms, four bathrooms, a regal main hall, a gourmet kitchen, a sitting room, an elegant dining room, a garden room, a stately library, a spacious family room and even a wine cellar.
With flagstone floors, wood-panelled walls, soaring ceilings, elaborate light fixtures and elegant fireplaces, every room is truly exceptional in its design. Plus, there's nothing small about the home's proportions and all the inside spaces are generous in scale, for added wow-factor.
Truly envy-inducing, Sagee Manor was listed for sale in February 2025, with Ivester Jackson Properties, for a snip under $50 million (£40m).
Positioned on an elevated wooded plot in the heart of Evergreen, Colorado, this truly majestic chateau was inspired by the grandeur of the Palace of Versailles in France.
Newly built, the extraordinary masterpiece offers unparalleled levels of opulence, as well as incredible 270-degree panoramic views of the Rocky Mountains, and Mount Blue Sky, from every single room.
On the market in February 2025, with Melissa Temple of Engel & Völkers, the property was priced at just shy of $60 million (£48m).
For that money, the buyer will gain 21,692 square feet (2,015sqm) of living space, including the main house, a self-contained guest apartment and a flexible space that could be used as staff accommodation.
Described by the listing agent as a “sanctuary of privacy and luxury, offering a living experience like no other”, the home truly epitomises sophistication.
From a grand entrance hall with a double-height ceiling and marble details, to this refined, open-plan living space, there's something amazing to see everywhere you look. Pristine in every way, the rooms provide decorative fireplaces, crystal chandeliers and wrought-iron work.
There are six bedrooms and 10 bathrooms in total. The master suite comes complete with a sitting area, walk-in closet and stunning marble bathroom.
The meticulously designed estate also boasts a fully equipped gym, a heated pool, a jacuzzi and an outdoor kitchen that’s perfect for alfresco dining. There’s a billiard room that features an exquisite antique wooden bar from 1885, a 1,500-bottle wine cellar and tasting room. So there's certainly bang for your buck!
Over in the breathtakingly beautiful town of Jackson Hole, Wyoming, you'll find an enchanting ranch that provides some of the most enticing landscapes we've ever seen.
Red Hills Ranch was priced at $65 million (£52m), when it was for sale in February 2025 with Live Water Properties. This was the first time the home had been on the market since 1975!
The private ranch belonged to the late American businessman, philanthropist and former United States Senator, Herb Kohl, for more than 40 years.
We can certainly see what drew the politician to the property. The 190-acre (77ha) sanctuary is surrounded by national forest and wilderness, but is only 25 miles (40km) from downtown Jackson.
The property doesn’t just come with one home, either. There’s a main lodge, three riverfront cabins and an owner’s home, all with views of Teton Range.
The main lodge benefits from a stunning rustic interior, with vaulted beamed ceilings, stone fireplaces and hardwood floors. There's an open-plan living space, an eat-in kitchen and plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms.
The estate also offers amazing hiking, horseback riding, fly fishing, rafting, snowmobiling and cross-country skiing opportunities, as well as 1.5 miles (2.4km) of frontage on the Gros Ventre River.
There’s even a blue-ribbon native trout fishery, irrigated pastures, a tack barn for horses and an outdoor pool. What more could you want?
Vail in Colorado is one of the most sough-after and luxurious ski resorts in the world.
The town is set within White River National Forest at the base of Vail Mountain and has long been a popular spot for billionaire buyers, thanks to its winter sports, summertime activities and cultural festivals. It is in this mesmerising locale that you'll find this architectural masterpiece.
Constructed in 2014, the Alpine residence soars nearly 70 feet (21m) to its highest point. According to the listing, it is Vail's largest core residence at 15,086 square feet (1,402sqm), and cannot be imitated, thanks to exclusive "variances granted decades ago". That makes this home truly one-of-a-kind and perfect for a mogul seeking something exclusive.
Spanning six floors, the home features chic indoor-outdoor living spaces that frame unobstructed views of the Gore Range, through towering windows. Plus, with Loro Piana cashmere walls, hair-on-hide panelled hallways, wide plank oak floors, solid walnut doors and Venetian plaster work, every room is immaculate.

In February 2025, this stunning piece of real estate was for sale. Compass held the listing and the home was priced at $78 million (£62.4m).
World renowned, The Hamptons lie on Long Island's South Fork and are made up of a slew of affluent seaside communities, dotted with generously proportioned shingle buildings, with jaw-dropping price tags. This property, on the shore of Georgica Pond, is just one of them.

Positioned moments from the water in the heart of Palm Beach, Florida, this home is only an option for the super-rich or super-famous (or both!). It's one of only 25 direct intracoastal waterway homes on Palm Beach Island.
The colossal home measures 15,994 square feet (1,486sqm) and was built in 2024. Of course, its most enticing feature has to be the water right outside and this property benefits from 165 feet (50.3m) of frontage.
Palatial and stunning in equal measure, the house was built from the finest materials and boasts prominent columns and endless windows, to frame those all-important views.
Stepping inside, every single room is beautifully presented, with the most lavish fixtures decorating every surface. From marble to wood built-ins and steel work, there's something lovely to see in every space.

There are six bedrooms in total, including dual primary suites. Plus, there's a gorgeous garden outside. It's equipped with a swimming pool, a cabana and a sound-proof guest suite. There's also a brand-new deep water dock that can accommodate a large vessel.
A special home deserves a special price tag, and this property doesn't disappoint in that department, either. It was listed in February 2025, with Christie's International Real Estate, for $95 million (£76.2m)!
Truly a home fit for a billionaire, this mesmerising mansion once belonged to Petra Ecclestone, the daughter of Formula One billionaire, Bernie Ecclestone. According to Mansion Global, Petra reportedly purchased the property in 2011 for $85 million (£68m) and decided to sell it in 2019.
She originally listed the 123-room home for $200 million (£160m) but sold it for $120 million (£96m). At the time, this set a new real estate record for the highest selling price ever in California. It's also one of the most expensive homes in America, period!
The buyer didn’t hold onto the place for long though. In February 2022, the iconic estate was back on the market with Carolwood Estates for $165 million (£132m), before the price was lowered to $137.5 million (£110m) in April 2024.
The exquisite home can be found in the affluent Holmby Hills neighbourhood of Los Angeles and was constructed in 1991 for TV producer Aaron Spelling – the man behind Dynasty and Beverly Hills 90210. Yet Petra Ecclestone is said to have spent a lot of time and money renovating the place.
The 56,500-square-foot (5,249sqm) mansion comes equipped with a huge entrance foyer, finished with black and white marble, seemingly endless living rooms decked out with the finest fittings, 14 bedrooms and 27 bathrooms!
There’s a projection room, a library, an office, a billiard room, a games room, a wine cellar, a gym and a two-lane bowling alley, with its own shoe closet. The home also has private staff quarters, a service wing and a catering kitchen, making it perfect for large-scale entertaining.
The opulent estate features plenty of surprising extras, too, including a room dedicated to cutting flowers, a humidity-controlled room for storing silver, a French wine and cheese room and multiple gift-wrapping rooms, according to Architectural Digest.
There’s also a beauty salon, complete with a hairdresser's station, nail bar, massage rooms and a pedicure zone. Other highlights include a large aquarium in the study, a nightclub in the basement, five acres (2ha) of land, a tennis court, koi pond, citrus orchard, swimming pool, pool house and 100-vehicle motor court.
The most expensive property in America back in June 2023, Casa Encantada was listed for a whopping $250 million (£200m). It first hit the open market in 2020, for the first time in 20 years, and was once owned by famed hotelier, Conrad Hilton, the great-grandfather of Paris Hilton.
The 40,000-square-foot (3,716sqm) mansion sits on eight acres (3.2ha) of land in the ritzy L.A. enclave of Bel-Air and features all the billionaire trappings a super-rich VIP could wish for.
Designed by famed architect James E. Dolena back in1937, the main home has an impressive 60 rooms, with each carefully designed to enjoy views of the city, ocean or gardens.
Restored to its original glory by Peter Marino in the Deco Hollywood style of the original interior designer, T.H. Robjohns Gibbons, the home is both traditional and impeccably finished.
With the lower level designed for entertaining, the second storey features more comfortable family living quarters, as well as opulent home-working spaces.
There's a dramatic entrance with an 14-foot (4.3m) ceiling, a stunning lounge, a luxe kitchen, a formal dining room and a grand office with a sunning marble fireplace, built-in bookshelves and floor-to-ceiling windows.

Outside, there’s an incredible pool pavilion that doubles as a professional movie theatre, an Art Deco cocktail bar, landscaped gardens by Benjamin Purdy, a 60-foot (18.3m) pool, an illuminated tennis court with a viewing pavilion, a sports court and vast lawns. Talk about billionaire bling!
There’s also a guest house that sits alongside the manager's quarters. Despite the home’s beauty and scale, it has struggled to find a buyer – likely because of the high price tag, which limits the number of eligible buyers. The pad was still for sale in February 2025, with Carolwood Estates, for the reduced price of $165 million (£132m).
This sprawling estate is nestled in Glenbrook, Nevada, Lake Tahoe's only gated, lakeside golf course community. Known as Shakespeare Ranch, the world-class property spans 130 acres (53ha) and benefits from over 425 feet (130m) of lake frontage.
Far from just offering a single residence, this estate is home to a 4,980-square-foot (463sqm) lakefront home, as well as 16 other houses and cabins.
One of those homes is under-construction. The 7,713-square-foot (717sqm) property was designed by a world-renowned architect!
There’s also a 465-foot (142m) private pier, two boat lifts, a boat house, a pool house, a spa, a gym, an art loft, horse stables and rodeo grounds. Four of the homes on the estate are also located right on the water's edge.
The residences were constructed in 2000 and provide a total of nine bedrooms and 14 bathrooms. This particular waterside home features a cosy and rustic interior, with soaring timber ceilings, imposing stone fireplaces and large windows that frame incredible scenery.
Outside, you'll find numerous decks where coffees and meals can be enjoyed, as well as a hot tub and a swimming pool for some R&R.
There’s also a historic entertainment barn, outfitted with a commercial kitchen, a games area and wine room – perfect for large-scale celebrations or VIP parties.
It's really no wonder that Shakespeare Ranch was for sale in February 2025, for a cool $188 million (£151m). The listing was held with Chase International and Luxury Portfolio International.
One of the finest and most expensive residences in Los Angeles, The Angelo Estate is perched on a six-acre (2.4ha), elevated plot in Beverly Hills and was priced at $195 million (£156m), in February 2025.
The lavish residence was designed by master architect, Ed Tuttle, in 2012 and has been described by Westside Estate Agency as “truly one of the great estates in all of America”.
Constructed from glass, steel and limestone, the mansion has parking for up to 100 cars, as well as a magnificent open courtyard with fountains.
When you enter the home, you'll find yourself in a gorgeous foyer, reminiscent of IM Pei’s iconic Louvre entrance. And this is just for starters! From beautiful living rooms, to a chef's kitchen, formal dining room and library, the property has everything the super-rich could need.
The property is made up of three structures, spanning a colossal 50,000 square feet (4,645sqm). There's the main house, a two-storey guest house and a separate apartment.
There are 16 bedrooms and 27 bathrooms across the buildings and every single space is majestic, with floor-to-ceiling windows that frame incredible views, contemporary art, white oak timber accents, limestone walls and statement fireplaces. Of course, an estate such as this requires top-tier protection and comes with state-of-the-art electronics and security, as well as a panic room.
The house even has a nightclub, a movie theatre, games room, bowling alley, wellness centre, gym, wine cellar and art gallery, which doubles – by the looks of the glitter ball! Outside, you’ll find superb grounds, including a green marble infinity pool, an outdoor kitchen and a lighted tennis court.
Plus, the house is heated and cooled by geothermal technology and has solar panels and a generator, making it eco-friendly and ready for any disaster.
Amazingly, this $210 million (£168m) listing doesn’t even come with a home. The grand waterfront mansion you see pictured is actually just a conceptual design.
The five-acre (2ha) waterside plot lies in Gordon Pointe – one of the most exclusive neighbourhoods in Port Royal, Florida. The estate comes complete with pristine beaches bordering the crystal-clear waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
In fact, there’s 941 feet (287m) of water frontage.
The compound has been designed to accommodate one primary residence and a guest house, although plans haven't yet been submitted to Governmental Zoning Boards for formal review or re-zoning.
That means the opportunities for this piece of land are seemingly endless.
According to the listing, there's enough space for a 17,106-square-foot (1,589sqm) mansion, with a total of six bedrooms and 13 bathrooms. But really, it's all about the location and the fact that the beach will be mere steps from the front door!
