ほんの数か月前まで、「アメリカで一般販売されている最も高額な住宅」は、フロリダの邸宅で、価格は1億3900万ドル（およそ161億円）だった。
現時点で「アメリカで最も高額の住宅」には、そのフロリダの物件より約40％も高い値がついている。不動産サイトの情報によれば、カリフォルニア州ビバリーヒルズにあるその住宅の希望価格は、1億9500万ドル（およそ226億円）だ。
この住宅「Palazzo di Amore（イタリア語で“愛の館”）」は、住宅と呼ぶのをはばかられるような大邸宅だ。「ウォール・ストリート・ジャーナル」紙の記事によると、敷地面積は25エーカーだ（10万平方メートル。東京ドームの2分の1の広さ）。
居住スペースは複数の棟にまたがっており、合わせると約5000平方メートルに及ぶ。ベッドルームが12室、バスルームが23室あるほか、「250人が食事できるダイニングルーム」もある。
母屋に到着するには、オリーブの林の中を走る約400メートルに及ぶ私道を、3つの門を通って行かなければならない。そうしてようやく、3250平方メートルの広さを誇る地中海風ヴィラにたどり着く。
娯楽設備があまりにも多いため、専用の別棟がある。その広さは約1400平方メートル。ボーリング場や、50名収容の映画館、さらには、回転するダンスフロアが設置された「ディスコ」まであるのだ。
「ロサンゼルス・タイムズ」紙の記事によれば、娯楽専用棟には、キラキラ輝くプールの上に渡されたガラスの通路を通っていくのだという。もちろん、サウナ付きのスパやスイミングプール、ナイター用照明が完備されたテニスコートもある（文末にあるスライドショーを参照）。
さて、贅の限りを尽くしたこの屋敷の持ち主は誰なのだろう？ それは、不動産投資家のジェフ・グリーン氏という人物で、伝えられるところによれば、アメリカ住宅市場の急落を予測して大儲けしたのだという。
「ブルームバーグ」紙の報道によると、グリーン氏は2007年に、未完成だったこの邸宅を3500万ドルで購入。その後、完成までにおよそ2500万ドルを注ぎ込んだという。
どうやら、グリーン氏はこの邸宅には住んでいないようだ（彼が主に暮らしている家はフロリダにある）。ここ数年は、賃貸物件として主にサウジアラビアの王族に貸し出してきた。最近の家賃は月額47万5000ドル（約5500万円）だ。
なお、これほどの額でありながら、「Palazzo di Amore」は、世界の住宅市場全体で見ると、最も高い家というわけではない。フランス南部のコート・ダジュールにある「Villa Fiorentina（ヴィラ・フィオレンティーナ）」が、5億2500万ドル（約610億円）で売り出し中だと報じられている。

#4: West Vancouver, $25 million(79 of110)
This estate, on 1.5 acres of West Van coastline, is slick enough to be featured in a flyover opening shot on an American nighttime soap. If Vancouver were \"Dynasty,\" the Colbys would live here.

#3: Vancouver, $25.8 million(80 of110)
How about a boarded-up wreck for $26 million? Realtors will tell you it\'s the land, not the house, that counts, and the land here is 1.2 acres overlooking the British Columbia coastline in one of Vancouver\'s most posh areas (Point Grey). And as long as Vancouver continues to be the second-least affordable housing market in the world, wrecks like this will likely keep coming up for sale for millions. (credit:Royal Pacific Realty)

#2: Toronto, $28.8 million(83 of110)
This 24,000-square-foot palace in Toronto\'s uber-ritzy Bridle Path neighbourhood sits on 2 acres (huge by Toronto standards). Probably the coolest feature is a kitchen sunroom that opens almost fully onto a deck that has avery cool-looking kiln, reminiscent of Ontario\'s pioneer days. There are 10 bedrooms, 15 bathrooms, a dining hall to feed 100 people and a chef\'s kitchen to match. (credit:Elise Kalles)

#1: Southern Alberta, $37.9 million(96 of110)
Just short of $38 million will get you this historic house on the outskirts of Calgary, which was once owned by the Ford family of Ford Motor Company fame. This place is unbelievable. There are two houses on the 242-acre property, as well as a covered bridge and even a vintage gas station. The place even manages to maintain a rustic, country-house feel, complete with wood-burning stove and all. Wow. (credit:Sotheby\'s International Canada)
