These days, we're all in on guilty pleasures.
In search of dreamy real estate, we cast our eyes to the apex of the market—the rare air of America's most expensive homes on the market right now.
When we last looked in summer 2019, the nation's most expensive home was Chartwell, the renowned Bel-Air estate, priced at $195 million. However, it's no longer on our list, thanks to its $150 million sale late last year.
It's a new cast of eye-popping places, with a few familiar faces from our sojourns into seriously expensive mansions.
And while it may seem counterintuitive to have a $100 million-plus listing on the market at this moment in history, the time might be exactly right for a rarified group.
Major pieces of property with lots of land and high-end amenities are quite appealing in this era of sheltering at home. And what better way to encase yourself in a bubble than in one of these 10 regal residences?
Scroll on down for a full look at the priciest properties for sale in America.
Price: $160 million
Posh particulars: If you’re going to spend the price of a small town on a single property, then that’s what you should get, right? Villa Firenze bills itself as an “authentic Italian village.”
Seven years in the making, the property is the “largest assemblage in Beverly Park.”
Set on 9 acres and accessed by its own street, the gated compound includes a 30-car courtyard, surrounded by 40-foot-tall palms. The setting will make you think you’ve been transported to Europe. The 20,000-square-foot mansion, designed by William Hablinski Architecture, has 20 beds and 23 baths.
The interior boasts “every possible amenity,” including high ceilings, large formal gathering spaces, and arched doorways. Out back, there's 4 landscaped acres, which include a pool and pool house, two-story guesthouse, tennis court, and a walking/jogging trail. Not enough space? A separate lot comes with room for additional development.
The area is home to such celebs as Mark Wahlberg and Eddie Murphy. This pricey property is reportedly owned by the CEO of Air Lease Corp., Steven F. Udvar-Házy, and his wife, Christine. The couple listed the mansion three years ago for $165 million. The price was reduced this month.

Price: $150 million
Posh particulars: Get out of the city and head to the Hamptons! With this spread, you can bring your entire extended family. It's been on the market for three long years, but hasn't attracted a billionaire buyer, yet.
The 14-acre parcel with 700 feet of beachfront includes three contiguous lots with opportunities to build. There's a 12,000-square-foot main residence with indoor pool, a tennis court with tennis house, pool and spa, pool house, and two golf greens with golf houses.
The sprawling coastal property was purchased in three separate transactions, and the buyer had big plans to build a family compound. Instead, he placed the entire property back on the market in 2017 for $150 million, where it has sat ever since.

Posh particulars: While the Mar de Amor, or Sea of Love, built in the 1990s, offers plenty to like, it may not be what comes to mind when thinking “beach house.”
