I quite like this, an £/€18.5million wooden shed.

That started off in proper Bond-villain style, then went downhill. "His skyscraper home in the city will be over 170m tall and will have an army.... of 600 staff to manage it. "

Buckingham Palace?

Interesting call, anyone want to give Savills a ring

I'm guessing it classifies more as a stately attraction than residential though

& a whole Island does not count as the value is in the island not the property, i know, location location n all that, but c'mon....

Er, your logic is a bit flawed there. (Most of) the value is in the land when you buy a house. Especially at the top level where a buyer will happily demolish the existing house (see Bishops Avenue for examples)

Is Updown court in Surrey no longer the most expensive house?

http://www.updowncourt.com/

Did that ever sell in the end?

nope!

[FourWheelDrift]

It should sell, I mean how many houses have a heated marble driveway.

Interesting how all those Russians Communists are now finding capitalism and going beserk (with our gas money no doubt)

Ummmmm....considering the property linked below is from Christies Great Estates, a website that doesn't baulk at printing prices of properties upwards of $95,000,000 for this to be POA must mean...well.

Auersperg Palace, Vienna. Yes a former Royal Palace in Vienna. Built in 1706 and giving prospective owners 6,500 sq metres (that's Sq m not Sq ft !!)

Oh and they have Pickfair for sale at $60,000,000. Those who haven't heard of it it's the renowned Georgian-style manor once owned by silent film star greats Douglas Fairbanks Sr. and Mary Pickford.

...y'know when you go on Rightmove, and do a postcode/area search, it always lists the houses' in the order of most expensive first... but never, ever, have I seen a pricetag that high. Not when I've searched Manchester, Bradford, or even Stockport. Weird or what

You went out flying when IBM came round looking for an OS?

Bill Gates current house is less ostentatious but very high tech.

pretty sure that was on mtv's cribs. some of the technology is unreal. i love how each person who lives in the house wears a bracelet or something like that and the computer in the house reads it and changes lights, temperature and even the music to suit the persons mood or preset tastes.

I was probably still at school when that deal went down! I once did a job (AV install) for one of the founders of Intel though. Back in 1994 he was reportedly making $55m a year!

Most expensive? This one is costing us all a ****ing fortune!
