Although not yet finished, the "largest family home in America" is now for sale in southwest Orange County, with an asking price of $75 million. Time-share mogul David Siegel and his wife, Jacqueline, have put the 13-bedroom, 23-bathroom mansion on Lake Butler on the market, reports the Orlando Sentinel. The couple dubbed the residence "Versailles" after the French palace that inspired it. The 90,000-square-foot house — 66,800 square feet of which is heated and air-conditioned, according to the real estate listing — was announced by the Siegels in 2003 but is still 12 to 18 months from completion, reports the Orlando Sentinel. Versailles boasts a 20-car garage and a commercial-grade kitchen with a hibachi grill that seats 12 diners. It has a 7,200-square-foot grand hall capped by a 30-foot-wide, stained-glass dome that took three years to build by hand. The property includes 1.4 miles of lake shore. And while a palace fit for a king, it was also designed with Siegel's eight Ch*ldren in mind, for it includes a two-lane bowling alley, roller rink, arcade and Ch*ldren's theater. Still, $75 million is not an unheard-of price in Florida's luxury-home circles: A Russian billionaire snapped up Donald Trump's Palm Beach mansion in 2008 for $95 million — or $30 million less than the asking price. Earlier that same year, another South Florida property, owned by philanthropist Sidney Kimmel, was bought for $77.5 million by a former Goldman Sachs partner, reports the Orlando Sentinel. Guess the only green factor the buyer of this abode will be concerned about is the color of money. |

No answer for Brother Orange but if the verbal description just isn't enough, there's this: http://weblogs.sun-sentinel.com/news/sp ... ame_1.html Great blogsite. Look at the list of forums on the right--if it's typical Florida, it's here. |
