A spectacular waterfront compound offering every imaginable amenity\u2014including a go-kart track, bowling alley, culinary wing, concealed theater, wellness center, and lounge with full-service bar\u2014has just hit the market in Florida<\/a> for an eye-watering $115 million.<\/p>\n

If the property achieves anywhere near that lofty ask, it would shatter the record for the priciest residential home ever sold in the Tampa Bay area.<\/p>\n

Known as The Oaks Estate<\/a>, the 87-acre lakefront compound in Tampa, FL<\/a>, overlooks Lake Thonotosassa and can be accessed directly by seaplane or helicopter. It’s the ideal spot for a wealthy buyer to retreat to for some time in the beautiful sun.<\/p>\n

The jaw-dropping compound\u2014which has soared to the top of the week’s most expensive homes list<\/a>\u2014comes with multiple structures.<\/p>\n

A gas lamp\u2013lit guardhouse marks the entry point to the expansive estate, which is anchored by a 42,782-square-foot French Normandy chateau that serves as the lavish primary residence. Opulent details found inside this mansion include hand-scraped French oak floors, 12-foot mahogany doors, limestone columns, and a floating glass boardroom.<\/p>\n

Other over-the-top amenities include a billiard room, a hammam\/sauna, an indoor saltwater pool, a gentleman’s lounge, a primary suite with bespoke dressing rooms, and a professional-grade fitness complex.<\/p>\n

Equestrian facilities, including a six-stall barn, a 5-acre fenced-in area, and three paddocks, along with a jogging trail and a detached two-bedroom guesthouse can also be found on the sprawling lot.<\/p>\n

Built in 2012, the dwelling last traded hands for $16.7 million in 2021, when Erika and Don Wallace, founder of Lazydays RV, sold the estate to the current owner, real estate investor Steven Lempera. Lempera and his wife later added a 51-acre parcel, which they bought for $3.65\u00a0million, to the property.<\/p>\n

More jaw-dropping estates to make the week’s most expensive homes list include actress Candice Bergen’s New York<\/a> co-op, a Montecito<\/a> mansion returning to the market for the seventh time, and an ultraluxurious Florida spec mansion.<\/p>\n
