America’s most expensive home is a 38,000-square-foot spec home(1) in Bel Air listed for $250 million. “This home was curated for the ultimate billionaire who wants the best of everything that exists in life,” luxury developer Bruce Makowsky said.

This spec home has:

• Over 100 artworks in the house
• A helicopter that starred in the 1980’s television series Airwolf
• 12 car “auto gallery” with rare vintage automobiles including a custom Rolls-Royce, a Bugatti and a vintage Allard
• Infinity pool and hot tub with a swim-up bar
• 12 bedrooms
• 21 bathrooms
• Three kitchens
• A 40-seat movie theater
• 270-degree hilltop views from downtown to the ocean
• Four-lane bowling alley that has shoes in every size
• A candy room that is filled with towering cylinders of sweets
• Two wine cellars that are stocked with hundreds of bottles of Champagne and wine
• Glass ping-pong and billiards tables
• A Hobie Cat sailboat
• Seven full-time employees, who live in a separate staff wing
• Turf roofs

The home “comes with everything,” owner-developer Bruce Makowsky said. “You don’t even need a toothbrush.” Imagine the things you could do with this house?

Have a party for free, because you have all the alcohol already, drive every car, chill in a helicopter, eat anytime you want, run around, you can literally do anything, rent the rooms out as a lil hotel, ANYTHING.

Spec Home – The term “spec” is short for speculative home for sale. Builders, even custom builders sometimes build homes for sale with no particular buyer in mind.
