The median sold price of a one-bedroom apartment in Manhattan in 2025 is $1.2 million. So, the price of the most expensive home in America hardly bears thinking about, but it has just hit the market if you want to make your eyes water.

The Cost: If you want to be the proud owner of the most expensive home in America, it’ll set you back $300 million. It’s a price that is clearly driven toward the billionaire class. We regular plebs can barely afford to feed ourselves. For most, even the prospect of buying a starter home is out of the question.
- The property was built in 1994 by the California billionaires Stewart and Lynda Resnick. Their company owns brands such as Fiji Water. They own The Wonderful Company, valued at around $6 billion. The property is listed as owned by the company.
What $300 Million Gets
For the best part of half a billion, there are certain expectations from a house. And, the most expensive home in America doesn’t disappoint. It comes with all the bells and whistles a property of that price should.
- 18 Bedrooms – The enormous and expensive house comes with a total of 18 bedrooms throughout its 27,426 square feet. That’s enough to house a huge family. Why anyone would need that many is beyond me. But I am sure billionaires have plenty of ‘friends’ to host.
- An Alpine Area – The property, along with its massive building, also comes with 74.1 acres of beautiful Colorado land. It is nestled in the alpine forests of the mountains. Despite Aspen only being a short drive away, the expensive home is still tucked away in an enormous American forest.
- Lake, Pool, and Riverside -The most expensive home in America gives the choice of chilling by an 80-foot pool, the private lake, or the Roaring Fork River. Whether it’s laps, a day of rowing, or fishing, the home has it all.
The property is listed by Sotheby’s Realty. For 99% of us, it is completely beyond imagination to even visit the property until we finally start overthrowing the elite classes. But I’m going to put an offer in anyway. You never know when the low balls will pay off.
However, the yearly property tax of $131,755 might be a bit of a problem.
