Alaska's Most Expensive Listing is a $9 Million Fairytale...

Soaring past local comps, Alaska's priciest pad is a $9 million mansion spanning 17,000 square feet with themed rooms straight from a fairytale. Listed just a few weeks ago, "Second Star," as it has come to be known, will set a state record if it sells for anywhere near its list price. In comparison, the next most expensive Alaskan listing is asking $3.5 million. The home was named for its influences from the "Peter Pan" books. In the fairytale, Neverland is accessed through the "second star to the right and straight on till morning." In reality, Alaska's "Second Star" is sited near Homer, AK on 2.5 acres of oceanfront property overlooking the Kachemak Bay and surrounding mountains. The magical home was constructed in 2011 for the most high-end family living Alaska has to offer, as the U.S.' 49th state had nothing like this before. It was intended to be a vacation home for the owner and currently serves as a rental often used as a wedding venue. The home has eight bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, two kitchens and a surplus of common areas. It can comfortably sleep up to 30 people and entertain many more. The home is offered fully-furnished with its existing custom and one-of-a-kind appointments. It is estimated that the furniture alone is worth approximately $300,000, with an additional $250,000 in custom lighting and chandeliers. While maintaining its extremely high-end status, the home is also supremely livable. Its adornments are unimposing and instead provide the ultimate in comfort and usability. The Most Expensive Cars Ever Made There is ample kitchen space to serve an event - a main kitchen that can seat up to 30 people with a hidden scullery for preparation, not to mention the expansive pantry and dishwasher, as well as a secondary kitchen upstairs near the game room. Entertaining is also well-served in the 30-seat theater room, the Parisian marketplace connecting the theater and the library, a luxurious spa area with indoor pool, Turkish bath, sauna and massage room and many more gathering spaces. The fairytale continues to the sleeping arrangements, where guest rooms are themed to submerse you into the world of "Peter Pan." Adult spaces have a nautical touch, while children's rooms are completely immersive. The "Darling" bedroom is decorated to resemble Wendy Darling's bedroom in the storybook and has access to the "Neverland" suite. In "Neverland," a wooden ship serves as a play area with a bed inside it. A suspension bridge leads to more play areas with climbing structures, slides and hideaway nooks. Paintings of crocodiles, mermaids and magical places are a child or child-at-heart's dream come true. The family-friendly home currently rents for $3,500 per night and is often booked out a year in advance. View Listing Photogaphy via Keller Williams Realty Alaska Group/Ryan Black

Modeled after the curvature of a modern-day yacht, Travis Scott's new Los Angeles mansion hangs over a hilltop in the premier Brentwood neighborhood. Scott reportedly dropped $23.5 million in cash for his new showplace, which spans more than 16,000 square feet and includes some impressive amenities to complement its panoramic city views.

The home itself sits fr below street level, making it invisible from the road and secluded from neighboring estates. Parking for more than a dozen vehicles is at the roof level, and as you circle around the drive, further down you'll approach a 20-car auto gallery garage. Entering the home through glass front doors, a giant walnut sculpture and wall of greenery welcome guests at the entrance. The main level hosts gatherings in the great room, bar, seating and dining areas, as well as the lavish gourmet kitchen. Below the main level is an entertaining space with a 15-person theater room, substantial wet bar, 650-bottle wine closet, gym and sauna.

Entertaining continues outdoors with a summer kitchen, poolside cabana and dining areas, in addition to the 75-foot pool that seems to hang over the hillside.

The Best Georgia Mansions You Can Buy Today

The draw of delightful Georgia may be found in the state’s beautiful scenery, which embraces you all while taking your breath away. Its allure may also be found in the state’s long-standing history that has been carefully preserved in quaint small towns. Or, it could be its metropolitan areas, where new businesses, local eateries, boutiques and cultural entertainment are celebrated. Most who settle in Georgia have proudly claimed a borough as their own and will feverishly boast about all it has to offer. The luxury real estate agents prevalent in each city are especially eager to share all of their areas’ most attractive qualities with you. Julie Barnett of Harry Norman Realtors proclaims the recognition of Lake Burton as the Crown Jewel of Georgia for its pristine waters and magnificent mountain vistas. Located in northeast Georgia, just an hour and a half from Atlanta, Asheville and Greenville, the local town of Clayton lies along Lake Burton’s shoreline. “It is dotted with a variety of boutique shops and dining choices, from fine farm-to-table restaurants to outdoor burgers,” says Barnett. “Additional lake dining can be found at the Marinas and The Waterfall Golf Club that sits high above the lake showing off the incredible majestic views of the Appalachian Mountains.” A short drive down I-85 from Lake Burton, the suburbs just north of metropolitan Atlanta enjoy ease of access to the city’s booming economy. Here, Dan Jones of Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Metro Brokers says residents relish in the benefits of the city, which include, “…business, cultural, educational, entertainment, shopping and professional sports opportunities, as well as access to many regional and national parks like the Chattahoochee River National Park and recreation areas, several lakes including Lake Allatoona and Lake Lanier, plus the North Georgia Mountains, where you can still pan for gold, visit almost a dozen Georgia wineries and hike the Appalachian Trail all the way to Maine.” Whether a quiet lake town is your ideal escape, or you prefer the lively lifestyle of Atlanta’s animated downtown, explore some of Georgia’s best real estate offerings among the estates to follow.
