Somewhere, right now, a real estate agent is saying the words “and this is the shark room” with a completely straight face.
We went through the listings so you don’t have to. These are real homes with real asking prices and amenities that suggest the architect was never once told no.
The Amenities
The Shark Hallway
Bighorn Golf Club estate, Palm Desert, CA $59 million
On the walk from the entryway to the dining room, sharks swim along both walls and over your head. The house also has six kitchens, which is five more than anyone who owns sharks has time to use.
Necessity: 0%
Verdict: Dinner is served. Please do not tap the glass.
The Car Elevator
Penthouse, Bentley Residences Miami From $37.5 million
The patented “Dezervator” lifts you up the tower while you sit in your car, then parks you in a glass garage next to your living room. The penthouse terrace is engineered so a candle stays lit outside, 61 floors up.
Necessity: 0%
Verdict: Finally, a home where your Bentley gets the ocean view.
The Secret Tunnel
Disney-inspired estate, Hyrum, UT $19.5 million
A 40,000-square-foot house with a Disneyland tiki room replica, a 65-seat Star Wars theater, a Swiss Family Robinson bedroom and an underground tunnel to the garage. It was listed at $35 million, then cut to $19.5 million and sent to auction.
Necessity: 0%
Verdict: The happiest place on Earth, now 44% off.
The Go-Kart Track
Sports estate, Gilbert, AZ $20 million
A backyard go-kart track, an underground shooting range, a 6,000-square-foot man cave with golf and batting simulators and an aquarium built into the primary shower. Local reporters noted it was unclear whether the go-karts come with the house.
Necessity: 0%
Verdict: The go-karts are negotiable. The midlife crisis is included.
The Bottom Line
None of these rooms are necessary. All of them are exactly what we would build. Our candy room would have better candy.
