Stunning mansion with man cave, movie theater and heated driveway becomes Ohio's most expensive home for sale after listing for record sum
A 60-acre riverfront estate in Hunting Valley, Ohio, is on the market for a record-breaking $19.995 million.
The roughly 20,700-square-foot mansion comes with six bedrooms and stretches along the banks of the Chagrin River.
The property includes a private sandy beach, a plunge pool, a Bocce court, and a greenhouse. An arched breezeway connects the main house to a detached garage, which can accommodate up to 20 cars.
A 'man cave' above the garage features a bar, a golf simulator, and a barber's station. The property also boasts a wine cellar, a steam room, and a heated driveway.
If it sells for close to its asking price, it will become the most expensive home ever sold in Ohio, listing agent Jen Waters told the Wall Street Journal.
