Part II of II

Only the most impressive homes have made it to our list of the ten most desirable estates listed for sale in 2015. Here are our picks for this year:

4. Bali Hai
This idyllic hideaway of Bali Hai is actually located in Queensland, Australia and offers more than breathtaking views to the Daintree Mountains. Looking like the kind of house that only Bond villains would spend their time in, this property boasts 80 acres of natural paradise and privacy.

From the stunning wet edge pool and sunken baths to the swimming holes and rapids in the pristine river going through the property, the 3-bedroom and 3-bathroom house is much more than a place to call ‘home’.

3. The Branson Estate
Sir Richard Branson needs no introduction, which is why we weren’t too surprised when he unveiled the breathtaking Branson Estate. The virgin shores of British Virgin Islands now hide this private retreat that will be open for rentals starting 2016.

Located on Moskito Island, and surrounded by the azzure blue Caribbean waters, the property covers over 125 acres and it’s able to accommodate up to 22 guests. It’s actually made of three villas, called the Headland House, the Mangrove Villa, and the Beach Villa, plus a breathtaking Recreation Area and drool inducing Beach House.

2. 1890s Stone Castle
A fascinating 1890s stone castle, located in the lovely city of Yonkers, New York, is nestled on an amazing property of nearly one acre, filled with gorgeous terraces and overlooking the Hudson River.

Boasting a stunning interior designed, steeped rich in history, this lavish residence comes with 20 incredible rooms with a charming decor inspired from the European glitz and glam of the 16th and 18th centuries.

1. Villa Penelope
We’ve saved the best for last: Villa Penelope is another fabulous mansion located the Greek island of Mykonos. The 4,300 square-foot property boasts superb contemporary architecture and all the luxurious amenities anyone could ask for, including five guest bedrooms with their own bathrooms, but the most impressive is without a doubt the lavish master bedroom.
