I was just browsing through homes for sale that I could never afford, and I came across this little gem: a 17,425-square-foot mansion sitting on three acres in Rumson. Man, is it spectacular!

It has 26 rooms, including six bedrooms and nine bathrooms.

It’s fancy enough that it has a name: Villa Paradiso and it is “where the Amalfi Coast meets the East Coast.”

Here’s part of the listing:

Regal gates open to a long lushly landscaped drive and all of the majesty of a private 17,000+ sqft. custom Mediterranean Villa on three incredibly detailed levels. Lavish and luxurious with a touch of whimsy and warmth, inspired by a love of the sea and the joy of family and friends.

You’re probably wondering how much this magnificent home costs; it has a price tag to match the grandeur of the mansion: $17,500,000. The property tax bill for 2022 was $129,115.
