The Most Expensive Home In Washington Costs More Than A Whole City
Why is this Vashon Island home so expensive? It's a mansion on 525 acres with a private driving range and 8 miles of hiking trails.
VASHON, WA - In 2015, the city of Grantzville, Ga., sold its entire downtown (famous for being the filming location for "The Walking Dead") for $680,000. Other cities have been sold on Ebay, like Bridgeville, Calif., which in 2002 sold for $700,000.
The point is: you could buy an entire town for a fraction of the cost of the most expensive home for sale in Washington right now.
It's a $28 million farm/estate on Vashon Island with apparently the "greatest" privately owned landscaping in the U.S. It also has private lakes, a driving range - oh and a heli-pad so you can skip Puget Sound traffic. Here are the details:
