I found a $210 million palace in Israel that looks like Versailles fell into the Mediterranean
Seriously, look at this place. It is a 75,000-square-foot mansion in Caesarea that costs more than some small island nations. If you ever wanted to live like an 18th-century French king but with modern air conditioning and a view of the sea, this is apparently possible.
Starting with the backyard
You pull up to the gates and the first thing you see is this massive pool that looks more like a Roman bath than a place to do laps.
And they did not stop at one fountain. There are multiple massive water features scattered around the grounds, complete with full-scale sculptures.
One of the fountains has gold statues spraying water. It feels less like a backyard and more like a public park in Rome.
From the upper terrace, you can see how the whole property runs right down toward the beach.
The scale of the pool deck is hard to wrap your head around until you see it from the side steps.
The entry hall is basically a cathedral
You open the front doors and you are standing in a 2,400-square-foot lobby with a stained glass dome overhead. The columns are solid marble and there is actual 14k gold on the moldings.
The main living spaces
The main living room has a ceiling painted to look like a blue sky with clouds. Every single piece of furniture is custom, heavily gilded, and probably weighs a ton.
Even the kitchen looks like a professional workspace designed for a team of chefs, but with massive gold hoods and red marble countertops.
The formal dining room has enough space to host a state dinner, complete with wood paneling and massive gold chandeliers.
If you just want a quick coffee, there is a smaller circular breakfast room surrounded by heavy blue drapes.
The bedrooms are pure royalty
The bedrooms do not hold back on the royal theme. This guest room has deep blue wallpaper and a matching bedframe.
The master suite is huge. It has two separate dressing areas and a bed that looks like it belongs to a literal emperor.
The main bathroom has a sunken tub flanked by blue marble columns and gold trim.
Even the vanity is over the top. It has gold mirror frames and blue marble detailing everywhere.
This powder room uses a bold blue and gold color scheme that makes it feel like a jewelry box.
Entertainment on another level
Downstairs is where things get wild. There is a billiards room that sits directly under another stained glass dome.
Next to that is a full arcade room with a fiber-optic ceiling that looks like a starry night sky.
If you want a more quiet game, there is a second wood-paneled pool room that feels like an old-school gentleman’s club.
The home theater has tiered red velvet seating and a massive screen.
The wellness wing
The indoor spa area has its own lap pool under a massive vaulted skylight.
The gym is fully loaded with equipment and wrapped in warm wood panels.
There is also a private hammam with ornate blue and white mosaic tiles.
You can even get a massage in a dedicated treatment room.
And when you are done, you can relax in this Moroccan-style lounge with a massive fireplace.
