Bust out the sunblock! We’re going to dive into a home with the most epic pool we’ve ever seen—a Texas lake house with a million-dollar pool. The home with its own private water park splashed its way to the top of the most popular homes this week on realtor.com®.
And it’s a sight to behold: The lazy river features islands, a pair of hammocks swinging in the breeze, and a waterfall at the center of it all. All of the aquatic elements blend together to create an elaborate water park unlike any we’ve ever seen. Who doesn’t need an oasis these days?
And it wasn’t the only jaw-dropping house on this week’s list. There’s a brand-new, custom-built masterpiece in Virginia inspired by an art gallery, a contemporary oceanfront estate in Rhode Island, and a recently completed Beverly Hills, CA, mansion with an underground gallery for displaying your multimillion-dollar car collection.
These properties are a departure from the historic homes that usually comprise the lion’s share of the top 10. We applaud your determination in finding click-worthy properties from every era.
In the meantime, we’ll dream of floating on a raft while soaking up some rays. We’ll even hold your drink while you scroll on. That’s what friends are for!
