Versailles house, Châteauesque mansion in Windermere, US.
Versailles house is a châteauesque mansion in Windermere, Florida, covering 90,000 square feet (8,360 square meters), with marble walls, Brazilian mahogany windows, and multiple indoor and outdoor swimming pools. The rooms spread across several levels and include nine kitchens and fourteen bedrooms, among other spaces.
Construction began in 2004 but was interrupted during the 2008 financial crisis when the property was listed for 65 million dollars. Work resumed later, though the project remained unfinished for many years.
The name refers to the French palace, a connection visible in details such as replicated furnishings and proportions across several rooms. Visitors often notice how this reference shapes the appearance, even though the building stands in a modern residential neighborhood.
The complex includes two tennis courts and a garage accommodating thirty-five vehicles, which gives a sense of the property's scale. Some areas are accessible depending on viewing conditions, and the large layout requires some walking time.
The ballroom floor displays a butterfly pattern in memory of Victoria Siegel. The living room was designed to recreate the interior of a private passenger cabin on an aircraft.
