Could you imagine paying $75 million for a house? No? Well, how about $75 for an unfinished house?

This 90,000-square-foot home is for sale outside of Orlando, Florida--as is--the AP reports. It has 23 bathrooms, 13 bedrooms, 10 kitchens, and three pools. The owners and timeshare tycoon David Siegel calls his halted creation "Versailles," which is billed as the largest home for sale in the United States. Florida's housing market has been hit hard in the recession, even at the top end, clearly, if Siegel stopped construction on the mansion. Some other features, besides nearly two bathrooms for every bedroom, are a 20-car garage and...

  • a bowling alley

  • an indoor roller rink

  • a movie theater

  • a video arcade

  • a fitness center

  • a baseball field

  • two tennis courts

After plunking down $75 million, you'd have to supply interior walls, carpet, and tile. Surely, there will be lots of other items needed, and some major landscaping, too. Oh, and the roller rink isn't quite finished yet, either.
