According to Business Insider, the most expensive villa in China is priced at 1 billion yuan (approximately 149 million USD).
The Dao Hua Yuan Villa spans approximately 672 hectares and is located on a private island in the Dushi Lake, Suzhou.
All 32 bedrooms of the villa face south, providing ideal sunlight exposure.
The villa is nearly 10 years old. The lakeside pool offers stunning views of the distant city of Suzhou.
The gardens, including this mist-covered pond, are modeled after the classical gardens of Suzhou, which are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The mansion took three years to build, and all the bricks were handcrafted.
The home’s interior is equally magnificent, featuring a stunning wine cellar.
The blend of traditional East Asian and contemporary styles adds vibrancy to the home.
The villa features plenty of outdoor space and courtyards for relaxation.
On real estate listings, the villa is referred to as “the one billion yuan house.”
