Sure, technically the country's truly largest house—the well-documented, high-drama "Versailles" monster thatsmears across Windermere, Fla., at 90,000 square feet—has blipped onto the market a few times in the last few years, but the palace has been off the official listings since August 2012, probably because the owners are now trying to wrap construction before selling it off. (Interested parties, word is, can still pay $65M for the property as is.) With Versailles off the table, it seemed a fine idea to round up the nation's other largest estates on the market right now.
Of course, "largest house" is a somewhat nebulous term so, to clarify: this list only takes from single-family,actualized—though do keep an eye out for NYC's 62,000-square-foot The Residence at River House, TBD—listings in the United States found on Zillow. Now what counts as a "single-family?" Also nebulous. Let's put it this way: a huge manor with a couple of guest houses on the property? Sure, the total compound's interior square-footage is counted here. A property that's got a house plus four guest villas, three stocked lakes, two guest houses, and a 70,000-square-foot equestrian center? Yeah, that's not a house, that's a summer camp.Nice try, bub.
