Washington — Eagle Crest Estate, $28 Million

The most expensive home in Washington is off the mainland. It’s on Orcas Island, a horse-shoe shaped isle that’s the largest of the Pacific Northwest’s San Juan Islands. Dubbed Eagle Crest Estate, it’s an 127-acre parcel that sits on 3,000 feet of waterfront. The residences are all quaint cottages, with a main residence and two separate English cottages. There’s a beach house that sits at the water’s edge, too, which was designed in the midcentury modern style. Two barns are fit for different tasks: The “red barn” was designed for horses or cars, while the second barn is meant to house tractors, equipment and generators. It’s a charming estate, albeit one that’s a bit tricky to get to, given its location off the coast of Washington State.

Wisconsin — South Lake Shore Drive, $13.9 Million

While you may not immediately think of Wisconsin as a place to vacation, Lake Geneva in the state’s southeastern corner is considered something of a resort town, drawing the well-heeled from Chicago and other Midwestern cities to their lake houses every year. And this particular lake house at South Lake Shore Drive goes big. Set on 3.5 acres and with 210 feet of prime lake frontage, it’s an idyllic place to enjoy the picturesque scenery in complete privacy. The 12-bedroom, 10-bathroom home has plenty of rooms for guests you’d like to bring along on your weekend at the lake. There’s a pool out back, a rec room and a bar for entertaining. Light pervades the home, accented with marble finishes in the kitchen and baths. A second staff or catering kitchen is ideal for those bigger gatherings on the manicured lawns.

Wyoming — Bar B Bar Ranch, $80 Million

Jackson Hole is frequented by tourists for its skiing, wildlife and proximity to the Tetons. The Bar B Bar Ranch affords a front-row seat to all of the above, as it’s set in the heart of the valley on 278 acres of private land. The property borders the Snake River and affords spectacular views of the Tetons and Grand Teton, the highest mountain in the range. Elk, deer, moose and bald eagles can all be found on the property, which, in addition to the main house, includes a 3,600-square-foot caretaker house that can double as a guest house. As for the main residence, it totals just over 7,900 square feet, and comes equipped with a 540-bottle wine room. The whole thing can be bought fully furnished. The exterior façade is made of Montana moss rock and cedar, giving it a warm, cabin vibe. There’s room for more development as well: The land is composed of seven disparate parcels. The future owner could develop them and sell each off individually for a return on investment.

Most Expensive Home in Michigan

Michigan — Raspberry Lane, $12.5 Million

Lake Charlevoix is the third largest lake in Michigan and has some of the best beaches in the area, so it makes some sense that the state’s most expensive listing is on the waterfront. Case in point: this 16,000-square-foot home on Raspberry Lane is a roomy lake house, with seven bedrooms and eight baths for you and your guests. The three-acre gated estate sits on 195 feet of Lake Charlevoix waterfront, with a dock leading out to the water. The property is parallel to a landscaped stream, which complements the home’s outdoor fireplace and pavilion. Inside, you’ll find a spate of features that would normally be found in a full-time residence: think a state-of-the-art home theater, a wine cellar and a bar. Of course, the best amenity is the lake itself—and here, you’re right on the beach.

Massachusetts — Woodland Manor, $33 Million

Woodland Manor looks about as classic as it gets. Located just five miles outside of Boston in the ritzy village of Chestnut Hill, it’s a sprawling 27,000-square-foot home that sits on over seven acres of land. The limestone façade and Georgian architectural features give the home a stately look, an aesthetic that fills the bright interiors, too. Most notable is the gorgeous wrap-around staircase in the entryway, which, with its brass handrail and oversized rotunda, looks as though it was made for royalty. That’s likely not too far off from the design inspiration, as the neighborhood was once home to football royalty, at least: The home is a hop, skip and a jump from Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen’s old place, which was last listed for $39 million.

Maryland — Westover, $17.5 Million

Maryland’s most expensive home, a $17.5 million listing that’s also known as Westover, is enviable not just for its 11,500 square feet of living space, but for its location as well. The mansion overlooks the Potomac River and has large windows that afford spectacular views of the natural waterway. And, because it’s in Bethesda, it’s the ideal location for those who commute or want to pop into Washington D.C. every now and then—without having to actually live in the city. Inside, the six-bed, 11-bath home looks like a stately manor, with herringbone hardwood floors and a foyer with two grand staircases sweeping up either side. Amenities include a spacious gym, a billiards room and, of course, a wine cellar.

Most Expensive Home in Maine

Maine — Eastern Watch, $8.4 Million

This $8.4 million home is a classic New England cottage with a clifftop view of Maine’s Frenchman Bay. From the four-bedroom main house’s perch 100 feet above the ocean on Sols Cliff, you can see as far as the Porcupine Islands and Egg Rock Light, a lighthouse that was built in 1875 that remains active to this day. The home was originally built in 1995 but got a remodel in 2006. Today, its living area features soaring, three-story ceilings that are reminiscent of a cathedral. As a bonus, adjacent to the three-acre parcel is Acadia National Park, which has great hiking trails and diverse wildlife.

Louisiana — Highland Road, $14 Million

This Highland Road listing sits on one of Baton Rouge’s historic streets, but its design is anything but traditionally Southern. It was built in a Mediterranean style in 2006 and sits on a similarly grand 12.5 acre parcel of land, surrounded by oak trees. The main home, which is about 25,000 square feet and has five bedrooms, is magnificent, but it’s just one of many residences on the property. There’s also a 4,800-square-foot guest house and a nearly 1,500-square-foot cabana. There are two pools on the grounds, as well as three separate three-car garages. The home last changed hand in 2016, when its current owners purchased it for $6 million, down from the initial asking of $18 million.
