have a bunch of money to blow and love driving? we can't think of a better way to spend it than on this florida home with its own private racetrack.
built for an rv sales mogul in thonotosassa, a suburb outside tampa, this french provincial–style mansion has eight bedrooms, 26 bathrooms, and two pools. it's built on 36 acres of land and includes a bowling alley, a horse stable, a two-story guest house, a boathouse, an impeccable waterfront view, and a total of 42,782 square feet of under-roof space. but none of that stuff is what has us excited.
also on the property is a separate 11,000-square-foot warehouse that held the previous owner's 80-car collection which, according to the drive, included cars such as a mclaren f1 lm, a ferrari 250lm, and a 1967 plymouth barracuda hemi under glass. it's connected to a real, actual eight-turn paved racetrack that sits right next to the water. if this isn't a dream home, i'm not sure what is.
the home, built in 2012, is currently listed on the smith & associates real-estate website for the low, low price of $17,500,000. if you're in the market, know that taxes for the property in 2018 came out to around $130,000. better move in before another wealthy car enthusiast does.
