Seven The Pinnacle (Montana, USA)
The cabin-style home is one of the most beautiful home I have ever seen before! This home is located in Big Sky, Montana and is considered the largest property within the Yellowstone Club community. This entire home is filled with heated flooring, a gym, several pools, and even a ski lift! It is valued at $155 million dollars, but with some negative troubles that have happened recently, its safe to say the value has gone down some.
