Just when I thought the building of “Mega Mansions” has slowed down, I stumbled upon this article. A wealthy couple is building the “Taj Mahal” of Australia in a ritzy section of Perth.

Here is an excerpt from the article:

Perth’s Taj-on-Swan mega-mansion will be a tourist drawcard for WA when complete, with tour operators set to add the massive Peppermint Grove pad to their itineraries.

“When Rose and Lang had their house it was on a lot of itineraries, so this one will be too,” Mr Moss said.

“The residents probably won’t be too happy, but at the end of the day it’s a tourist attraction.”

The house is being built by WA billionaires Pankaj and Radhika Oswal, who are originally from New Delhi, on a block 12 times bigger than average.

Western suburbs real estate agent William Porteous said the Oswals’ home will be the most expensive in the country when finished.

“It’s said to be worth around $70 million, but you never know until you sell it,” he said.

The Oswals’ house, which has been a hive of activity this year, is two years away from completion. It is set to be the biggest in the country on the most expensive block, which is alone worth $22.7 million.

The house will have a gymnasium the size of a regular Perth house, a beauty salon and an observatory.

A L Builders started constructing the sprawling mansion, costing $23 million, in mid 2008. The home is now valued at $33 million. The land was bought for $9.4 million back in 2005. The 30,000+ square foot mega mansion is located on The Sovereign Islands in Queensland. Plans shows the super mansion also has a guest wing, a library on two levels, a gym overlooking the ocean, a steam room, spa, plunge pool, indoor garden, theatre, two offices, billiards room opening out to uninterrupted ocean views, a 30m pool, wine cellar and a basement carpark the size of a small shopping centre parking lot. The kitchen, which also opens to an outdoor dining-entertaining area on the ocean front, is the size of a small house. Upstairs, children’s bedrooms take up one wing while the master bedroom sprawls across the other wing and out onto a balcony. The ensuite — larger than most average-sized rooms — will have ‘his and her’ showers and a huge bathtub with ocean views. (sigh) If only this home was being built in my neighborhood!!!
