This California Mansion Is as Ornate as a Fabergé Egg

While California is often the land of breezy bohemian style, this mesmerizing mansion in Newport Beach is as far from that as you can get. It's filled with 14,500-square-feet of some of the most lavish and elaborate design we've ever seen (and that's saying a lot). The very appropriately named Villa Fabergé is on the market for $10 million and certainly doesn't lack in conversation starters.

Don't believe us? The grand two-story entryway sets the tone from the moment you walk inside and it's followed by a formal living room and dining salon that are covered in masterly-crafted marble, stone, and wood detailing (by designer Francois Bardol). Not to mention whoever did the painting in this home probably spent more time on it than Michelangelo did on the Sistine Chapel — seriously there are so many ceilings, walls, and even kitchen cabinets covered in artwork.

This home is also any entertainer's dream space: If you have a bunch of wine-loving friends, invite them over for a glass in you subterranean wine cellar that's next to a tasting lounge and a full catering kitchen. During the sweltering summer perhaps the private pool will come in handy for the neighborhood kids, while the parents chill out in the spa. And any golf buddies will love that your backyard is located on the 18th tee of the exclusive Big Canyon golf course — no big deal.
