Named Villa Bellagio after the world-famous Las Vegas hotel it was inspired by, this 13-bedroom, 16-bathroom home stands on an enormous hillside plot with panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea.
The mansion is located in Sierra Blanca – Marbella's most highly prized gated community – and offers perfect privacy and security to protect an auto enthusiast's prized collection from prying eyes.
With 40,084 square feet (3,724sqm) of living space, the house centres around this show-stopping entryway, beyond which lies the grand salon, which in turn flows into a vast covered terrace – the ultimate setting for throwing sophisticated soirées.
Dinner alone would be a luxurious affair in this home, with a 14-person dining hall, an extraordinary 645-square-foot (60sqm) show kitchen, a high-end service kitchen, and a top-of-the-range outdoor barbecue area.
The lower levels are dedicated to relaxation and fun. After hitting the 22-seat movie theatre, dual-lane bowling alley, and billiards lounge, the new owner can unwind in the spa's hammam, Finnish sauna, gym, massage room, salon, and indoor pool. There's also a sparkling infinity pool with sea views set into the immaculate grounds outside.
However, as far as car fans are concerned, the real gem lies elsewhere...
An air-conditioned museum-quality showroom offers space to display twelve cars, while an additional underground garage can house a further 30!
It's easy to see how the Jesús del Valle-designed villa won the prestigious Premios Macael award for Best Design in 2022, which was personally bestowed by King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia of Spain.
Villa Bellagio was previously put on the market for €70 million (£61.2m/$81.3m) with Engel & Völkers.
Just imagine how many envy-inducing vehicles you could display on this opulent motor court? With engines revving and these Bellagio-style fountains shooting into the air, the Las Vegas lifestyle would come to life in this exclusive corner of Spain.
Without a doubt, the jaw-dropping penthouse atop the 60-storey Porsche Design Tower in Miami is the ultimate skyscraper residence for the ridiculously wealthy car connoisseur.
Spanning four levels, the 20,000-square-foot (1,858sqm) property crowning the planet's first automated drive-in residential high-rise is breathtaking. It was bought in 2017 by car dealer Terry Taylor for £18.8 million ($25m).
A collaboration between Porsche Design and developer Gil Dezer, the tower's major draw is its patented glass-enclosed car lift system dubbed the 'Dezervator'.
An exquisite feat of engineering, the unique drive-in lift whisks residents and their cars from the street directly into a fabulous high-rise sky garage in as little as 75 seconds.
In fact, the penthouse has two sky garages measuring a generous 2,220 square feet (206sqm) with space for 11 vehicles, both enclosed by glass walls so the owner can gaze lovingly at their prized supercar collection from the comfort of their couch.
One resident likens the sky garage and its contents to a private art collection displayed in the living room.
The owner also has access to the building's superlative amenities, which include race-car and golf simulators, a dedicated vehicle concierge service to keep those supercars in tip-top condition, a gourmet restaurant, cinema, beauty salon, and a spa and fitness centre.
In 2013, design magazine Dezeen reported that the building had attracted 22 billionaire buyers before it was even finished, not to mention celebrities such as soccer superstar Lionel Messi, who reportedly bought a home in PDT.
In addition to up to six bedrooms, six-and-a-half bathrooms and those fantastic sky garages, the penthouse has a capacious open-concept living area with 20-foot (6.1m) high ceilings and two summer kitchens, all of which are furnished by Armani/Casa.
If that wasn't enough, there are two sweeping terraces outside, each with its own pool.

Collectors of classic English cars need look no further than this eight-bedroom home in Tilford, near Farnham, Surrey.
Set in 10.5 acres (4ha) of parkland-style gardens, the estate has a large lake, an arboretum with hundreds of trees and a walled orchard. There's also plenty of room to store a few Rolls-Royces...
As we can see from this pristine interior, the period home has been extensively refurbished and is ready for someone to put their stamp on.
The main house centres around this roomy open-plan kitchen, dining and living area. While the layout is perfect for family life, there's also a drawing room, dining room, and study for when everyone needs their own space. Upstairs, there are five bedrooms spread over two floors.
Previously listed on the market via Knight Frank for £5.5 million ($7.3m), you'd expect a few luxurious extras, and a charming workshop like this must be high up on the wish list of any house-hunting car connoisseur.
And there's no need to worry about feeling chilly in an English winter – it's heated by an eco-friendly biomass boiler, as is the house, greenhouse, and an additional three-bedroom cottage.
All in all, there's space for up to 14 cars in garages kitted out with heating and dehumidifiers. The garages have been designed so they can be converted for other uses, including stabling for horses, just in case the next resident doesn't share the current owner's classic car obsession.
After a day spent tinkering under a bonnet, it's time to step things up a gear and head to the oak party barn. With two open fireplaces, integrated speakers, and overhead infrared heaters, it's the perfect spot to host a group of motor-mad friends.
The manicured grounds are maintained with the help of an irrigation system and robotic mowers – there's even a private office for the gardener.
As if this dreamy estate wasn't packed with enough features, it even has full planning for a large leisure complex. Designed to look like a walled garden, the tranquil spa-like space will house an indoor pool, an entertainment room, and changing rooms.
That's enough to get anyone's engine revving!
Just one hour north of Atlanta, Georgia, lies this 446-acre (180ha) estate, nestled on the banks of Walnut Creek.
The 12,000-square-foot (1,115sqm) main house stands at the end of a long, winding drive set in professionally landscaped grounds. Quite aside from the gently flowing creek, the garden is studded with soothing waterfalls, as well as a pond in the middle of a circular drive accessed by a charming covered bridge.
A two-storey vaulted entrance opens into this equally grand great room. With a stone fireplace, wide plank floors, reclaimed wood beams, and enormous windows, it's the perfect blend of elegance and rustic charm.
Elsewhere, there's a formal dining room, a games room, a chef's kitchen, and a butler's pantry. The home's five bedrooms include an impressive master suite complete with a double-sided fireplace and living area, according to TopTenRealEstateDeals.com.
As the homeowner will need considerable help maintaining these sprawling grounds, there are three separate caretaker homes, plus paddocks with equestrian fencing and a six-acre (2ha) lake for fishing and waterfowl hunting.
However, while the house and its extras are undoubtedly impressive, the jewel of this estate has got to be this 40,000-square-foot (3,716sqm) car showroom, which can house up to 70 cars.
Inside, there's space to house one of the world’s largest classic car collections – and more than a hint of fun.
Stepping into the car barn is like stepping back in time, surrounded by vintage cars, mock storefronts, a gas station, and a 1900s-style saloon. There's also a huge movie theatre, which has its very own ticket booth.
The owner can take guests up to the second level to look out over the sea of cars below, before relaxing in a large entertainment area.
While this building is clearly a car-lovers paradise, it used to be an equestrian centre and could be converted back again for those who prefer horses to horsepower.
Former rally driver Michel Pont was bitten by the collecting bug in 1965, when he bought an Abarth racing car on credit. He competed in hill climbs until 1972, racking up an impressive 168 cups and setting himself up for a lifelong obsession with Abarth racers – and all manner of extraordinary vehicles.
He bought the beautiful Château de Savigny-lès-Beaune in 1979 and filled it with cars – and much, much more...
While some remnants of the original 1340 château remain, this version of the castle was built in 1635 and served as a family home for centuries, as we can see from this grandly proportioned yet welcoming room.
However, as Michel Pont's obsession for collecting grew, his home, despite its size, was slowly taken up by his horde of motoring treasures.
Over the decades, Michael filled every spare space with his beloved vehicles. Today, seven museums are packed into the castle, its outbuildings and grounds. They cover aeronautics, motorcycles, fire engines, aerospace, models, farming equipment, and – of course – Abarth racing cars.
Around 30 different Abarth models currently reside at the château – many of which were raced by Michel Pont himself.
This beautiful gallery room would once have housed portraits of famous ancestors, but today it's filled with some of the almost 250 motorbikes that make up Pont's collection.
Dating from 1902 to 1960, the collection contains the bikes of French heroes such as aviator Jean Mermoz, motorcycle racer G. Monneret and World War II resistance fighter Canon Félix Kir.
The chateau's gardens are home to 110 fighter jets, including Russian MiGs, British Jaguars, and French Mirages. While they're not legally allowed to fly over French airspace and presumably had to be towed into place, this impressive spectacle is officially the world's largest private collection, according to the Guinness Book of World Records.
Since Michael Pont's death in 2021, Château de Savigny-lès-Beaune has become a picturesque wedding and events venue, as well as a fascinating motor museum.
Built in 1902, this historic brick loft is a live-work space, a popular filming location, an art gallery, and home to an incredible car collection.
Known as The Magnus Walker Warehouse, the 25,500-square-foot (2,369sqm) property was bought by the British-American fashion designer and auto enthusiast Magnus Walker in 2020.
Standing in the heart of Downtown LA's trendy Arts District, the building's 11,200-square-foot (1,040sqm) upper level has three bedrooms. It's decked out in Walker’s bohemian style, made famous by his brand Serious Clothing, which has been worn by Gwen Stefani and Madonna, among many others.
He describes the look as "a mini Hearst Castle/English stately home mixed with midcentury modernism and 1960/70s furniture pieces", according to Robb Report.
Downstairs lies Walker's workshop and his indoor garage, which houses his priceless Porsche collection.
His passion for Porsches began as a child growing up in Sheffield, England. His father took him to the 1977 Earls Court Motor Show in London, where he fell in love with a white Martini turbo 911.
"I knew right away that it was my dream car," he told Porsche.com.
To understand the evolution of the 911, Walker felt he needed a car from every stage of its development, which led him to amass a collection of around 40 Porsches worth up to £6 million ($8m).
The soaring ceilings and exposed brick walls of this extraordinary warehouse home perfectly showcase the vintage collection, which Walker restores himself.
Such is his love for the iconic car that Walker designed a shoe for Nike, celebrating the 1971 Porsche 911 T.
While it's a petrol-head's dream property, it could also be used as a recording studio, production house, or store thanks to its range of features, which include a lush courtyard garden and a rooftop with 360 Downtown views. The unique space was listed for sale via Compass in October 2024 for £15.1 million ($20m), according to TopTenRealEstateDeals.com.
This stunning compound stands at the foot of Yellow Mountain in Big Sky, Montana, on a 20-acre (8ha) estate with 360-degree mountain views.
The custom-designed four-bedroom, five-bathroom home stands at the end of a private driveway in a gated community, providing all the peace and quiet you could wish for.
The 9,000-square-foot (836sqm) home is designed in a contemporary rustic style. This grand yet cosy living room and its massive stone fireplace form the heart of the home, with a wall of windows through which to view the local wildlife, including visiting bears and elk.
Dotted around the estate are a guest house and a caretaker's cottage, as well as a treehouse, a hot tub, and a two-car garage. Naturally, that's not the only garage on the lot...
Hidden underground, there's a jaw-dropping 70-car garage – large enough to display even the most ardent car fan's collection.
There's also a dynamometer, an on-site 1,000 fuel pump, indoor and outdoor car wash stations, an electric car charger, a 150kW generator, and a detached storage building.
The home was previously owned by Tom Gerrard, former Mayor of Manalapan, Florida, and a high-profile car collector and competitor. He had previously owned a nine-bedroom mansion in Manalapan, next to which he built a car garage with space to display dozens of vehicles.
Growing up in Indiana, Gerrard worked as a gas station attendant, which sparked his love of automobiles. So extreme was his passion, specifically for 1950s and 1960s American convertibles, that he likened it to a "disease".
Gerrard moved into his Montana estate full-time to be closer to friends and family before he died in 2020. His characterful home was listed for £9 million ($12m) in 2021 by Engel & Völkers Big Sky, according to TopTenRealEstateDeals.com, and sold later that same year for an undisclosed sum.
Known as La Fin, this glitzy 12-bedroom, 17-bathroom home stands on a two-acre (0.8ha) lot overlooking the sparkling lights of Los Angeles.
At £88.8 million ($118m), this ultra-glam mansion is decked out in some of the most opulent materials available – but it's the gated motor court that signals what this house is really all about...
As you enter the home, you're greeted by walls of glass and a spiral staircase surrounding an eye-catching 44-foot (13m) chandelier made of 55,000 crystals.
As we'll see, it's just one of several extraordinary custom lighting sculptures throughout the house, which is filled with Italian furniture custom-made for La Fin.
The main attraction in this breathtaking 6,000-square-foot (557sqm) entertainment area is unquestionably the six-car automated display elevator that will make the new owner's beloved car collection an integral part of their home.
The 18-foot (5.5m) high ceilings, drinks cellar, sub-zero tasting room, commercial-grade catering facilities, and outdoor lounge area make this the perfect place to party with fellow car-lovers.
Once you've finished admiring your multimillion-dollar collection, you can stroll over to the fitness centre to use the climbing wall, before hitting the spa and steam room – built from back-lit onyx, naturally.
After unwinding in the massage room, you can kick back and watch a movie for motorheads in the soundproof cinema before heading out for a drive.
La Fin is protected by fingerprint technology and a security command centre to ensure your car collection stays safely out of harm's way.
On the upper floors, there's a main living area with a huge, hand-carved stone fireplace and a master suite with a lounge, coffee bar, gold marble bathroom, dual walk-in closets, and a wraparound balcony with a spa, firepit, and TV. The pool area and rooftop deck are also packed with premium features.
La Fin was previously listed with Rayni and Branden Williams of The Beverly Hills Estates for £81.9 million ($108.8m).
