Four Unforgettable Properties for Sale in the USA

What makes the ultimate American dream home?

Of course location is important too as well as a sense of style, a taste of history and technology that enhances life.
From blue-blood built estates in Connecticut to Hollywood mansions with history and chic Manhattan addresses that hide palatial spaces here are some of the most expensive and most unique properties up for sale in the US in the last 12 months (most of them still on the market at the time of writing).

Copper Beech Farm went on the market in early 2013 for $190 million, creating the most expensive property listing in US history.  Late in the year the price was cut to $140 making it still the most expensive piece of real estate around.
Price circa $140m
