You might need to look under more than just your couch cushions to buy this home. Lucky for you, it’s no longer on the market, but it’s too bad it’s still not available. I need something to daydream about.

French-Inspired Luxury Inside the Windsor House
Inside the Windsor House, you’ll find:

- 223 feet of private beachfront with a boathouse and boardwalk
- Botanical garden, custom fountain, heated motorcourt, infinity pool, and pergola.
