In a sign that the housing market is improving, more lavish mansions are entering the market with jaw-dropping asking prices.
First there was the $190million estate in Connecticut, and now the West Coast is adding their own record-breaking listing to the housing market.?
Coldwell Banker recently listed the house at 2585 Riviera Drive in Laguna Beach, California for $65million dollars.?
According to the Orange County Register, it is the fourth most expensive residence to appear in their listing service in their records that go back more than a decade.
Currently it is the second most expensive home in the entire state of California, according to Zillow. It is also estimated to be the largest oceanfront home in the area.

The home's huge size and unique details explain the hefty price tag.
First there's the massive 17,00 square feet of living space and 6,000 square feet of outdoor living space. There are five bedrooms with eight bathrooms and a six-car garage for the vintage collector.
Massive: The house has 6,000 feet of outdoor living space perfect for warm-weather entertaining, in addition to the 17,000 feet of indoor living space
Perfect for kids: The house was built with children in mind with the outdoor pool and hot tub, and a billiards/ping-pong room
The master bedroom has his-and-hers closets and bathrooms - with extra space for the women's closet accessed by an elevator down to the basement.
The house looks like it was moved straight off a seaside cliff in Italy and moved to the Pacific coast. It was built in the neoclassical style with details such as towering glass doors and terrazzo floors that ooze wealth.?
Seaside living: The home has spectacular views of the ocean, and is estimated to be the largest oceanfront home in the area
Palatial: The house's hallways probably provide enough space for a good walk
Extra space: The master bedroom includes his-and-hers bathrooms and closets. One of the closets has extra space in the basement accessed via elevator
Airy: The house's doors utilize glass to let as much light in as possible
A place to relax: Just one of the house's 10 bathrooms
Giada DiLaurentis would be right at home in the commercial-caliber kitchen space with it's expansive Italian Carrera marble counter tops and Bonnet range suite.
There's room for banquet dining and even chef's quarters for those who would rather be cooked for, than do the cooking.
Other amenities include a wine cellar with a tasting room, outdoor pool and hot tub, a billiards/ping-pong room and a full gym with massage room.
If friends are drunk from drinking in the wine room, you can offer to have them stay over in the detached guest house modeled after the Philip Glass House in Connecticut.??

Built in 2010, the home was originally owned by the Irvine family until 2002. The current owner is Ronald K. Loder, according to county records.
?
The sale is being handled by realtor Rod Daley of Coldwell Bankers International, who offered the house as a 'pocket listing' at first - only advertising it to a small network of the uber-wealthy.
Looking to expand the audience of buyers, Daley publicized the listing earlier this summer.
In his 40 years in the high-end real estate business, Daley has never seen this house's equal.
'I have never seen any house of finer quality,' he told the Orange County Register. 'This is really special.'
