The Versailles-esque mansion of Texas-based billionaire tech entrepreneur and political donor Darwin Deason has floated onto the market for a staggering $108 million. Should the extravagantly appointed San Diego spread sell for anywhere near its sky-high asking price, it will shatter the standing record as the most expensive residential transaction ever recorded in the area. There are 10 bedrooms and a whopping 17 baths in about 13,000 square feet of Timothy Corrigan-designed living space between the main residence and the substantial guesthouse. Other highlights include an ocean-facing mosaic-tiled pool and an elevated beach with the same sand found at Georgia’s Augusta National Golf Club. A sprawling mansion with stately Colonial- and Tudor-style accents in Connecticut’s bucolic New Canaan community is priced at just under $9.2 million. Along with 36-foot ceilings and a hidden staircase between the study and primary bedroom is a stone-walled wine grotto and tasting lounge.
