  • The One Bel Air is a 105,000-square-foot megamansion said to be the biggest modern home in the US.
  • It was once marketed for $500 million but now has a $225 million asking price, the LA Times reports.
  • It reportedly has 21 bedrooms, 42 bathrooms, a 10,000-bottle wine cellar, a nightclub, and more.

A sprawling megamansion in Los Angeles is believed to be the biggest modern home in the US.

Known as The One Bel Air, the property comes from film producer-turned-real estate developer Nile Niami, who initially hoped to sell it for a whopping $500 million, which would have made it one of the most expensive homes in the world.

It comes with 21 bedrooms and 42 bathrooms, according to Architectural Digest. It also sports amenities like a 10,000-bottle wine cellar, a 50-car garage, 50-person movie theater, nightclub, cigar room, sky deck, putting green, salon, bowling alley, and more, according to The Los Angeles Times.

After its owner defaulted on more than $100 million in loans and debt, The One is now in a court-ordered receivership. The mansion's initial asking price has been halved, and it's now selling for $225 million, the LA Times reports.

Here's a look inside the enormous mansion:
