The most expensive house in Kansas is on the market for $10.9 million, local news outlet KCTV reports. The sprawling estate, located on 17,000 square feet in the Greater Kansas City area, is known as "The Spirit of Avalon."
The pricey home is spacious, with seven bedroom ad seven bathrooms. It's also filled with luxe amenities, including a commercial-grade kitchen, a library, and a 4-car attached garage. But what really sets the home apart are its more unique features — namely, scuba diving tunnels and a waterfall.
Forbes reports that late natural gas executive and scuba lover Dennis Langley (who once served as the speechwriter for President-elect Joe Biden) and his wife, Lyn, built the house and its various add-ons.
Per Zillow, the home has been on the market since at least September 2019, when it was listed for $11.8 million. The asking price was cut to $10.9 million in July.
Katie Casey and Gary Hosack of Crown Realty currently hold the listing.
