If you were casually browsing all the incredible homes for sale in the area over the weekend, you may have thought it was a typo when you came across the whopping price tage for this mansion - but no, it really is on the market for a jaw-dropping £36.5 million.
"Palatial" is the word estate agents are using to describe the new 11-bed Riverside Manor, on the banks of the Thames in Ferry Lane, Bourne End - and they're not wrong.
If you regularly drive along Ferry Lane, you'll probably recognise the front entrance, with the quirky metal sign on the brick wall - and if you've ever walked past, you may have tried to sneak a look at what lies beyond the railings.
Well, wonder no more, as after years of building work and seemingly endless planning applications, it is finally on the market.
Riverside Manor boasts a ballroom where up to 230 people can party the night away, along with a home cinema, indoor pool and spa complex, tennis court, two staff apartments, guest house and a boat house with a first floor guest apartment.
The new 33,374 sq ft house was designed by renowned architects EPR in London with the assistance of William Bertram in Bath and sits in 4.5 acres.
The main entrance hall has two dramatic sweeping staircases to the first floor and a service lift to all three floors.
Off the hall is a modern kitchen, separate family/breakfast room, dining room, study, sitting room, drawing room and a spectacular river room with views of the Thames - all connected by a wrap-around terrace perfect for entertaining.
The master bedroom suite has a sitting room with a private balcony and his and hers bathroom suites with dressing rooms.
There are six more bedroom suites on this floor all with views of the river or the gardens.
Linked to the house by a glazed bridge is the pool and spa complex with a sauna, spa bath, indoor pool, gym and treatment room.
There are also two staff cottages, a "charming" guest pavilion near the tennis court and a guest apartment above the boat house.
