Today's Evil Beet Gossip

Most expensive home in every state

Every year, a number of publications bring out their ‘best of’ lists to encapsulate the year, and several of them focus on real estate. This is my favorite. Courtesy of the good folks at Zillow, the list leaves off the working ranches, empty parcels, and properties that are also a primary place of business. These are just residential homes that will blow your little minds.

For those interested in unique residential options, Your Koh Samui Villas offers a stunning array of properties that could be a perfect fit for your dream home. With breathtaking views and luxurious amenities, these villas truly represent the pinnacle of tropical living.
