Glass House, Sonoma Valley, California
This house, which is in Sonoma Valley and is worth $3.9 million, is only two hours from San Francisco. From nearly every angle of the house, there are breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean. Why not adore it? The house is almost entirely built of glass, so that’s a start, and what about that? It is perched 300 feet above the water on a rocky promontory. Is it all worthwhile? We’ll leave it up to you to decide on that.

House on Middle Sedge Island, New Jersey
On 14.4 acres of land, the mansion on Middle Sedge Island, which is just off the coast of New Jersey in the Atlantic Ocean, has opulent amenities like a heated pool, guest house, bocce court, and more. Unfortunately, all of that luxury came at a cost; Hurricane Sandy in 2012 completely ruined the property, which can only be accessed by boat or helicopter. The cost of the damage prevented its immediate restoration.
