Some Enchanted Mansion

It’s not that hard to sell a home in the Tampa Bay area, if the price is right. Last month, a 13,000-square-foot mansion sold for $10.25 million.

In exclusive Snell Isle, Windstar Homes built two houses to sell on speculation. The first, which hooked a buyer before it was even finished, sold for $4.75 million in November. The one next door has been on the market since December. It’s priced at $4.8 million.

La Casa Encanto, it’s called – The House of Enchantment. The Spanish-style home on Brightwaters Boulevard is 6,000 square feet, with an elevator, three bedrooms, six bathrooms, a separate guest casita bed and bath, and a central courtyard. The deep-water dock out back can accommodate a 65-foot yacht.

Though despairing stories about the dismal housing market have become the norm, you’ll notice they’re about $200,000, $300,000 or half-million-dollar homes.
