Any person who owns a car looks for at least one decent parking place when shopping for a new CRIB. This one isn’t for the regular car-owner, though.

This is a home of the “you’ve just died and gone to car heaven”-type. It’s a sprawling and incredibly striking home Mansion in Paradise Valley, Arizona, currently on the market for $13 million, give or take a few cents.

Listing agent Robert J Hassett with Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty calls this a Timeless Classic Elegant Masterpiece and one of the finest estates in Paradise Valley!  I dub this the “the ultimate dream car garage” and a regular “car haven,”. The property at Martingale Farms in Paradise Valley, Arizona, is the equivalent of real estate insanity, but in the best way possible. Built in 1958 and covering a total of 16,083  square feet, built in 1958 and covering a total of 193,673 square feet (almost 5 acres), the property includes…

16,000 square feet comprising 6 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms. Some of the interior luxury amenities include; formal living and dining rooms, family style great room and open chef’s kitchen, stately office/library, private bar, wine cellar, media room, large master suite with fireplace, his and hers separate bathrooms & expansive walk-in closets, exercise room, specific pets room and much more. Outside luxury amenities include; sick sparkling pool, tranquil green lawns, lovely pond with water feature and a detached guest house. In addition, the avid car collector will enjoy the auto courtyard with lounge, various sized garages and state of the art show rooms for the perfect display of the ultimate collection. A true opportunity to acquire one of the top trophy estates in Paradise Valley, AZ.

I have seen mansions with extensive garages before, but this mansion is a first – not in that it’s the most expensive (it’s not) or has the biggest surface (it doesn’t), but in the fact that it’s so clearly a labor of love. Whoever built this has a passion for cars and this is obvious from the two annexes that double as impressive “man caves,” but also from the astounding collection of automotive. Again, mansions with large garages are not uncommon. But a piece of real estate that’s so delightfully insane as this Paradise Valley mansion is rare.

Asking price: $12,950,000
