One of Miami's finest mansions is having a tough time selling.

The historical estate, known as La Brisa, hit the market in October 2014 for $65 million, making it the most expensive home for sale in Miami-Dade County at the time.

Now, after nearly a year on the market, the owners have discounted the home to $55 million, The Real Deal Miami reports.

The Coconut Grove home has a 13,800-square-foot residence and two-bedroom guest house on 6.9 acres of land.

The nine-bedroom residence also has picturesque views of Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, over 3,000 square feet of outdoor living space, a pool, a spa, and a private port that can accommodate a 70-foot yacht.

The mansion, whose current owner is unknown, has been owned in the past by Kirk Munroe, an author of children’s novels and books about Florida, and Henry Field, a grand-nephew of the founder of the Marshall Field’s department store chain.

Before Silicon Valley was ever known as such, there were plenty of billionaires and multi-millionaires building extravagant, hill-top homes.

One such mansion was built by the de Guignés, a family of French nobility who emigrated in the 19th century and enmeshed themselves with San Francisco's elite.

Seventy-eight-year-old heir Christian de Guigné IV is now trying to sell his family's Gilded Age estate — called de Guigné Court — which hasn't changed hands in 150 years. This will be his second attempt at offloading the property, which has been cut from $100 million to $40 million and no longer includes a condition that granted de Guigné "lifelong use" of the home.

The Gucci sisters — daughters of the late Maurizio Gucci, the slain Gucci fashion house heir— are moving out of their Fifth Avenue abode. 

The sisters came into the penthouse after their stepmother, Patrizia Reggiani, ordered a successful hit on Maurizio. Reggiani was sentenced to 29 years in prison by an Italian court. The sisters are reportedly selling the penthouse because they spend the bulk of their time in Europe, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Rumors swirled this week that pop star Taylor Swift was purchasing her very own Scottish castle to be closer to the family home of her DJ boyfriend, Calvin Harris. 

She has since denied the rumor with this tweet:

Called "Tower of Lethendy," the historic castle is nestled in the hills — just one hour's drive from Edinburgh, Scotland, where Harris' parents live.

Despite the fact that Taylor is not buying the castle, the publicity she's given the $7.2 million estate is probably music to the listing agent's ears.

A mansion in Georgia's affluent Buckhead neighborhood has a fun secret hidden inside the depths of its nearly 17,000 square feet. Plenty of real estate agents claim the houses in their listings are "built for entertaining," but this one actually is.

Instead of a boring foyer, the inside of the mansion has what Curbed dubbed"an indoor party zone." 

Complete with a glass ceiling, pool, and hot tub, the atrium-like room has everything you could possibly need to throw a house party for the ages — including a Sphinx-like statue and a pool-side bar.

Overlooking the atrium are multiple staircases and many feet of open and balconied hallways leading to the mansion's six bedrooms and 10 bathrooms.

Aside from the mansion's "party zone" claim to fame, it has three front doors, a gated driveway, and a movie theater. You can see more photos and specs for the $2.9 million listing at Zillow.com.

Real estate mogul and "Shark Tank" star Barbara Corcoran is reportedly on the hunt for a private island. 

Corcoran is said to be eyeing Tavern Island, a $10.99 million private estate off the coast of Rowayton, Connecticut.

The 3.5 acre island is appointed with an English Country Colonial main residence with six bedrooms and 360-degree views of the water.

First colonized by the English in 1651, the island previously served as a landmark for harbor pilots.

The name Tavern Island emerged after captains and crew members used the island as a drinking spot following a journey at sea. 

The 6,116-square-foot main home features a stone fireplace, two offices, an exercise room, and a steam room. Private Islands Magazine says the stone and construction materials used for the interior and exterior were brought over on frozen waters via oxcart. 

There's also a two-bedroom guest cottage that dates back to the 1700s, a boat house with a large game room, and a tea house with a private meeting room. 

As for amenities, the island boasts its own private beach, a 75-foot swimming pool overlooking the sea, and a fire pit.

Back in the 1950s and '60s, showman Billy Rose owned the island, which he used to host extravagant parties attended by stars like Marilyn Monroe, Maureen O'Sullivan, and Barbra Streisand. 

Before that, screenwriter Lillian Hellman is said to have rented the guest cottage.

Back in April, the New York Post reported that Corcoran had added a $10 million penthouse to her slew of properties. A private island would make for a nice getaway when she tires of high-rise living.  

Rick Higgens of Higgins Group Real Estate holds the listing.
