But now to the question: “What does $10 million by?” Das Online-Magazin Luxury Defined von Christies International Real Estate schreibt dazu: “Does the big city call? Consider the City of Angels, Los Angeles, where that grand sum, or thereabouts, buys a very grand whereabouts: a contemporary mansion in the A-listers enclave of Pacific Palisades. Does the dream call for an island escape? Then it waits in a “sea-to-sea” oceanfront idyll in The Bahamas’ Abaco archipelago. Perhaps paradise whispers from the woods of the Great White North, Canada, where an ode to Frank Lloyd Wright’s organic architecture beckons. Or off the beaten path, in a 15th-century silk farm on 988 acres in France’s Rhône Valley?”
Here are 5 examples of properties you can buy for 10 million dollars. You can find the detailed descriptions in the Luxury Defined article linked here.

Former Silk Farm in Uzès, Gard, France
Dating from the 15th century, this private 988-acre domain in France’s Ardèche region has its roots in the silk trade. This former silk farm offers peace and privacy surrounded by a Natura 2000 classified reserve in the Ardèche department of southeastern France.

Ipeak House in Caledon, Ontario, Canada
In the ethos of Frank Lloyd Wright’s organic architecture, this forest retreat in the Caledon countryside embraces the landscape that surrounds it. Kariouk Architects designed the long, tent-angled steel roof to shape the interior volumes toward a view of the forest. The asymmetric, steel frame construction, clad in slate, echoes the rock outcrops on the grounds.

Sublime creature comforts await in this contemporary dream house in Los Angeles’ coveted coastal enclave of Pacific Palisades. This five-bedroom contemporary home embraces a slope in the Rustic Canyon neighborhood of Pacific Palisades, California, with a nostalgic love of mid-century modernist forms in a rigorous 21st century design and use of sustainable materials.
