Now we all love having a nosey around houses for sale in Leeds- but this one could have us scrolling for hours.
Located in Scarcroft on Thorner Lane, this eight bedroom, six bathroom freehold mansion is officially the most expensive properties on the market right now, according to Rightmove.
A fine Georgian manor house with gorgeous rural views, this is as good as it gets when it comes to country homes- and with 60 acres attached to the property, it’s the ideal investment for a long-term buyer.
The home itself is set across 15,000 square feet with a host of formal and informal reception rooms, two wine cellars, a basement entertainment space with modern bar, cinema, music room and billiards room, six sizeable bedrooms and a further two located in the guest wing. There’s also a stunning leisure wing with jacuzzi, gym and indoor swimming pool, as well as an outdoor tennis court.
But don't just take our word for it, here's an idea of what you'd be getting for six and a half million quid.
The exterior of the property is true to the Georgian style, and spanning across 15,000 square feet.
The indoor swimming pool has a glass ceiling view that floods the space with natural light.
The wine cellars are particularly impressive, with the estate agents pointing out that this has been undoubtably commissioned by the original owner, who is a 'renowned Wine and Spirits Merchant'.
The dedicated cinema space is just one of the relaxing areas of the property, there is also a dedicated music room, amongst other living spaces.
The rooms of the house are neutrally coloured with fine furnishings and finishes that beautifully match the traditional style with modern conveniences.
The garden space is adorned with green details, water features and hidden walks.
The property comes with a whopping 60 acres of land.
Listed with Savills Estate Agents, this property comes with a guide price of £6,500,000 and those interested should contact the registered agent for more information about the sale of the property.
More details about the property can also be found on the original Rightmove listing here.

Reverend and the Makers frontman Jon McClure becomes chairman of Sheffield FC
Reverend and the Makers frontman Jon McClure has officially been confirmed as the new chairman of the oldest football team in the world, Sheffield FC.
He might be a die-hard Wednesday fan, but given the turbulence his lifelong club have been through over the past couple of years, maybe this is the start of a new love affair.
Sheffield FC had teased that important news was coming soon earlier this month, simply writing on socials: "Not long until we can tell all. We’ve been sitting on something big."
As it turns out, the news is that one of the Steel City's most famous and beloved sons is now part of the club's new ownership structure. McClure quickly took to social media to help join in with the announcement as well.
The veteran indie frontman and Day Fever co-founder has continued to branch out from solely music-related ventures, having gone into business not only with multiple names for the smash hit afternoon-into-early evening music festival, but also joining forces with a fellow Sheffielder.
Since November of last year, Jon's has often appeared alongside his brother Chris, who plays the comedy character of 'Steve Bracknall' on the Game's Gone podcast.
A bit like Yorkshire's answer to Alan Partridge, there remains a sporting throughline in pretty much all of the 44-year-old's career at the moment - now so more than ever.
Speaking online, McClure said: "What am I doing at the world’s oldest football club, you ask? Well, meet the new chairman of Sheffield FC.
"Our vision is that we honour the club’s roots and pay homage to its incredible history, whilst restoring it to its former glory." He's already been making his presence known around their home ground.

While some are still looking for updates on the plans to bring the historic outfit back closer to Sheffield proper - the non-league club currently playing at The Home of Football Stadium in Dronfield, Derbyshire - this fresh start for the now oft-neglected native minnows has still sparked some excitement.
At present, 'The Ancients' are in the process of developing a new 5,000-seater arena at the old Sheffield Transport Sports Club site in Meadowhead, which was initially slated to open this year.
But as for the musician, he went on to add that "There’s a lot to be done, but we’re ready to get stuck in and give Sheffield FC the love it deserves"; McClure and co. have dubbed this "a new chapter" for "the first in the world", and the update will no doubt bring some fresh hope to the organisation.
What do you make of the announcement, and is a local figure like Reverend and the Makers' Jon McClure the right person to help take over this community cornerstone and national institution?

Independent Nordic-inspired homeware shop closes Leeds store after six years
Clementine Hall
After six years in the city, independent homeware retailer North Home is closing its Leeds city centre shop.
If you're a lover of all things home then you'll have most likely visited the gorgeous North Home shop in the Victoria Quarter.
Stacked to the brim with unique pieces from striking ceramics to stylish soft furnishings, North Home is known for its well-curated stock and great customer service.
Seriously, we've probably spent a good hour in here in awe of all the beautiful pieces.

Last week, curious shoppers noticed the three-storey store was suddenly empty and now the company have confirmed that they have closed for good.
In a statement, they said: "After nearly 6 wonderful years trading in Leeds, we’ve made the difficult decision to close our physical store while we restructure the business and explore the next chapter for North Home.
"Retail has changed significantly in recent years and, like many independent businesses, we’ve faced increasing costs.

"Taking this step now gives us the opportunity to protect what we’ve built and focus on the future of the brand. North Home continues to operate online and all existing customer orders will be fulfilled as normal although delivery times may be slightly extended.
"We’ve loved being part of the Leeds retail community since 2020 and are incredibly grateful for the support we’ve received. We hope to share more about our plans soon."
We'll be sad to see them go and we hope this isn't goodbye forever, but you can still shop from North Home online here.
