A home dubbed the ‘most entertaining’ property in the US thanks to its incredible array of wacky amenities has hit the market for a staggering $20 million.
The sprawling home, which is located in Wentzville, just outside St. Louis, Missouri, features a host of quirky features that are sure to entertain even the most hard-to-please residents, from a mini Ferris wheel to an indoor basketball court, and even a two-story library.
Sitting on 20 acres of land, the 15,638 sq ft home is billed by real estate agents as having an ‘English County Estate’ feel, with an online listing describing the property as being perfect for large, multigenerational families thanks to its large size and multi-bedroom set-up.
Inside, the house boasts seven bedrooms, 13 bathrooms, a conference room, a games room, and even a two-lane bowling alley – but it is the backyard where the property really makes its mark.

The outdoor resort-style pool is large enough for multiple people to swim around in, and it also comes complete with a lazy river, a swim-up bar, two water slides, a grotto, and a waterfall.
And if the pool proves too cool, the large hot tub should suffice to keep any future residents content.
For anyone who wants to remain out of the water, the two-story pagoda that overlooks the water serves as the perfect people-watching spot.
Elsewhere in the mansion’s grounds, there are large stables that can house several horses – and equestrian enthusiasts will also get the run of a riding ring and paddocks where the animals can be ridden and trained.
According to Fox 2 Now, the stables were ‘fashioned after The Clydesdale Facility at Busch Gardens’ – helping to add to the property’s theme park-esque feel.
Should all the dedicated riding facilities prove to be too limited a space however, there is an option to increase the property’s 20-acre estate to 130 acres with the additional purchase of extra land that sits alongside the sprawling mansion, according to the real estate brokers.
