The 10 most expensive Detroit-area mansions for sale right now

The upper class lives very differently than most of us, especially when it comes to the size of their homes. These mansions often come with price tags in the millions and more features than most could ever need. What do rich people even do with all of that space?

Still, these properties often boast stunning architecture, intricate details, and expansive, meticulously maintained grounds with large pools and sporting courts. Some are beautiful, while others... not so much. Whether it’s outdated design or too new that it’s creepy, pursuing expensive mansions can be intriguing.

If you can afford one, and even more so if you never could, people find themselves irresistibly drawn to them. So, we’ve compiled a list of the 10 most expensive houses currently on the market in metro Detroit. Most of them are in the cities you’d think and not actually in Detroit, but they’re not very far either. We’ve arranged them from the least to the most expensive, so you’ll need to scroll through to the very end to witness the opulence of the final listing. Trust us, it’s spectacular and definitely worth the journey.

Have fun!
