Sometimes I like to pretend I'm rich: I'll speak with a fancy accent while eating my hot dog dinner.

Then there's the actual rich, who'll actually ponder a home listing like this one. A compound in Nantucket is making headlines because it hit the market for $56 million - the sale could set a record. So what do you get for $56 million? First off, a ton of land and shoreline: 3.5 acres to be exact overlooking Nantucket harbor. The Monomoy compound features a 8,850 square foot four bedroom, four-and-a-half bath main house. But if that ain't enough house for ya, don't worry, there are two full guest houses on the property as well.

The listing describes the massive indulgence as "Beyond Comparison... This iconic and storied waterfront compound, "Beam Ends", located in Monomoy; where the view lines are endless. One can enjoy a front row seat to Nantucket Harbor with the sea life of sailboats, fishing boats, paddle boarding and picnic boats dotting the harbor offering the best of what Nantucket has to offer."

Curious what your monthly payments would be on the mortgage? They're estimated to be right around $260,000 per month. I'm not even fancy enough to be writing this article so if you want more info GO HERE AND CHECK OUT THE LISTING.
