I'm Erica Wright and I'm Ray Parisi.
We both produce stories for CNBC on super high-end luxury real estate.
This video has four homes with the most insane pools that you've ever seen
From the wild waterworld Celine Dion built in her backyard,
to a mansion with a haunted waterpark in the back.
and we're gonna start with the spookiest here's number 4
Everything's bigger in Texas even the real estate.
Before we show you what's out back let's take a quick look inside.
This place unfolds over 37,000 square feet
and check this out we found a secret passage hidden behind this bookcase.
it leads to the 2nd level where there's a giant game room
and movie theater
but that's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to entertainment.
The owner also purchased the $6 million dollar mansion next door and connected them.
And turned this whole place into the fun house.
There's a basketball court that can be turned into party central,
check out the DJ booth perched on a glass balcony that overlooks the court.
This party pad also has a virtual reality sports simulator
bowling alley...
another movie theater just for the kids...
and a room full of bunk beds for the ultimate slumber party.
But the fun really goes into hyperdrive in the backyard,
which looks like a full-blown amusement park.
The 750,000 gallon pool has three giant water slides
and to give you the full effect our camera guy strapped on a GoPro and took the plunge.
There's also a zipline that dumps you into the pool,
and water cannons for soaking your buddies.
But this is the absolute craziest part of this waterpark
It's the lazy river which seems relaxing until...
it's totally NOT!
it flows into a grotto where things get creepy,
super creepy it's crawling with mummies, bats and other spooky animatronics...
and if you're wondering how much a haunted water cave and all the wet & wild rides cost...
Well, we asked and the owner said it's soaked him for about $10 million.
How cool would it be to grow up in that house?
Or scary!
(spooky laughter)
This next house is not scary at all
it belonged to Celine Dion it's got one of the biggest pools you've ever seen.
Here's CNBC's Robert Frank with house number 3:
It's a home like no other we've ever been invited to
Welcome to Celine Dion's jaw-dropping estate
on Jupiter Island, one of the most exclusive communities not just Florida
but on the entire planet.
You really are in your own world when you come through the gates here.
The Diva's secluded mansion has 486 ft of unspoiled beachfront,
but the epic view of the Atlantic is just the beginning
Celine built her own private ocean in the backyard
Much of the almost 6-acre compound is an aquatic paradise.
It's a 460,000 gallon dream come true for kids
that includes a Titanic-sized private waterpark.
With 2 slides that spill into a flowing river.
Those are water cannons up and down so you can be bombarded as you float down the lazy river.
The currents carry you around Celine's private Waterworld
under several bridges and into 3 perfectly crafted beaches
designed for sand-free sunbathing.
If somebody really wanted their own private waterpark for their kids...
you really couldn't build this again on Jupiter Island could you?
This is not replaceable and not reproducible.
Celine hired super broker Adrian Reid to sell her one-of-a-kind $45.5 million island retreat.
The peace and beauty of it is just hard to match.
And that's no exaggeration...
There's a luxurious pool house, fabulous gazebo for poolside dining...
a tennis court that can also be used for shooting hoops
and an elegant beachfront Cabana for massages
and at the very center of the infinity pool is the property's hottest feature
a firepit lounge built into the pool.
Are these little bars right here?
Swim up bar, sure you can eat lunch or have a drink in the afternoon.
So you could comfortably fit 15 to 20 people on this property
and still not run into each other...
I think you could hide 15 people on this property and never find them.
Inside the 18,000 sq. ft. main house the living room has walls that disappear
to create the ultimate indoor-outdoor entertainment area
Before we tell you how much it sold for it here's a quick price history on Celine's Florida digs:
She originally listed the place for $72.5 million
When no one bit she dropped the price to 45.5 million...
and after our shoot someone finally scooped it up for a fraction of the asking price...
It sold for just $28 million bucks.
That was by far the chicest waterpark I've ever seen, is that a thing?
That's a thing.
OK, this next house has a backyard modeled after a famous luxury resort in the Caribbean.
The backyard Atlantis is number 2:
This fancy 11,000 sq ft mansion in Boca Raton, Florida sits on 6.5 acres
But its wildest feature is out back!
Where the owners built a resort sized private waterpark.
It's got slides...
a lazy river...
and a swim up bar for sipping champagne.
Broker Senada Adzem says her clients spent 2 years
and $2.5 million to build out this 170,000 gallon party pool
My client went to the Atlantis resort in the Bahamas and was truly inspired by what he saw
And so he came back and recreated it
And the Atlantis inspiration is everywhere.
Both properties have water slides that are built on Mayan-style stone structures
surrounded by palm trees with cascading waterfalls.
There's even a koi pond that surrounds the hot tub,
it's inspired by the shark-filled lagoon at the Bahamas resort
The owner actually build this for himself and his family...
he's got 4 children and he wanted them to enjoy full water park at their own home
instead of going back to the Bahamas all the time.
After our shoot the mansion and backyard resort sold for $5.5 million.
That whole set up almost makes me want to move to Boca.
Almost?
But the next house is in Miami and it's one of my favorites...
you can escape from your bedroom in a waterslide
here's number 1:
It makes you sexier, it makes you hotter.
Broker Eloy Carmanante is really into this 19,000 sq ft listing in Miami.
It's just screaming sex...
it also screams over-the-top.
There's a private basketball court,
a million bucks worth of art hanging on the walls
a $300,000 kitchen,
and a wall of sliding glass doors that reveal where the real fun starts...
The epic backyard has a giant pool
and a quarter million dollar waterslide
with its own glass staircase.
That was actually brought in and delivered on a barge
and craned out to the property because it weighed several tons.
Now you can get out of bed and slide from the master bedroom
right into the pool.
That should wake you up!
So you feel like you're diving into the ocean
in the middle of the Caribbean.
and it's just screaming sex!
A buyer heard those screams loud and clear
and scooped it up for $24 million bucks!
So my master bedroom in New York City has a fire escape so this would be a huge upgrade for me
Out of all the houses you've seen which one would you want to live in?
100% hands-down Celine Dion's house.
Me too!
Roommates! Nice!
Speaking of Celine's house we have some crazy outtakes from that shoot...
including this one where I strapped on a GoPro to ride the slide...
(Screams like a girl)
Anyone ever tell you that you scream like a 12 year old girl?
Wow! Nooo you're the first...
and hopefully this next outtake makes everyone forget what you just said.
Wait is that Robert Frank sliding down Celine Dion's waterslide in a suit?
yeah he's trying to... his suit is literally soaking up so much water
that it's slowing him down big-time.
that suits ruined...
And check this out...
I even got the underwater shot of him too
That's the money shot!
And this is cool it's the bouncing view from Celine's backyard trampoline.
You call this work?
Yes and it was very hot that day.
By the way can you see who that is in the lazy river?
OMG is that Robert floating around in a sopping wet suit?
We were looking for any excuse to get in that water.
I got you something it's a bathing suit for by the pool
Great and it matches your shirt.
