Inside a $29m California mansion no one has ever lived in

Maison de Campagne, a manor in Rancho Santa Fe, CA, is up for sale, according to a report by Realtor.com.

No one has lived in this 10,363-square-foot home, and now it is listed for $29 million.Bringing countryside charm to CaliforniaBarbara Lee Grigsby, the current owner and designer of the property, assembled a team of master artisans and sourced materials from across the world.
