Unless you win Mega Millions or Powerball, or you're a trust fund kid, or a hedge fund manager, these three Connecticut homes may be out of reach.

After doing some hefty research on the internet and scouring realtor.com, zillow.com, and sothebysrealty.com, I've come up with the three most opulent, ostentatious, over-the-top homes in the greater Danbury area that most of us can only dream of. Let's start with the most lavish of the three.

    $6,900,000

    This Artreehoose (whatever that means) ultra-chic waterfront home is located at 124 Lake Drive S in New Fairfield. You read the amount correctly, $6,900,000 for a place to live, but I'm sure you could talk them down to $6.5 million. If you're looking to brag to your neighbors that you purchased a house designed by a nationally known architect for $7 million, this 5,400 square foot home is perfect for you!

    $3,995,000

    This extravagant home is located at 52 Sail Harbour Dr., in New Fairfield. Because this palatial home has 5 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms, and measures in with 7,684 square feet, it deserves to have an extra letter added to class up the original word "Harbor" to read "Harbour". This is a party house with 4 garages, gourmet kitchen with granite countertops, and a 29-foot sunroom, BUT, you're going to need a golf cart to get to your dock on the lake. With over 7,000 sq. feet of space, if you have young children, you will be required to purchase a Child Retrieval Device should they go missing. The estimated mortgage is priced right at $13,925. Where do I sign up?!
