Timber and real estate baron Tim Blixseth plans to break the record for the world’s most expensive home by building and selling a $155 million, 53,000-square-foot stone and wood mansion at the Yellowstone Club, a members-only residential ski and golf resort near Bozeman, Montana.

The spec home will beat out the $139 million Updown Court home in Windlesham, England, which currently tops the list of the world’s most expensive homes for sale. The most expensive home for sale in the US is an Aspen, Colorado estate, which was recently listed for sale at $135 million by Prince Bandar bin Sultan.

The Blixseth mansion comes with 10 bedrooms, 160 acres, and a private chairlift to take residents to the Yellowstone Club’s private ski slopes.
Construction costs are expected to range between $35 million and $40 million, not including the land, which Blixseth already owns.
