Literature lovers know that Jay Gatsby's mansion was the host of many fabulous, decadent parties with seemingly endless amounts of space and over-the-top features. So when F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel The Great Gatsby was turned into a movie in 2013, set designers drew inspiration from a jaw-dropping 1928 Colonial-style castle in the real-life location of Gatsby's fictional home—Long Island, New York. Now you can purchase the 14,551-square-foot house for $85 million, reports Trulia. There are 18 bedrooms within the residence, plus a hair salon, a wine cellar, and a tasting room. The home sits on 7.7 acres and features incredible outdoor amenities, such as a lazy river, a pool with a slide and multiple swim-up bars, a tennis court, Japanese-English gardens, and koi ponds. For those who are always on the go, there is a two-level garage—complete with hydraulic lift—that fits nine cars, as well as a private pier that can dock a 200-foot yacht. So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
