Sitting on 11 acres of land in Longwater, Florida, is a property known as "Lake Meadow Manor," which just hit the market for $5.5 million.

The custom-designed home was built for Publishers Clearing House's billionaire founders, Harold and LuEsther Mertz, by architectural firm HHCP — who are also behind the Orlando Convention Center and EPCOT.

One of the most appealing features is the brightness of the place; there are lots of windows everywhere for sunlight to pour in. And what mansion would be complete without an entire room dedicated to one piano?

The decor is, unsurprisingly, very "rich person" — particularly those glitzy dining rooms and that impressive two-story study. There must be a law somewhere that says billionaires have to have a certain amount of gold-colored stuff in their houses.

There's also nine bedrooms and 11 bathrooms — which is the normal amount of bathrooms, BTW — but the listing understandably doesn't provide a glimpse into all of them.

Outside, there's a pool with a guest house and a man-made private lake that's home to 500 fish, because they've got to make use of that 11 acres somehow.

    The whole property will be ocean soon enough, so the lake isn't really a selling point.

    Instead of it's own mosquito infested swamp, it will have it's own ocean in a few decades.
