Versailles house - wikipedia Versailles house Status of construction in February 2016 Versailles is a 90,000 square - foot house belonging to Westgate Resorts founder David Siegel and his wife Jackie Siegel -- and under construction at 6121 Kirkstone Lane, Windermere, Florida, in the gated community of Lake Butler Sound in Orange County. USA. Named and modeled after the Palace of Versailles in France, the completed project will be one of the largest single - family homes in the United States. Construction began in 2004 and stalled in 2009 when 60 % completed as Siegel 's company encountered financial difficulties. The house was susbsequently listed for sale at $65 million. With Westgate Resorts ' improved finances as of 2013, Siegel now owns the property outright and construction has resumed, with completion scheduled for 2016. Expected to appraise at over $100 million, the project will be the fourth most expensive house in the United States. Designed as the primary residence of the Siegels and their children, the home and its owners were the subject of the 2012 documentary film The Queen of Versailles as well as an episode of CNBC 's Secret Lives of the Super Rich.
