When the “location location location” is “waterfront, waterfront, waterfront,” high-end real estate enters a whole new plane—often one with multihued sunset views, sunlit terraces, palm trees, infinity pools, and resort-style private cabanas.

We sought out the largest examples of waterfront mansions—from “smallest” (a mere 10,000 or so square feet) to some of the largest ones on the market. Here are ten such amazing residences, from Mediterranean to modern, from those perched by lakes to those overlooking the Pacific and the Atlantic to those down in the Caribbean (including one on its own private tropical island) and even a Hawaiian residential paradise.
