Break Out the Speedos! See 10 Amazing Indoor Pools

Posted: Updated:

When it comes to over-the-top real estate amenities, having your own yoga studio, football field, or heliport can earn you some pretty serious bragging rights among your friends. Mention "indoor swimming pool" and your friends will love you even more.

Perhaps the image that springs to mind is a warm, enticing space where a deep blue body of water can satisfy the need to swim a few laps, or simply serves as a place to relax — without ever leaving your home.

Found in homes for sale from $49 million all the way down to a few million, these magnificent pools in these magnificent homes offer a little of both: Great places for R&R or getting in some cardio.

But please, let's not think about the water bill.

1. Park City, UT – $49,500,000 (below)
5000 Royal St, Park City UT

Tucked away in Utah's ski haven of Upper Deer Valley on nearly 60 acres is the ultra-private Huntsman estate belonging to Jon Huntsman, Sr. (father of former Republican presidential nominee Jon Huntsman, Jr). The 20,000-square foot home, which is on the Park City real estate market, was built in 1989 out of reclaimed logs from the forest surrounding Yellowstone Park. It features 12 bedrooms, 16 bathrooms, a dining room that seats 20, not to mention a gym, library, 2-car garage and massive, lodge-like indoor pool.

2. Greenwich, CT – $13,995,000 (below)
16 Hurlingham Drive, Greenwich CT

With median home values in Greenwich currently $1,134,500, it's no surprise that this property on the Greenwich real estate market is loaded with over-the-top homes similar to this one, which features a stone-rimmed indoor pool and spa. Set off by an informal gathering room, the spectacular 2-story glass-and-timber garden atrium creates a resort-like setting and captures the picturesque view of Converse Lake from its tiered terraces.

5. Mercer Island, WA – $15,500,000 (below)
3051 84th Ave SE, Mercer Island WA

This sprawling Northwest estate that is part of the Mercer Island real estate market sits on over 5 acres and is surrounded with organic orchards, rare fruit and nut trees. It took 16 years to finish and, according to the home's listing description, the pool area alone took five years to build. It features Japanese Shinzuka trusses and a copper exterior roof.

232 W 15th St, New York NY

7. Grants Pass, OR – $4,950,000 (below)
429 Sierra Lodge Dr, Grants Pass OR

The 14,586-square foot Grants Pass estate includes a long list of luxury amenities but the indoor "cave" pool has to be the most notable. The attention to detail is hard to miss and puts the additional 100,000-gallon outdoor pool with slide, waterfall and spa to shame.

151 Haggetts Pond Rd, Andover MA
(below)

If you're wondering what $6.5 million gets you in Massachusetts real estate, take a quick peek at this 20,000-square-foot family home.

    As technology evolves, so do home conveniences. In 1992, you probably couldn't have predicted the necessity of owning a cell phone. A home computer was a luxury in the 1980s. Now nearly every household has at least one. In earlier generations, what we now consider everyday items went from luxury to standard equipment: Refrigerators, microwaves, garage door openers.

    Don't look now, but the housing market is suddenly bearing signs of life. Many large metro real estate markets are stabilizing — some even posting gains in home values. For example, the Miami real estate market hit bottom in Q4 of 2011 and is projected to gain 5.6 percent in value between March 2012 and March 2013. Does this mean people should get off the sidelines? The answer appears to be yes, according to Zillow Chief Economist Dr. Stan Humphries.
