If you’re looking to make a splash in the San Francisco real estate market, here’s your opportunity.  Real estate mogul Victor MacFarlane has placed his unfinished 20,000 square foot penthouse in the St. Regis Residences on the market for $70 Million.  A shocking price tag by any standards, but especially eye-catching in San Francisco (our home town), where the highest amount paid for a single family residence or condo is $32 million.

So what does $70 million buy you?  In addition to choosing the remaining finishes, the buyer will land a condo equipped with the following features and amenities:

• Six bedrooms, seven full baths, four powder rooms, two offices, four fireplaces, a wine storage room, a 13-seat home theater, and a gym with a sauna and steam room
• Four terraces with 360-views of San Francisco.  One terrace is 2,000 square feet.
• Twenty-two foot high windows with brushed aluminum frames
• A foyer with winding staircase and two-story waterfall
• Loads of homeless right outside your front door

Located at the corner of 3rd and Mission Street, the St. Regis Residences are located in San Francisco’s transitional SOMA district. Despite the building’s swanky interiors, the building’s location makes it tough (if not impossible) to justify the extraordinary asking price.  Considering that MacFarlane picked up the unit (originally three seperate condos) for $30 million total back in 2005, we’d recommend some serious negotiating if you’re at all interested.

Born in Ohio, MacFarlane is the CEO of MacFarlane Partners, a San Francisco real estate investment firm with $11 billion under management.  He is also the co-owner of the D.C. United soccer team.

It’s not uncommon to see developers include everything from chauffeured cars to yacht charters as amenities to luxury property purchasers. Now, a select group of of high-end vacation home developers has taken their amenity lists to the next level by offering discount private jet travel to their customers, according to a recent article by Kevin Bass of the International Herald Tribune.

Villas Del Mar, a Cabo San Lucas development where new homes start at $2.35 million, has partnered with jetshare firm Sentient to offer home purchasers a $150,000 discount on Sentient’s $250,000 Gold Membership program.  Likewise, Residences at Beach Bay, a fractional ownership resort club on Grand Cayman, has partnered with Halcyon Jets to offer discounted rates to buyers of its $360,000 1/8 share beachfront villas. A South African development, South Africa’s Garden Route, has taken a slightly different approach by purchasing a Hawker 4000 that it offers to residents at a reduced charter rate.

Gimmicky? Yes.  But at as one Del Mar purchaser notes, it’s “better than a watch.”

After catching the second episode of Bravo’s Million Dollar Listing last night, we decided to do a little research into which of the show’s three featured LA super-agents has the most baller active listing. It was a tough call, but we’re giving the honor to recently-arrested, 21-year-old Josh Flagg, who currently has a ridiculously lavish Beverley Hills estate available for lease at $50,000 per month (pictured left), as well as two properties for sale priced individually at more than $12.95 million. The most expensive of Flagg’s listings is a nearly $16 million traditional home in Brentwood.

Coming in at a close second is Madison Hildebrand, who’s got a $13.495 million estate site in Beverley Hills up for grabs, as well as a $35,000/month beach-front home for lease in Malibu. And pulling up the rear is Chad Rogers, who’s apparently been spending more time on his page boy haircut than booking new multi-million dollar listings. (We’re actually just giving Rogers a hard time, as he recently completed a sale on a $16 million property in Malibu Colony, as well as Ronald Richard’s $3.8 million condo in the Sierra Towers, featured on the show. Rogers also has Richard’s smaller Sierra Towers unit in escrow).

For those who didn’t catch the news earlier this month, Flagg was arrested and released on a $100,000 bail after reportedly stealing Picasso’s and Chagall’s from estates that he’d been listing. So, although Flagg has the most baller listing currently on the market, we’ll have to wait and see if he can keep it up post arrest scandal.

Pictured in the gallery below you’ll see more shots of Flagg’s $50,000/month Beverley Hills estate, a rendering of the mansion planned for Hildebrand’s Beverley Hills lot, and Rogers’ $5.15 million Georgian estate also on the market in Beverley Hills.

After splitting up from his wife, Jackass star Johnny Knoxville has put his 1924 Mediterranean villa in the Hollywood Hills up for sale at $1.695 million. From the listing information and pictures, one thing’s clear: he’s living a lot larger than Steve-O. Which shouldn’t come as any major surprise. The three bedroom, three bath, nearly 3,000 square foot crib, is equipped with plenty of luxury amenities, including a media room and a large master bath with a steam shower. While the lot is small at 0.21-acres, it features a courtyard, a large pool, and fairly expansive views.

Knoxville also owns another $2+ million house in the Hills, although it’s unclear whether he’s occupying it at the moment. For an up close view of Knoxville’s for sale house, take a look at the gallery images below.

Nicholas Cage is a man who likes his real estate. In recent years the actor has bought and sold homes in San Francisco, New Orleans, Rhode Island, Bath, England, and Newport Beach, California. Now it looks like Cage might be leaving Las Vegas.

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Nick Cage’s 14,000 square foot Las Vegas mansion is on the market at $9.95 million, $1.45 million more than he dropped on the place in 2006. According to listing information and the virtual tour, Cage’s seven-bedroom LV crib features an elevator, 16-car garage, a high-end home theater, a swimming pool and views of the strip.

Surprisingly, the mega mansion sits on just over a third of an acre. Meaning that the pool sits practically above the street to the back of the house. Not the most private situation for an actor of his caliber. But if the place strikes your fancy, we’re betting that you might be able to pick it up at a discount to its listing price given that it’s been sitting on the market since last fall.
