Buy Whispering Rock, Gain Your Own Private Island

In Montana, a real estate tycoon is looking to divest himself of a luxury, lakeside estate. Donald G. Abbey has listed his famed Whispering Rock property for $78 million, making it the fifth most expensive home for sale in the U.S.

Located on Flathead Lake near ""Glacier National Park"":www.nps.gov/glac/, the 24-acre spread sits on its own private island, and ""Curbed"":http://curbed.com/archives/2012/07/03/nations-fifth-priciest-home-awaits-deeppocketed-buyer.php reports that ultra-wealthy potential buyers will enjoy one-of-a-kind design elements like African mahogany, Italian marble, and Indiana limestone.

This is not the first time Abbey has tried to sell Whispering Rock, and the current price tag represents a steep discount over his original ask of $105 million.
