For auction: One Vienna palace

Palace, anyone?

There's nothing like a little looky-looing to set the tone for a long weekend. But if your schedule won't allow for a jaunt to Vienna, then take a quick peek here at the 300-year-old Palais Auersperg.

Located in the middle of town, the Baroque palace is near museums and the opera, has a view of the Parliament building and includes its own park.

A picture being worth a thousand words, on amenities let's just say: yes. No firm price is set, but 33 million euros is suggested as a point of reference. A quick conversion on a calculator clocks that at more than $48 million.

In a buying mood? Don't worry about getting the paperwork from afar and translating forms. According to Stiller & Hohla Immobilien -- Real Estate, "a precisely structured bidding process" will put investors around the world on equal footing to snap it up.

Let the bidding begin.

I thought this blog had to do with Los Angeles real estate market, not some expensive real estate in another country that no one that posts on this blog could even imagine to afford?

Just saying...

I might think about it, but with the price of even the lowest grade jet fuel so expensive these days, I am not breaking my piggy bank unless I am convinced that it's absolutely a great deal.

Does it come with a hereditary title?

This is "LA Land" -- not "Vienna Land." Why the unneccessary posting about a $48 million mansion in a different country? There's no relevance here.

Blame this post on those damn Austrian economists.
