Have you ever wanted to clasp your hands together and laugh maniacally while looking at your shark tank pretending that you just caught James Bond? Well, if you buy this $49.5 million home in California, you just might be able to.
The home, which recently went on the market, overlooks Palm Desert, California, is 1,000 feet above the desert floor and is built into the mountainside.
The home was designed by Coachella Valley architect Guy Dreier and has three pools, seven bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, six kitchens, a fully stocked shark tank, and several other amenities.
Following the death of its builder and former owner earlier this year, the home went up for sale. Listing agent Steve Frankel of Coldwell Banker Realty described the property as "your own private resort," USA Today reported.
Along with the shark tank comes waterfalls, a pickleball court, and a private office suited for a movie villain.
"I call it, 'The power office of all time,'" Frankel said.

Frankel said that to keep with the theme of unordinary things in a home, most of the property doesn't have doorknobs because entrances are operated through a Crestron smart home system.
To make the home "feel organic to the hilltop," the property doesn't have any right angles either.
The main house of the mansion is accessed via a garage that can hold six to 10 cars and an open-air elevator.
The hallway to the dining room is where the main attraction is being enclosed by an aquarium on all three sides. Each side is a separate tank that holds exotic fish, with the sharks overhead that Frankel confirmed do come with the property.
When it comes to who would be willing to buy the property, Frankel shared it is for a "high-net-worth individual or family" looking for a one-of-a-kind desert playground.
"It's someone who will come in and realize this is the most spectacular estate built in the desert of all time," Frankel said. "They want the best, and they can have it now."
