The most expensive house in the United States is now looking for a tenant with plenty of cash to splash.

The property, sitting on 4,900 square metres of prime Beverly Hills real estate, comes with a rental price tag of US$475,000, or AU$609,000, a month.

That's just about the median house price in Melbourne.

According to Forbes, Real estate mogul Jeff Greene bought the palatial gated Mediterranean villa, called Palazzo di Amore, for US$35 million in 2007 and listed the property for US$195 million last November.

If it sells at this price, it will be the most expensive home in the US.

However, while it awaits its multi-millionaire buyer, it is on the market to rent.

A 400-metre tree-lined driveway passes through three sets of double gates and a security guardhouse before winding up to the 12-bedroom, 23-bathroom mansion.

The new tenants will be able to host lavish dinner parties for up to 250 guests in their entertaining complex, and enjoy features such as a floating glass-floor walkway that connects one complex of the property to another.

It also includes a private-label vineyard, 50-seat cinema, bowling alley, commercial-size walk-in refrigerator and a disco/ballroom with a revolving dance floor, DJ booth and laser-light system.

The garage is large enough to store 27 cars, and if that isn't enough, there's on-site parking for another 150.
