Belleair Bluffs house sells for record $10.25-million

What does $10-million get you? Perched on a 2-acre bluff, the house is crammed with 6 miles of wood trim among its five bedroom suites and eight bathrooms. It overlooks a 240,000-gallon swimming pool fashioned into a rocky lagoon fed by a waterfall. Japanese carp glide through a lily-padded pond. Bill McGill, chairman and president of MarineMax, the nation's largest boat and yacht dealer, built the house out of hurricane-resistant steel and concrete in 2001. He's been trying to sell it for years and listed it most recently for $16-million.
