It has six-bedrooms, a four-acre lake with waterfall, an outdoor barbecue, a pool house, three guest houses, a tennis court, and a 5,500-square-foot movie theater and stage. Asking price back then? $100 million.Asking price 10 months later? $100 million.The reason for the lack of movement on the price tag isn't a stubborn seller or the lack of draw. Homes in the highest echelon of the real estate market-everywhere-simply aren't selling fast. The key to unloading a $100 million dollar property these days?
