Patricia Kluge is offering her 300-acre English country estate in Charlottesville, Va., for $100 million, one of the most expensive listings in the U.S according to Wall Street Journal.

Ms. Kluge, 61 years old, is the former wife of John Kluge, a billionaire who founded the Metromedia broadcast and cellphone empire.

Her estate, in the rolling foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains near Thomas Jefferson's Monticello, includes a 45-room neo-Georgian main house of 23,538 square feet with eight bedrooms and 13 baths.

Completed in 1985, the home has a theater, library, recreation room with spa and sauna, a card room and an Islamic gallery featuring an antique Syrian fountain.
