Beyonce Knowles Homes

Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z, along with their child, will be spending their warm, August New York days in the Hamptons, rather than Manhattan. Although their Trump Tower home is more than spacious enough for the young family, they will have lots more space and privacy in the Hamptons.

Their Hamptons rental house has over 31,000 square feet, and is known as Sandcastle. It has been for sale for some time, but it has had some rich renters during the interim, including Beyonce. The house boasts masterful finishes and the use of exotic materials.

The master suite has 2,800 square feet and the house also has a virtual golf course, a two-lane private bowling alley, a media room and a rock climbing wall.

Beyonce and her husband, rapper Jay-Z, own a home in Florida, where the winter months are more tolerable. The home is in Indian Creek Village, and it has two stories right on the waterfront. They used to spend more time in the mansion, but it has since been listed for sale.

The lovely mansion can be found on a residential and golfing island, located between Bal Harbor and Miami Beach. The home has nearly 8,000 square feet and has seven bedrooms, eight full baths and a lovely pool.

Other celebrities who call this area home include long-time coach of the Miami Dolphins, Don Shula, Julio and Enrique Iglesias and the model Adriana Lima. It is a very prestigious area in Florida, and popular with celebrities.

Beyonce and Jay-Z bought a luxurious Scarsdale mansion before they were married in 2008. It's found in New York's Westchester County.

In a 15,000 foot floor plan, the mansion includes a large garden and plenty of parking for three vehicles. Around the boundaries is beautiful fencing that soothes people inside while preventing anyone with a criminal mind from sneaking into the home site.

Beyonce is also planning to purchase a home for her mother, as a wonderful gift. This home is in Houston and was originally listed in a short sale. The price was much higher in the years before Beyonce decided to purchase the home, so she will get an exceptionally good deal.

This won't be the first home that Beyonce has purchased for her mother, Tina Knowles. It offers more than 23,000 square feet in its Italian and French influenced architecture. The home has marble columns, granite floors, a mirrored elevator, suspended staircases and gold-plated fixtures. It boasts eight large bedrooms, 12 bathrooms and an elegant master suite. It also has lovely gardens, windows with a pool overlook, arched windows and soaring ceilings.

This house can be found in Piney Point Village. It was owned by Douglas Johnson, and the original price tag was $19 million. Johnson and his ex-wife, Melanie, have slashed the price in an effort to get the house off their hands.

The lower price tag has caught the attention of many people in addition to Beyonce. Most of them are executives in the gas and oil industries. Wealthy oil executives have been flying in to check out the home, and it's been a popular house in the past months.
