Leonardo da Vinci's former home in Tuscany is up for sale for $14.6 million, according to artnet. It's a relatively low asking price considering the villa's walls were designed by the Mona Lisa painter himself. 

The home was built in the 1400s and was originally used as a fort. It has five rooms across four stories and features two balconies that look out over the Mediterranean Sea. The home was renovated by Napoleon Bonaparte's sister, Elisa, in the 1800s. 

The last painting of da Vinci's that went up for auction, Christ as Salvator Mundi, was priced at $200 million. The home designed in part by da Vinci is a steal when put in that context.
