The Mentougou Estate comes as the latest in a long line of developments feeding China's ever-growing property bubble, which has seen the market filled to the brim, with a reported 64 million empty homes and grossly overvalued properties.

Targeting Beijing's super-wealthy businessmen working class, the Mentougou Estate would be based on neo-Georgian designs and would be ready by the end of 2013.

"These homes are aimed at the very wealthy buyer and have to be perfect," the Daily Mail quoted a spokesman of the Mentougou Estate, as saying.
