When you're Jay-Z and Beyonce, inarguably the highest paid couple in showbiz, you can afford basically everything your heart desires – even if that's a huge estate you want to rent for a single month to the tune of $400,000 (€325,971.8).

According to PageSix, that's exactly what the power couple did just recently: the two are relocating to a sprawling estate known as Sandcastle in Bridgehampton and will be paying a fortune for it for a single month.

“The 11-acre property on Halsey Lane was built by Hamptons super-developer Joe Farrell. It’s currently on the market for $43.5 million [€35.4 million],” the publication reports.

“The sprawling estate is fit for the king and queen of Hip-Hop, lavishly equipped with a two-lane bowling alley, virtual golf, skateboard half-pipe, a rock-climbing wall, a full bar and recording studio,” adds the same media outlet.

However, the two stars may have been attracted to it also because it is children-friendly, which makes it perfect for their first child, daughter Blue Ivy Carter.

“It also boasts a 60-foot heated pool with an underwater stereo system, a tennis court, a spa facility with gym and a combination squash, racquetball and basketball court with moving walls and retractable hoop – plus an eight-car garage,” PageSix writes.

“In addition to a 2,800-square-foot master suite, the place includes a separate two-bedroom apartment. The estate also has what’s called a 'children’s performing area,' according to the listing on Corcoran.com – perfect for baby Ivy,” says the e-zine.

Sandcastle was completed in 2009 after 18 months of construction. Farrell lived with his family in it for a short while and it's been on the market ever since.

PageSix notes that the property has been rented every summer at astronomical rates, with countless celebrities and rich and eccentric people choosing it for how secluded and luxurious it is.
