Think what you want of former Real Housewives of New York star Kelly Bensimon, but the woman has good taste. Remember when we took you through a tour of her to-die-for New York City pad? Well, feast your eyes upon her 5,800-square-foot Hamptons mansion, which incidentally, could be yours ... if you happen to have an extra $12 million lying around.

Yes, Kelly is up and moving out of her East Hampton estate. Why? Who knows. Doubt it has anything to do with her getting fired from RHONY as A) she owned the house before she was on the show, and B) Housewives don't make that kind of money. But who cares? Thanks to Kelly's decision to put her home on the market, we get to soak up some hot, steamy, unadulterated real estate porn ... Mmmm ... I hope you're alone.

Here are the facts: The house has five bedrooms, a heated pool, a pond, a brand new stainless steel kitchen, and is set on 1.2 acres. Alright, enough with the talking. Let's get down to action:

Oh yeah, look at that pool ... and that yard ... give it to me.

My, my, Kelly, your living room is so ... big.

That kitchen. Okay, I see what you're trying to do, but you may want to make a few minor decorating changes here. Overall, though? Hot.

Your bedroom -- it's is so airy and spacious. You know just how I like it, Kelly.

All of the photos of Kelly's house are hot, but I'll stop here. I don't want to get to get you too excited. I will say, though, for as much as I love this place -- seriously love -- does $12 million seem a little steep? I mean, I don't know, I'm not a real estate agent, but 12 for five bedrooms seems kinda high to me.

Knock it down to $10 million and we'll talk, Kelly. It'll take a lot to get me out of my one-bedroom Brooklyn walk-up, but for the right price, you just might have yourself a deal.

How amazing is this house? Is $12 million too high?

    You're paying for the location in this case, not the house (although it still looks pretty huge).

    How can she afford that? Sorry she really isn't a star?! We will see her bankrupt one day.

    Anyone who spends this much money on a home is crazy, even if you have the money. It's a total waste of money, and overrated.

    THIS is what Kelly is up to... this info re Kelly was on SH days ago!  SH is my favorite HWs site; so, don't get me wrong, I like this site, too... but for HWs, SH is the site if you want HWs info!

    She don't own the house. Her ex do. She's probably allowed to sell it so he can get her dumb ass off his back. That said, he's no sweetheart either.

    I think the outside is pretty. Her decor style is a bit childish and tacky. I dont like her style at all. It doesnt even have a Hampton feel to u. Its like bad ikea, trying to hard to be artsy. #fail

    She does not own the house. It is held by a corporation controlled by her ex husband. Bensimon has never made much money and her entire lifestyle is financed by her ex because she had kids with him. She was fired from Elle Accessories after the first issue and hasn't held serious employment since. But for the subsidy of her ex, she'd be slinging burgers somewhere. The woman is as fake as her breasts.
