A 113,000-square-foot mansion in Paris is on the market for 250 million euros, or about $280 million.

It's the most expensive home currently for sale in Paris, according to the Russia-based Kalinka Realty, which is selling the property with Hong Kong-based Sindex Development.

The massive mansion sits along the banks of the Seine River, right next to the city's most famous landmark: the Eiffel Tower. The price recently went up from 220 million euros about $246 million because of buyer interest, particularly among Russian clients, Kalinka Realty told Business Insider.

"This is an ideal purchase for investment and similar offers within walking distance from the [Eiffel] Tower and with views of it ..." Tatyana Burlakovskaya, head of Kalinka International, said in the listing. "Such properties are called trophy [properties]. Possession of them is not so much a question of profit as the opportunity to get a unique asset into your collection one of a kind."

The owners of the mansion are reportedly two elderly sisters who are "representatives of a rich French dynasty," according to Kalinka Realty. But the interior and other details of the home remain a mystery to the public.

Here's a look at the $280 million mansion.
