A New York based high-end aquarium and pool design firm known as Okeanos Aquascaping has always be infamous for some of the greatest aquatic creations. The firm has currently been added to the Robb Report for their most exclusive holiday gifts, but you’ll never guess why. Well, Okeanos Aquascaping has just created a backyard pool and aquarium complex priced at $11 million dollars. Yes, it sounds pricey, but if you have the land available to build it, money to afford it and love fish, this might just be perfect for you.

The aquatic complex is guaranteed to be safe, with its use of chemical-free water in the pool. So there are some perks, especially for those eco-friendly users, who prefer a chlorine-free environment for their fishes. The complex is designed with a 30-foot-by-60-foot swimming pool full of freshwater. The aquarium itself comes above the surface at 15 feet tall above the floor of the pool. However, the disadvantage of custom building the complex will take 5 months to complete, but the end result will leave you amazed. Not only do you get to view the aquatic life from the pool, but you can virtually swim with sharks, eels and angelfish.
