American Idol‘s Simon Cowell is building his dream home in Beverly Hills, and quite a posh crib it is!

The $21.8 million house features:

a state-of-the-art gym in the basement, a luxury spa complete with wet steam room, a lap pool and the solarium… a separate butler’s quarters containing a servants’ kitchen… a library next to a ‘gallery’ where Cowell plans to hang his gold and platinum records and awards… a custom-made media room with a marble bar area and plush leather seating for 20 in a private cinema… a pool cabana with a retractable roof, wet bar and changing rooms and… a putting green at the rear of the property.

I’m betting, though, that Simon’s favorite feature of his new abode is probably a “full-length tanning machine and a smaller ‘booster’ facial tanner.”  Gotta keep that sun-kissed look fresh!

Cowell has been working on the 11,550 sq ft mansion for two years.  His neighbors will include Tom Cruise, Madonna, Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne and the Beckhams.
