Subject: trophy homes gen.
Спасите с переводом. не могу понять, что тут имелось в виду.

By Godi's definition, it's a home with more than 3,000 square feet of living space in a handsome setting, often with a beautiful view. An increasing number of trophy homes are waterfront places or are set on golf courses.

it's like a trophy wife - something/someone prized for qualities that enhance prestige or social status. (Webster's)

'trophy home' means a property that either sets a record in price or offers truly unique luxury amenities that no other/few other residential properties can boast.
