Conrad Black is selling his Toronto mansion

Conrad Black's sprawling Bridle Path mansion is for sale. The beleaguered media mogul and his wife Barbara Amiel are downsizing on account of their extensive time in Europe and because they claim to rarely entertain.

Located at 26 Park Lane Circle, the house features nine bedrooms across 23,000 square feet of space. There's an eye-popping library, indoor pool, and tasteful kitchen to go along with a rather busy dining room space.

The house will be sold via auction on March 8. Apparently the Blacks didn't like the idea of having to show the house repeatedly. There is a reserve on the listing so it's possible that the power couple retains the mansion if an adequate offer is not made. The home is pegged at a value of $21 million.

As Black said in a statement, "it's a big house for two people." You think? In any case, take a look at the palace below.
