Tom has already sold his $40 million Beverly Hills mansion, and another $11 million Hollywood Hills compound in preparation for making Clearwater his main residence. He also dumped a New York City apartment for $3 million in 2013, and he's put a 300-acre Colorado ranch on the market for a whopping $59 million.

His new compound stands just 400 yards away from the Scientology "Flag" building, which is open only to elite and millionaire followers as they aim to attain the highest levels of the cult's teachings, known as the Support Power Rundown. The Top Gun legend demanded the super-penthouse be equipped with its own high-tech flight simulator — at a cost of $2 MILLION!

The palatial spread will also boast a state-of-the-art gym packed with $500,000 worth of muscle-pumping equipment, along with a $1 million movie theater, installed with the latest 4K, ultra-high definition technology, to play his blockbuster films! In a final over-the-top touch, the entire penthouse will be stamped and stitched with Scientology-branded, custom-made fittings in EVERY room, adding another $1.5 million to the hefty price tag!

Church bigwigs have privately insisted the project remains top-secret — but workers on site spilled the explosive details to RadarOnline.com. "We've been told not to say anything by the Scientologists, but we aren't in the church, so we shouldn't be told what to do," one spilled. "The flight simulator is a room all by itself, and it's all being specially designed and made."

Tom — who's worth an eye-popping $550 million — stars in the upcoming remake of The Mummy, and is working on the sixth installment of his wildly successful Mission: Impossible package. And with three divorces behind him, his ritzy new roost will make a perfect love nest — if he can tear himself away from his toys! Said a source: "Tom is looking for love, but he's creating the ultimate bachelor pad here!"
