A Tuscan-inspired Florida megamansion tucked away on a 2.1-acre peninsula with 500 feet of water frontage and a private dock has returned to the market for an eye-watering $75 million—20 years after it last changed hands.
The property, which was briefly listed for $69.9 million in April 2023, boasts an illustrious history, having reportedly played host to a number of high-profile musicians over the years, including Marc Anthony and Shakira, both of whom are said to have spent "many hours" at the abode, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Their visits to the dwelling are as a result of its owner, Spanish Broadcasting System Chief Executive Raúl Alarcón, who purchased the property for the relatively low price of $12 million in 2006.
He then proceeded to pour millions more into an extensive renovation of the dwelling, including the addition of a soundproof movie theater and media room, which he used to review new music, including that by artists like Shakira and Anthony.
Now, two decades later, with its pricey return to the market, the property has shot to the top of the week's most expensive homes list.
Located in the exclusive gated enclave of Journey's End, the seven-bedroom residence boasts a home cinema, wellness retreat, and indoor and outdoor living areas designed for grand-scale entertaining.
The 2.09-acre lot also has a pool with cabana and a guesthouse with staff quarters. Each of the 18 homes located in the private community has access to private sports courts.
More jaw-dropping estates to make the week's most expensive homes list include a coastal Connecticut estate slated for completion next year, a Nantucket mansion featured in Elin Hilderbrand's Netflix show "The Perfect Couple," and a "spectacular custom build" in Newport Coast.
