What could $42 million buy in South Florida? Well, it almost gets you Fox News’ host Sean Hannity’s mansion in Manalapan, which listed early this year for $44.9 million. But, more accurately, that amount would promise you this show-stopping, beachfront mansion in Gulf Stream. It just listed for $42 million, beckoning billionaires to come check it out.
Seated on nearly an acre of dunes along one of the area’s most coveted beaches, the location is prime. And, the outdoor design of the home takes full advantage. Expansive sliding doors open to outdoor entertaining areas complete with a saltwater pool and spa, tropical landscaping, terraces and outdoor lounge spaces—plus, a premium Florida feature: Private beach access. Perfect for early morning walks in the sand or nights spent around a bonfire.
Rebuilt in 2017 and designed by Rustem Kupi Architects, the 7,500-square-foot home itself looks brand-new and bespoke with designer finishes weaved across its five bedrooms and fashionable living spaces. While undeniably grand, the design was intentionally made to feel light, airy, and transitional. Wide-plank European white oak floors, limestone, and an open living concept with tons of natural sunlight pouring in are some standout features.
The true centerpiece of the home lies in the great room, with dramatic ceilings and sweeping ocean views. And while pristine ocean views are showcased here, they are also visible from nearly every major room, creating a clear sense of place that people often crave when estate-hunting in this affluent region.
With its sky-high price tag, this beach house will be out of most buyers’ budgets and is aimed at the true 1%. Paulette Koch of The Corcoran Group holds the listing for those who can afford it.
