Palm Beach home buyers with nine-figure budgets will do well to note the appearance on the open market of the only private island in this particularly distinguished corner of Florida. The manmade key is crowned by a brand new mansion (old mansion shown below) measuring 21,406 sq. ft. The property is presently tagged at $218 million.
The home’s footprint occupies roughly a third of the rectangular, 2.27-acre island; a work in progress at the time of writing, the residence is being updated and expanded. The end result will be a winged manor with eleven bedrooms and between sixteen and nineteen baths, and architectural touches that include an arcade and poolside loggia with summer kitchen, fireplace, and bar. A five-car garage completes the structure.
Aside from the pool — which measures in at 98 feet in length — the estate’s amenities include a tennis court, library, gym with separate weight and cardio spaces, elevator, and entertainment room with movie lounge and billiards space.
