A spectacular legacy compound in Palm Beach, FL, has listed for the first time since it was built in 1976—with the astronomical asking price of $185 million, offering what the listing describes as a “once-in-a-generation opportunity” to own one of the area’s most extraordinary legacy estates.
That sky-high ask has propelled the dwelling to the top of the week’s most expensive homes list—with its listed price sitting at $70 million more than the next most pricey abode.
The oceanfront property is owned by Joan Goodman, widow of real estate developer Murray H. Goodman, and sits on 2.25 acres with more than 250 feet of direct frontage overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
The dwelling is located on the island’s North End and boasts a primary residence, guesthouse, tennis court, and resort-inspired pool.
While the estate is described as being in top-notch condition, it has been suggested that it could be demolished to make way for a much newer megamansion, a trend that has become increasingly popular among Palm Beach properties, particularly those that sit on the waterfront.
However, for those who wish to retain a slice of history, there is plenty on offer from the existing abode, which features “a decorative balustraded wall designed by noted society architect Addison Mizner for long-since-demolished Playa Riente, one of the island’s most elaborate estates of the 1920s,” according to The Palm Beach Daily News.
More jaw-dropping estates to make this week’s most expensive list include a Long Island compound owned by Vitamin Shoppe founder Jeffrey Horowitz, a “trophy estate” in La Quinta, CA, with golf course views, and an eight-home compound in Miami.
