Billionaire David McKenil and his wife Melissa just closed on a lake to another in Manalan, Florida for $ 55.5 million in cash-which led to their total spending on $ 94 million before the couple started building their dream home there.
It is called billionaires.
“I actually think I got a deal,” McKenil, the founder and CEO of Weathertech, a car mat, told Gimme Shelter in an exclusive interview.
The land – on which it has structures, and all will be removed – adjacent to another degree bought by MacNeil for $ 38.5 million last year.
The property extends from Intracoastal to the Atlantic Ocean. When both herds are combined, the end result will be a compound on 3.6 acres – and 340 feet on the ocean.
“It is the second largest in Manalan, and the only one in Palm Beach with an interface inside the late and the ocean is Mar Lago, so this is very special.”
The seller of the amount of $ 55.5 million in 1140 S. Ocean Blvd was the developer of Joe Farrell, who included his customers over the years Madonna and Justin Bieber. The piece was also marketed for $ 95 million, which included a non -built -in house, as mentioned exclusively GIMME.
The Margit Brandt menu is also represented by Premier ESTATE Properties, the seller.
MacNeil Gimme tells that he is building a house and guest house on the huge location – and that this work has already started building a sea wall.
“We are designing a functional and unusually surprising house in aesthetic and aesthetically, and it is elegant and not boasting,” said McKenil, who will move with his wife and three dogs-with a large area for their adult children to visit. The current home base of the family is Fort Lauderdale, as they recently sold a $ 40 million house.
The architect of the Manalan Complex is the Holdren + Lietzke, from Monterrey, California; McNeel said the construction is the local company RWB CONSTRUCTION Management.
“We are building a house, not a house – with an amazing and immortal design. We are very excited about the initial plans,” said McNeel.
He added that the house will also contain a large garage for its wide car group, which begins in the twenties of the twentieth century and continues until this century.
McNeel said that having a feature on the Atlantic and Intracoastal was “very important because you are getting the ocean as well as a boat on Intracoastal. It is the best in the worlds.” “We get permits now, and we are very excited to go.”
It is estimated that it will take two and a half years.
Manalapan is located 10 miles south of Palm Beach and 9 miles north of Delray beach, and the destination has become billionaires, as GIMME previously mentioned.
The billionaire Larry Ellison, co -founder of the Oracle software, owns the largest private residence in the region, which he bought for $ 173 million in 2022. The former Eau Palm Resort & SPA also owns the beach in Manalapan at 100 S. Ocean Blvd. , Who asked for $ 300 million.
Another local developer Stewart Satter included a land, and a house that has not yet been built, for $ 285 million-which is a planned property from the ocean to the Turkish-in a palace site that was torn in the amount of $ 27.5 million last year. The 4 -acre expulsion is one of the most expensive residential lists in the history of the United States.
Among the other residents of Manala are Billy Joel, Tony Robbins and Farrell himself, who has owned a house there for two decades.
Brandt said, “Manalan has been underestimated,” said Brandt. “Anywhere else you can get these types of huge and multi -space jobs, with direct access to the ocean, directly on the sand without a road? It provides closely to the work of Palm Beach but with additional opportunities for privacy, security and space.”
