Florida’s Most Expensive Home Is a $140M Oceanfront Mansion in Palm Beach

A once-vacant oceanfront lot in Palm Beach, FL, that sold for $37 million in 2017 now boasts a brand-new home.

And given the locale, it’s no surprise that the finished product is now Florida’s most expensive home. Listed for a whopping $140 million, the mansion has toppled the long reign of the $115 million Ziff family compound in nearby Manalapan, FL.

Construction recently finished on the residence on N. County Road, and the result is a two-story masterpiece, with clean lines and an abundance of glass.

At just over 21,000 square feet, the price per square foot on the mansion is a hefty $6,646.

For comparison’s sake, the median listing price per square foot is currently $835 in the city of Palm Beach.
