$110M Oceanfront Mansion in Palm Beach Is Most Expensive New Listing

Palm Beach

An oceanfront estate in Palm Beach, FL, has floated onto the market for $110 million. The prodigious asking price makes the posh property the most expensive new listing on realtor.com® this week.

Located on what’s known locally as Billionaires’ Row, the Mediterranean-style mansion, on over an acre, is about a half-mile south of President Donald Trump‘s Mar-a-Lago.

The home is reportedly owned by a securities systems executive, Edward “Chris” G. Watkins, according to the Palm Beach Daily News. He reportedly paid $17.7 million for the property in 2001, and proceeded to have a grand estate custom-built on the coveted parcel. Construction was completed in 2003.

It was available for a bit as a whisper listing at $105 million, then officially splashed on to the market for the slightly higher price of $109.5 million in 2018. Known as Pietra Mare, the estate caught our eye last year, as one of a handful of hundred-million-dollar-plus homes in the country.

After a brief respite, the property has returned to the market with a tiny price bump, at the attention-getting sum of $110 million.
