Florida is now home to the most expensive for sale listing in the US

The most expensive home for sale in the U.S. goes up in Naples

The most expensive home for sale in the U.S. hit the market this week for $295 million. Gordon Pointe, as it’s called, is a roughly 9-acre compound in Naples, Florida, on the Gulf Coast, in an affluent enclave called Port Royal. The mega-listing includes a main house that spans about 11,500 square feet, with six bedrooms. Two guest houses, each over 5,000 square feet, bring the estate’s total interior living space to 22,800 square feet. All three homes are on a peninsula that delivers 1,650 feet of waterfront, a private yacht basin and T-shaped dock. More from  CNBC and Islander News.

My Take: Just the land alone would be $32.8 million an acre. Which is $753 a sf. I do not think that is expensive for an oceanfront estate. 1719 SE 12th Court in Fort Lauderdale was a vacant 15,833 sf point lot on the intracoastal sold for $12,000,000 in 2023 which is $758 per sf. Which would you rather have for a similar price per sf? Ocean and Intracoastal? or Intracoastal only?
