New Listing Hits Palm Beach’s Billionaire’s Row — $84 Million | Zillow Blog - Real Estate Market Stats, Celebrity Real Estate, and Zillow News

For buyers with deep, deep pockets, here comes another mega-million addition to Palm Beach, Florida’s “Billionaire’s Row” (homes located between ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway): a French Chateau-style home located at 1220 South Ocean, Palm Beach, FL.

Cost? $84 million.

This multi-million dollar spec home by Dan Swanson of Addison Development is the most expensive home the company has ever built in its 30-year history and just missed inclusion in our recent Top 10 Most Expensive Homes for Sale in U.S. post that ran in September.

Swanson is a high-end developer for the rich and famous in the U.S.  and has also developed private, elegant communities such as Phipps Estates in Palm Beach and Addison Estates at the Boca Hotel.

And what sets this home apart from the average home? Scale. The home is 27,000 sq ft on 2.5 acres and is designed for “large-scale entertaining,” and includes “art walls to showcase a major collection,” plus “gardens for sculpture.” When is the last time you ever heard those amenities included in a home you were looking at?
