Multimillion Dollar Sales in West Boca

Real estate in Florida is booming. Many people are investing in property and finding that they can make a good profit when selling it. Some are purely selling because they’ve invested a lot into the property and are now looking for a return on that investment, some are looking to get a home with more space and some are selling as they’re relocating to the coast and like the look of condo renovations in Naples Florida. Four West Boca houses sold in the past couple of months for prices in excess of $2 million. All were in zip code 33496, with two of the sales in Long Lake Estates, one in St. Andrews Country Club, and the fourth in Fieldbrook.

The biggest sale was in mid-March, when 8747 Twin Lake Drive sold for over $3.85 million. The buyer won a $50M Canadian lottery jackpot in February and we’re happy to welcome him to West Boca.
As you might expect, it’s a big house:

The house has six bedrooms, seven full bathrooms plus a half bath, all in just under 8000 square feet of living space. On top of that it has five garage spaces for cars and a total of nearly 12,000 square feet including the garages and patios. Built in 2005, it was previously owned by a successful entrepreneur in the supplements industry who bought it in 2007 for just under the current sale price.
The house was marketed, at least partly with this very nice YouTube video:

The house sold quickly, in just about a week. The vacant lot next door was purchased in 2014 for $800K.

7091 Queenferry Circle; imagery and map data Google

Selling for just over $3.4 million, 7091 Queenferry Circle is located in St. Andrews Country Club with a lake and fairway view. The sale price is a big drop from the original listing at $5.2M, and it was on the market for over a year.
The home, built in 2014, has six bedrooms, seven full bathrooms and three half baths in over 9000 square feet. The buyer is a family trust in the name of a CEO who runs a military clothing company. The seller is a corporation that may be connected to another Florida executive who was accused of a stock kickback scam by the SEC a few years ago, and also to a major real estate player with a federal cocaine conviction back in the 1980s.

18118 Daybreak Drive; imagery and map data Google

18118 Daybreak Drive in Long Lake Estates sold for $3.25 million, down from its original listing at $4M. It was on the market for 11 months. This is another 9000+ square foot house with a total of eight bedrooms and 9 1/2 baths, plus 5 garage bays and a tennis court. It has a particularly nice lake view though it may get some road noise from Clint Moore. The house was built in 2002.
Here’s an exterior video of the house (probably shot with a drone) from YouTube:

County records don’t identify the transaction or the buyer yet. The sellers are a British couple. The husband appears to run a railway signalling company in the UK and the wife is a television producer there.

17776 Fieldbrook Circle West; imagery and map data Google

Last, and least in this group, 17776 Fieldbrook Circle West sold for just under $2.2 million. Fieldbrook is a small community on the west side of Jog Road, north of Clint Moore. The sellers are a local couple and the husband is a real estate agent who sold the house himself. They bought the house at the bottom of the market in 2011 for $1.35 million, making this a great turnaround.
He listed it last fall for three months at $2M, then took it off the market and put it back on again for a quick sale in January, closing in late April.
Built in 1995, the house has 6 bedrooms and 5 1/2 baths in 5900 square feet. There’s a fairly shallow backyard filled with a large swimming pool. It backs up to another exclusive neighborhood called Boniello’s Acres. The front of the house has a large circular driveway and lake view, and there’s a tennis court on one side.

The house features an oversized pool and spa overlooking a lake and a recently renovated kitchen with new appliances and granite counter tops. The bathrooms were recently renovated also. It was originally built in 1996. From the appraiser records this looks like it was a bank owned home but at least one record we see says otherwise. Previous transactions include what looks like a foreclosure sale in 2014 for $442K. In 2005 there’s a $480K but that seems to have been within the same family.

This stunning ranch at 21780 Marigot Drive sold for $634,350.

Located in The Estates subdivision, it has a large screened patio with a pool. The master bedroom is on the ground floor. It was purchased by an investment firm and then quickly sold to what looks like an individual investor in Deerfield Beach. Like Crystal Pointe, “The Estates” is on the higher end of the homes in Boca Falls. These two neighborhoods typically have paver driveways instead of stamped concrete, and other luxury features.

21404 Shannon Ridge Way; Image from Google.

21404 Shannon Ridge Way in the Mystic Bay subdivision sold for $550,000. That’s a pretty good price for a four bedroom, three bath house in less than 2800 square feet.

Three Houses for Sale in Saturnia for $750K and up

As an agent with Signature International Real Estate, I recently learned of three houses our brokerage has on the market in the Saturnia neighborhood at the far west end of Yamato Road. I’d be happy to show these houses to potential buyers. Call me at 888-733-5299.
Currently active listings in Saturnia start around $540K and go as high as $1.2 million. The three homes from Signature are in the middle of that pack, starting at $750K.
[contact-form to=’[email protected]’ subject=’Lead from 33496′][contact-field label=’Email or phone’ type=’text’ required=’1’/][contact-field label=’How can we help?’ type=’radio’ options=’I want to sell,I want to buy,I want to rent,I want to find tenants,Other’/][/contact-form]
Saturnia has a unique location sheltered from the rest of the world by South County Regional Park, and conveniently located across the street from highly rated schools: Eagles Landing Middle and Sunrise Park Elementary.

Prices are likely to go up since GL Homes is going ahead with a 43-home high-end development just south of Saturnia. Those houses will start somewhere north of $1 million, and that kind of addition tends to boost neighboring home values.

Two of the homes in this report are on one floor and were built in 2001. Brand new on the market is 19211 North Creekshore Court, listed at $809,900.

This is a large home for only one floor. It has five bedrooms and 4 baths in nearly 3700 square feet of living space. It’s also a fairly big lot at a third of an acre and it’s on a cul-de-sac with a pool and a pleasant lake view.

One particularly notable feature is the kitchen. It has gorgeous dark wood floors, upgraded cabinets, stainless appliances and exotic granite countertops.

Of course the house has a spacious master and its windows look out on the pool and lake. The master bath has a nice tub, separate shower, and separate “his and hers” vanities.

Next up is another large one-floor home with 6 bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths in just over 3400 square feet. 11741 Watercrest Lane is listed for $799,000 and has been on the market for less than a month.

Common in such homes of this vintage, it has an open floor plan.

The master bedroom has plenty of room with pool and lake views.

The master bath has a similar layout to the previous home with two vanities, a tub and separate shower area.

That pool and lake view is particularly nice:

The third house, 11729 Preservation is a two-floor model with over 4000 square feet, listed at $750,000.

The most notable feature just might be the pool area which includes special lighting and a spiral staircase down from the second floor patio.

The house also includes a very nice kitchen with a refrigerator that matches the cabinets and a bonus wine area including a rack and cooler.

The master bedroom is nice, though for some reason the photographer took this shot from a very low angle.

And that extra square footage creates space for features like the impressive master bath:

Sitting next to a cul-de-sac on the north edge of Saturnia, the rear of the house faces a canal and a large empty lot. That’s owned by the South Florida Water Management District so it’s likely to remain undeveloped and peaceful for decades.
Please call me (Warren) at 888-733-5299 if you’d like to see one of these houses or if I can help you with any other real estate needs in West Boca.
