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.
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 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.
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.
