$13.75 Million Dream Home Under Contract -- Blue Mtn Beach

Probably paying cash, too! Anyone seen Jessica and Tony?

Any word on who the buyer is? Or the selling broker?

It's already off the mls - can't pull up that number anymore

any photos anywhere - just curious
.

once pending, it is no longer on shown on public websites. The selling broker is not affiliated with Emerald Coast Association of Realtors so their name is unknown to agents outside of this deal, until the listing broker reports their name (as now required by the MLS rules) after the closing.

I'll attach a pic I took at the end of March.

This house is amazing....and I have to say....the Target Bedspread in the bedroom made me smile...I have the same one in the Ho House up in Paxton.....good taste!!!!!

Is this the same one that went for around 10M in the Retreat? Or is this the one at the east end of BMB overlooking the lakes?

the latter. Located adjacent and west of Big Redfish Lake, overlooking Lake and Gulf.

I thought so and remember walking around it when it was under construction many moons ago. I met one of the owners (the guy) who was having it built and he was a very nice property owner and owned other properties throughout the area. That's a big number, but a great house with the best beach views in WCo IMO.

It is one of my favs in SoWal.

I know a house is only worth what someone will pay for it. And that house is worth a lot! But how in the world is this house worth that much? Even if they got a huge discount, I'm sure it did not sell for less than $10mil. I'm familiar with the home and location, and know how impressive it is. But $13mil+??? Especially in this market! That kind of money can buy a whole heck of a lot of ultra-prime real estate. I know some of you have seen it. What are some of the specs. Solid gold painted walls, or diamond embedded countertops? That is so far out of my league that I cannot begin to comprehend such a pricetag for a beachhome, even as impressive as this home and location are.

Me, too. I love it.

In a house of this quality it is not an either/or, it contains both of these.

drivingtheview, which "ultra-prime lot in SoWal do you think is better than this one? It is one of THE most ultra-prime lots of which I know, and the house is pretty freaking cool.

Granite and Stainless Steel...nuf said.

Here are some pictures from the mls.

And here's a virtual tour.

It is the first rule of real estate. Location. Location. Location. This is on an incredible lot with the best of both worlds, lake and gulf. 'Nuff said. Gorgeous!

SJ-Absolutely love the house and more power to the seller (and buyer). And I don't think there is a better lot in sowal. Besides, that's not what I said. I made no comparisons to other lots in sowal. I simply said that this kind of money can buy a huge amount of real estate anywhere, especially in these market conditions. However, when one can afford a $13mil beach-home, money is obviously not a concern. I'm simply saying that I cannot believe that price!! Nothing more, nothing less. As I also said, I cannot beleive this price tag as it resides in another stratosphere from which I am not familiar. Incedentally, I have always loved the beachfront home up on the western bluff on the west side of the Draper lake outlet.

For those that love redundancy!!

You would have to have a net worth of a lot more than 13 million to not totally freak out about a 13 million dollar investment sitting right where a hurrican could easily wipe it off the face of the earth. I don't know how rich you have to be though. Maybe 100 million or more? Beautiful place. I'm sure they'll enjoy it whoever they are.

Blake cut the deal. The new owner is out of this area.

maybe the new owners will be my friend and let me hang out there

it's o.k., i guess i could live there ;-)

I heard from a very reliable source the buyer is the owner of Netscape
Pretty cool! ;-)

I think the new owners will "lighten" it...
