The house is a tear down. http://www.almanacnews.com/morgue/20...6.alarry.shtml This story is 3 years old. Prices have nearly doubled since then. Top of the Market In an era of runaway real estate prices, here's a peek at the 20 most expensive homes sold in Collier and Lee counties last year. Collier County 1. $30,000,000 The talk of the town since the transaction was completed in April 2001, this deal in the Cutlass Cove section of Port Royal would make headlines just about anywhere in the world. For their money, the buyers got three properties: 1.45 acres of Gulf-front land with a one-story, nine-room home of nearly 6,000 square feet of living space; a 3/4-acre bayfront lot on the other side of Gordon Drive; and a vacant lot. The Gulf-front property, last sold in 1996 for $5.5 million, was valued at $10.2 million. The house, built in the 1960s and updated several times since, has been leased back to the seller for a year. It will be torn down and replaced with a home that reflects the value of the land but isn't a "megahome," says Pat Candito, the agent who sealed the deal. "The owners don't want something that looks like a hotel. They want something their grandkids can live in without having to run after them, telling them, 'Don't touch that.'" Candito says the buyers have lived in Naples four or five years and were looking for a "nice, large lot on the beach. What they got was a tremendous site." 2. $14,942,600 The only Old Naples property to make the cut-and one of just two top 10 transactions after Sept. 11-this deal included two pieces of prime real estate right on Gulf Shore Boulevard. At less than half of No. 1's top sales price, the New York City buyers got a three-story single-family home right on the beach on a lot about three-quarters of an acre. This property-without a house-last sold for $4.9 million in 1998. 3. $12,400,000 Just one of a dozen homes in the ultra-exclusive Strand in Pelican Bay and one of just two top sellers not in Port Royal, this four-story home has all the extras. Most importantly, it has a prized Gulf-front setting and wildlife preserves that block the view of neighboring houses, guaranteeing a perpetual fringe of green. Purchased by a Midwestern couple, the house has more than 9,000 square feet under air, five bedrooms, each with their own private balconies, six and one-half baths, a media room, wine room, garage space for six cars-the list goes on. Agents Ursula and Gerard J.L. Swart said it was love at first sight for the couple, who liked the home's "smaller" size compared to some of its 20,000-square-foot neighbors. They also surely adored the 3,091 square feet of balconies. "The top balcony has a fantastic view; it's just like being in the Mediterranean," says Gerard. "It was a quick decision once we found it for them." 4. $12,000,000 A vacant 1.28-acre lot with a lot of potential is what the buyers got for their $12 million. This Port Royal property will soon showcase a winter residence for the buyers. "They just wanted a spectacular view and found it in this property," said the selling agent. "There are not that many lots with that kind of view, except if the house is a teardown." The property nearly doubled in price in just a year, having last sold in April 2000 for $6.5 million-still quite a jump from its first recorded sale of $495,000 in 1982. 5. $11,000,000 A younger couple bought this already furnished 10,000-square-foot mega-mansion on Manowar Cove, an inland canal. "There's a million dollars in precast stone and an incredible home theater," says agent Mike McCumber, of Premiere Properties. Part of the attraction had to be the 100-foot floating dock covered in keystone. The couple's prized Ferraris can find shelter in a three-car garage and second garage with an elevator. "There's a bridge over a koi pond from the kitchen to the dock," says McCumber. "It's probably the nicest dock in Port Royal." Recently featured in Fortune as epitomizing the new, youthful faces of Naples' wealthy, the couple could have bought the home as a Valentine's Day present-the sale was finalized Feb. 15. The property alone is valued at $4.7 million. It brought $16,300 when it first sold in 1969. 6. $10,630,700 The buyers purchased a two-story home with 6,671 total square feet in Port Royal. The sale was the first ever for this Green Dolphin Lane property. 7. $10,500,000 Overlooking Old Harbour Cove, this home wasn't on the market long, says Premiere Properties' Tom Campbell. "It sold at that price because it's one of the most magical and well-built homes I've ever been in. This home has its own spirit." Featuring long water frontage, private courtyards, a unique guest house, and 7,287 total square feet, the two-story structure blends state-of-the-art technology with the "subtlety and classical sense of an older French home," says Campbell. The sales history of this home reflects a steady increase. It last sold for $1.1 million in 1996. The property first sold in 1978 for $90,000. 8. $10,350,000 The second-largest home on our list, this one-story Port Royal mansion boasts 8,389 total square feet and 7,315 square feet under air. Its $10.3 million sale price reflects a five-fold increase since the property last sold for $2.1 million in 1997. The price tag on this property increased by just $275,000-from $1.6 million to $1.875 million-between 1987 and 1992. 9. $9,500,000 Two full lots in Port Royal will eventually boast a great home with large gardens. This property, which overlooks Treasure Cove, enjoys one of the longest interior water views in Port Royal. Premiere Properties' Campbell says the place exudes peacefulness. The property last sold for $7.25 million in 2000. Other recorded sales were $4.9 million in 1999 and $2.5 million two years earlier. 10. $9,350,000 Husband-and-wife residents of New York City spent $9.3 million for this Port Royal home on Galleon Drive, but the wife says extensive remodeling will easily push the cost of the home to $10 million. One of just two of the top 10 deals that took place after Sept. 11, the house was purchased before it was finished, allowing the couple to put their own personal stamp on it. Although it's new, the wife says the home's classical architecture makes it timeless. Its unique appearance-it looks like a Greek temple-has caused it to be pointed out by passing tour boat guides. "There are many beautiful homes around, but I choose this because it's very different, very unique," she says. Overlooking a wide portion of Naples Bay, the house offers a picture-perfect view of sailboats on the bay. "It's just like something from a movie, all of these colorful boats," she notes. The two-story, 8,000-square-foot home has five bedrooms, a morning room, den/library, media room with theater-style seating for eight and features natural stone throughout. "It has this Old World castle feel to it," says the wife. "It's new but it looks like it could be 80 years old." The couple first discovered Naples 15 years ago, and the wife says she always hoped her attorney husband would slow down and retire here. The couple will keep their home in New York City but plan to live in Naples seven to eight months a year. http://www.gulfshorelife.com/Pages/h...tories.asp?346 |
