This past summer, South Florida Business Journal (July 14, 2025) featured a notable Boca Raton sale: a prominent racehorse owner sold his Intracoastal mansion in Boca Raton for nearly $19 million. The waterfront estate, located in the exclusive community of Spanish River Land, closed at approximately $18.73M – a price that reflected a substantial gain over its previous sale just a couple of years prior. Premier Estate Properties had the privilege of representing the seller in this transaction, which once again demonstrated the surging values in Boca Raton’s ultra-luxury market.
The mansion itself is a masterpiece of modern Mediterranean design, boasting about 9,000 sq. ft. of living space, panoramic Intracoastal views, and a brand-new deepwater dock able to accommodate a 100-foot yacht. The Business Journal article noted that the seller, a successful racehorse breeder and owner, chose to list the property as he refocuses on equestrian ventures in Kentucky – and he entrusted Premier to handle the sale due to our firm’s track record in the area. Our targeted marketing created immediate interest; the eventual buyers, a tech industry executive’s family, were drawn to the home’s blend of privacy (no rear neighbors across the wide Intracoastal water) and its proximity to downtown Boca’s amenities.
The sale earned media attention partly because it bucked any notion of a summer slowdown – happening in July, a time when high-end transactions are typically fewer. “Soaring demand drives another mega-sale,” one headline read, emphasizing that even outside peak season, buyers are actively pursuing trophy properties. For Premier, this is validation of our strategy: we market assertively year-round, knowing that the right buyer can emerge at any time. In this case, we leveraged our network to find a buyer in late spring, conducted showings through early summer, and negotiated a successful contract by mid-July.
Premier Estate Properties’ name in the Business Journal coverage reinforced our reputation as Boca Raton’s luxury market leader. We have been the agents behind many of the area’s top sales, and when such sales are publicized, our brand gains even more strength.
