Why is Manalapan called the billionaire’s bunker?
Manalapan earned the ‘billionaire’s bunker’ nickname for its privacy, large lots and prominent neighbors. The small barrier-island town in Palm Beach County has a limited number of estates, and prices keep climbing: one oceanfront estate sold for $83.2 million in 2026, more than double its $40 million price in 2017.

Why is Manalapan’s median luxury sale price $49.8 million, and is that a typical house?
No. Premier Estate Properties’ Q2 2026 Trophy Market Report counts only four closings totaling $210.6 million, including a single $105.0 million sale, so one deal moves the median sharply. Manalapan estates are large ocean-to-Intracoastal parcels, and quarterly figures swing widely. Rosalind Clarke and the Premier team pull multi-year comps instead of one quarter.

Who leads the Manalapan trophy division, and what is the track record?
Pascal Liguori leads Premier Estate Properties’ Manalapan trophy division, and Rosalind Clarke represented the buyer in the $83.2 million 1370 South Ocean Boulevard sale.
