This $295M Florida compound is the most expensive home for sale in America

In Naples, Florida, a sprawling waterfront compound has hit the market for a potentially record-breaking $295 million. If it sells for anywhere close to that stratospheric asking price, the deal will take the crown as the priciest residential sale the United States has ever seen.

Specifically, it would surpass the record set by hedge fund billionaire Ken Griffin, who paid roughly $240 million for a combination penthouse at 220 Central Park South in Manhattan in early 2019.

The financier John Donahue reportedly saw the then-undeveloped stretch of land, known as Gordon Pointe, while flying over it and declared “I want to go there” to his wife, Rhodora Donahue.

In 1985, he did just that, purchasing the then-4.3-acre lot for $1 million.

He proceeded to build up the property from a mangrove-surrounded fishing cottage into a 60-acre haven. But its pièce de résistance — and what’s listed for sale — is a portion spanning 9 acres, complete with 1,650 feet of waterfront, three houses and a private yacht basin with a T-shaped dock.

The property is being brought to market by Coldwell Banker Realty’s Dawn McKenna Group, in partnership with the Leighton Candler Team of Corcoran and Savills’ Rory McMullen.
