by Alyson Pitarre

The most expensive residential offering in Florida to date has just hit the market for $295 million. According to the Wall Street Journal, it’s “America’s most expensive home for sale.”

Called “Gordon Pointe,” the 9.04-acre gated compound is situated in Naples’ exclusive neighborhood of Port Royal. Coldwell Banker Realty’s Dawn McKenna Group, holds the listing in partnership with The Leighton Candler Team of Corcoran and Rory McMullen of Savills, the London-based real estate firm.

Gordon Pointe features just under 400,000 square feet of land, unparalleled luxury, privacy, and lifestyle or redevelopment possibilities. With approximately 708 feet of beachfront and Gulf of Mexico views, 952 feet of bay views, an exclusive and extremely rare yacht basin measuring 231 feet, and a T-dock for approximately six boats; Gordon Pointe sets the stage for unlimited recreational opportunities. Additionally, the property can accommodate more than 200,000 square feet of residential development potential, ideal for a family compound or a subdivided community for a lucky few.

Nestled less than four miles from 3rd Street and 5th Avenue’s shopping, dining, and entertainment hub, and roughly seven miles from the Naples Executive Airport, the natural oasis offers an amenity-rich haven: pristine beaches along the Gulf of Mexico, a yacht basin, and a personal dock. Dawn McKenna, founder of Dawn McKenna Group who heads up the No. 1 large team in Naples, says that the location is unmatched. “If you want the ultimate in luxury Florida living, this property is it — it’s located in one of the most sought-after communities of Port Royal. You have 700 feet worth of beach frontage and 950 feet of bay frontage that includes the yacht basin…yet at the same time, you have the privacy and seclusion of being on an island. There is simply nothing else like it anywhere.”
