Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison is putting one of his most spectacular Florida properties back on the market, and this time the asking price is $165 million.
asserted
price → put → market
The Wall Street Journal first reported the planned relisting, while The Real Deal and Realtor.com provided additional details about the property, its history and the latest listing.
asserted
Deal → report → property
Ellison bought the 8.4-acre oceanfront estate in North Palm Beach for $80 million in 2021, meaning the current asking price is more than double what he paid five years ago.
asserted
he → buy → what
The property, known as the Seminole Beach Estate, sits inside the gated Seminole Landing community, next to the Seminole Golf Club.
asserted
property → know → Club
The estate is among the largest oceanfront parcels in Palm Beach County, with roughly 562 to 563 feet of direct Atlantic frontage, depending on the source.
asserted
estate → depend → source
A property built for a major redevelopment
Ellison acquired the estate through an entity linked to him in April 2021.
asserted
Ellison → build → April
At the time, his plan was reportedly to demolish the existing Mediterranean-style residence and create something new on the expansive oceanfront site.
uncertain
plan → demolish → site
That never happened.
asserted
That → happen → ?
The existing house remained, and the property was subsequently offered for sale in 2022 with a $145 million asking price.
asserted
property → exist → price
It failed to find a buyer and was eventually taken off the market.
asserted
It → fail → market
Now, instead of reducing the price, Ellison has returned with an even higher figure: $165 million.
asserted
Ellison → reduce → figure
The new asking price would represent a 106% increase over Ellison’s original purchase price.
asserted
price → represent → price
The Real Deal reported that it also amounts to more than $10,000 per square foot and roughly $19.6 million per acre, making it a record-level ask for North Palm Beach.
asserted
it → report → Beach
Inside the oceanfront compound
The existing residence, built in 1991, spans more than 16,000 square feet.
asserted
residence → exist → feet
Realtor.com lists seven bedrooms and eight bathrooms, while other property reports describe additional half-baths and extensive supporting spaces.
asserted
reports → list → baths
The house also comes with a four-car garage, pool terrace, tennis court, wine room and a VIP guest suite.
asserted
house → come → garage
The estate offers direct access to the Atlantic and an unusually large stretch of beachfront, making it particularly attractive to a buyer interested in building a custom compound rather than simply moving into the existing house.
asserted
it → offer → house
The parcel also has room for a private helipad, a rare feature even among South Florida’s most expensive estates.
asserted
parcel → have → estates
It sits within a community with around-the-clock security, adding another layer of privacy to the already secluded oceanfront setting.
asserted
It → sit → setting
Why Ellison may be moving on
The sale comes as Ellison continues to concentrate significant real estate holdings farther south in Palm Beach County.
uncertain
Ellison → move → County
In 2022, an Ellison-controlled company acquired a roughly 15-acre ocean-to-Intracoastal estate in Manalapan for $173 million.
asserted
company → control → million
This year, he has continued expanding that property with an additional land purchase reported at about $35 million.
asserted
he → continue → million
In 2023, he reportedly spent nearly $10 million acquiring eight homes in Boynton Beach to house staff connected with his Manalapan operation.
uncertain
he → spend → operation
That makes the decision to part with the North Palm Beach property less surprising.
asserted
decision → make → property
Rather than developing another enormous residence, Ellison appears to be concentrating his South Florida real estate footprint around the much larger Manalapan compound.
asserted
Ellison → develop → compound
Whether someone will pay $165 million for the Seminole Landing estate remains to be seen.
asserted
pay → pay → estate
For now, the figure is an asking price rather than a completed sale.
asserted
figure → complete → sale
But if it attracts a buyer anywhere near that number, Ellison’s five-year-old $80 million purchase could become one of North Palm Beach’s most significant luxury-property transactions.
uncertain
purchase → attract → transactions
