South Florida Sun-Sentinel (Sunday)
A home with something for everyone
Two-story waterfront estate is listed for $45M
If you’re in the market for a home that has, well, everything, a recent listing in Boca Raton may very well fit the bill. But you better be able to afford it. After all, it’s listed for $45 million.
The 19,408-square-foot home, at 130 W. Coconut Palm Road, sits on a 0.84-acre lot at the prestigious Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club, located in downtown Boca Raton along the Intracoastal Waterway.
Built in 2012, the two-story gated estate has seven bedrooms, 11 baths and 357 linear feet of deep-water frontage, not to mention plenty of other features that will entice you to stay home.
There’s a 3-D home cinema, a custom-built home office, a wine cellar, gym, massage room, sauna, two electronics rooms, full smart-home integration, separate his and hers master bathrooms, a detached guest house and a six-car, air-conditioned garage.
Outside, you’ll find a pool, private dock, fire pit, summer kitchen and plenty of entertainment space.
“This house is special,” said Chad Carroll, a real estate agent with Compass Florida in Fort Lauderdale. “It appeals to a boater who wants a major estate. There are no other houses in Royal Palm available that offer both a large estate with water frontage.”
The current owner purchased the property in April 2009 for $4,535,500 and custom-built the house, which was constructed by Sarkela Corp., a luxury-home builder in Boynton Beach, and designed by Decorators Unlimited.
Carroll said the house is now on the market because “the owner is a developer, and he builds and sells houses and he just wants a change.”

assets to their kids or a trust for their kids while they are healthy so that eventually they will be eligible for Medicaid when the care is needed. However, there are strategies which allow people to transfer assets to their children without having to wait five years for Medicaid eligibility. Medicaid attorneys can create a personal services contract between the children and the parent. In exchange for a lump sum payment, the children agree to take care of the parent for the rest of their life. The payment must be reasonable based on what comparable nonprofessional caregivers charge and based on the life expectancy of the parent. Because this payment represents a payment for future services, it is not considered a gift and therefore it would not be subject to a five-year lookback. The children will need to document the services they provided each month. This can potentially allow the parent to become immediately eligible for Medicaid which could save the family
over $8000 per month in care or nursing home charges.
