It’s quite a production

On Palm Beach’s so-called Billionair­es Row, a 37,516-squarefoot mansion is being shopped around off-market with a ninefigure asking price: $135 million.

Called La Follia, the palatial estate belongs to Terry Allen

Kramer, who produced the Broadway plays “Kinky Boots” and “The Elephant Man.”

A bit of exclusivit­y accompanie­s the hefty price tag; it’s the only property on the long, thin island that touches both the ocean and the Intracoast­al Waterway, according to the listing brokerage.

Touches of grandeur are found throughout the Italian Renaissanc­e-style home, which was built by architect Jeff Smith in 1995.

Elephant statues frame the wrought-iron gate entry, and a stone porte-cochere leads into the limestone-splashed foyer under 25-foot ceilings.

Tri-colored marble floors, coffered ceilings and custom millwork accent the elegant living spaces.

There’s an ornate living room with a fireplace, a wood-paneled lounge with a wet bar, a breakfast nook with green-latticed walls and a tile-filled kitchen with a stainless steel-topped island.

A total of 13 bedrooms are spread across the H-shaped estate, which wraps around a grassy courtyard with a pool and spa. Arched loggias take in the scene, and dual staircases descend to a landscaped garden.

The nearly five-acre grounds are completed by a five-car garage, private boat dock and 210 feet of water frontage.

Gary Pohrer, Ashley McIntosh, Cara McClure, Lisa Wilkinson and Adam McPherson of Douglas Elliman Real Estate hold the listing.
