If you loved our eclectic New York castle and Tuscan palace listings we recently featured, your jaw is going to hit the floor when you look inside the craziest Florida mansion we’ve ever seen. From the outside it looks like a typical Boca Raton Intracoastal haven—until you zoom in.
Be sure to bookmark our home and real estate column to keep seeing wow-worthy listings like this one.
“This magnificent estate is truly a work of art and situated on a direct Intracoastal Point lot with 256 feet of waterfrontage and .53 Acres,” begins the listing for 1201 Marble Way in Boca Raton, Florida.
“Built of John Ross/ROSSCO Construction, the beauty of the lot is that it is sited on an expansive nautical turn of the Intracoastal and captures the gorgeous long North views.”
“The home features over 16,600 total square feet with 12 bedrooms, six fireplaces and three pools. One is incredibly shaped like a fish, another with a ”swim against machine” and one is just for pedicure fish.”
Listed at $25,000,000—this totally bonkers palace in Palm Beach County has enough space for all your most imaginative friends and family members. It would probably make an even wilder Airbnb than the Barbie Dream House we recently covered.
“As you enter the grand foyer you notice the stunning tile mosaic floors, murals and painted ceilings all done by renowned French painters. There are two staircases, one with marble and tile work by a Canadian artist and a banister designed by a metal artist and the owner. The other is a tree staircase.”
“The best part is you do not have to climb down the stairs as there is a hand-crafted wooden dragon slide from the second floor to the foyer. The central slide seen from the front door is artisanally made from oak by local artist.”
“The observation deck offers stunning views of the Intracoastal, including another outside shower and solar panels. Access to it is through a metal circular stair created by a New York artist and the exit can be done on the foreman pole, as an alternative.”
“The large kitchen has a Le Cornue stove with electric and gas ovens, a pot filler and a Salamander grill. It also has a ‘lung’ exhaust vent that doesn’t need filter changing.”
“There are alkaline machines throughout the house to turn off acidity naturally found in city water, and instant hot devices to offer piping hot water.”
It has basically everything that’s ever existed inside, though we were surprised it didn’t have more indoor house plants.
“The kitchen includes a large wood-burning fireplace, a breakfast nook, a walk-in pantry, a walk-in fridge, a walk-in freezer, garbage disposal, a moon sink and rope faucet and a resting area for the after-dinner port.”
We should note that this kitchen is one of the few light, bright rooms in the home because the rest are absolutely filled to the brim with stuff.
“In the middle, there is a 20-seat Norse-carved table with Helga and Magnus dragons protecting it. There are tile murals, stained glass windows and ceiling paintings all over the house, also thematic.”
“The kitchen is dedicated to the elements of air and a story of its power is depicted on its ceiling. The surfaces are amazonite, a semi-precious stone, whose nuances of aqua and turquoise are mirrored in the Le Cornu magnificent stove.”
“Next to the kitchen, but easily accessible in case of a large-size dinner party, is the Fire dining room decked with a dragon chandelier and fire sconces and lights and a long dragon Italian carved table that can be connected to that in the kitchen through the large doors.”
“There is a mermaid living room and foyer, a reading room, a library and a pottery and kiln room for making pots and stained glass.” You know, just in case the mood strikes you.
“On this floor, there is also the game room with a reproduction of a Dali painting on the ceiling, a pub bar and a cellar for wines. Of course, there is also a kegerator for the beer drinker.”
“The second floor exhibits a master complex that includes the peacock master bedroom with a fireplace and terrace that has a summer kitchen and an outside shower, two offices, the mermaid’s master bathroom with carved glass doors, another outside shower, a six-person jacuzzi, a sauna, radiant floors, two sinks and two toilets separated by carved doors.”
“The master complex includes also a health room with a crystal bed and a BMer chair, a kitchenette and two large closets.”
“In a hidden alcove, there is the button that will bring down the Harry Potter ladder for attic access. Outside of the master there is a Family room and a palier with Chinoiserie and a huge Flying Dutchman fan from the auction at the closing of the Chicago Sears.”
“There is an animal-themed hallway, a round space with seating and table and nooks and crannies everywhere.”
“Outside the house is surrounded on three sides by water and it hides on one corner The Three Sisters, three huge basalt columns from Colorado brought here for support and stability. They protect the home and the fire pit where one can make smores.”
“The fire pit is surrounded by ground fires and lights. The same fire lights in the eye of the fish-shaped pool and its support table is used as a water bar.”
“A blue metal tree swings its branches and colored birds with the wind. The blue metal panels honoring the gods and elements are shading the flower beds and the fruit trees.”
“The same artist who made the tree put his signature on the banister’s cobalt blue, strewn with stained glass and depicting the old gods.”
“The house has four garages, two of them equipped with pillars that lift for a second car or two. Under the home there is a cistern collecting rainwater used for the sprinklers and also accessible through a water pump.”
“There is a full outside kitchen plus a cabana that can be turned into a flat if necessary. The outside sitting area, dining for 20 and fireplace are open to the stunning Intracoastal views.”
“For the boater, there is phenomenal dockage, and the property is located in a No Wake Zone and minutes to Lake Boca and the Boca Inlet.”
