Top 10 Most Expensive Listings: East Coast

Step Inside America’s Most Lavish Luxury Real Estate Listings

Nine of the Top 10 Most Expensive Listings on the East Coast are directly on the water. While only half of these estates surpass the $100 million mark — a contrast to our previous list, where all ten exceeded that threshold — they are no less extraordinary. This collection showcases the exclusivity of direct water access, offering everything from breathtaking views and private beaches to world-class amenities.

Privacy and exclusivity also remain paramount in ultra-luxury estates. “The privacy, security, and location make this property extremely rare,” says Dawn McKenna about No. 2, 100 Bay Road in Naples, Florida. “It’s located at the base of Port Royal, one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in Southwest Florida, yet it feels like a private island, but with roadway access.”

Expansive land holdings are also a key feature among these elite listings. Many of the top 10 have a minimum of five acres; however, a few offer a staggering 80-200 acres. “70 & 71 Cobb Lane presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own one of the largest compounds in all of the Hamptons,” says Preston Kaye, co-founder of Hedgerow Exclusive Properties, about the 21-acre estate on a private peninsula in Water Mill South. “Rarely does a compound of this size and scale exist on the water, let alone come to the public market.”

Florida’s Most Expensive Estate Lists for $285M — A New Standard in Luxury Real Estate

The No. 1 property currently on the market checks all of the boxes and more. “With its prime location, exceptional craftsmanship, and resort-like features, it is positioned to be one of the most significant transactions in the area,” says Nick Malinosky, founding partner of The Exclusive Group at Douglas Elliman. A listing such as 1960 S Ocean Boulevard, Manalapan, Florida, surpasses everything else that’s currently available, and its staggering $285 million price tag is bound to impact the local market. “There is an increasing preference for ultra-private, fully amenitized estates that function as self-contained retreats,” explains Malinosky. “This property epitomizes that trend with its expansive outdoor living spaces, wellness amenities, and seamless indoor-outdoor design.”

These listings demonstrate the ongoing trend of buyers not only looking for opulent properties but also for unparalleled privacy, security, and modern conveniences.

Former MLB Star’s Home is on the Market

with:

At Unique Homes Media, Inc. we’re always on the lookout for unforgettable homes and we think you’re going to love former MLB star, Travis Fryman’s 9,000-square-foot estate. 

The Gold Glove award-winning third baseman’s estate hit the market for $4.8 million. The stunning mansion sits on 150 acres of wooded land in Molino, Florida and is listed by the Mark Lee Team of Levin Rinke Realty. 

Travis Fryman is a Florida native, growing up in Pensacola, just south of Molino, where he built his estate. He was drafted into the MLB by the Detroit Tigers in 1987 and ended his career with the Cleveland Indians in 2002. 

 

He bought the property in the late 1990s and built the home in 2000. “Since Travis grew up in this area, this property holds a special place in his heart,” said Stephan Vance, one of the listing agents and Realtor with the Mark Lee Team. “He built the home with the intention of creating a sanctuary that truly embodies the beauty and spirit of this region.”

The home features a beautiful, secluded front entrance hidden by a variety of mature trees. A grand brick staircase and a double mahogany front door create a welcoming Southern-style entrance. The doors open up to a two-story foyer, private dining room, kitchen, and the great room. The kitchen is decked with a Sub-Zero refrigerator, butcher block center island with a prep sink, wine cooler, built-in heat lamps, and a double-oven. 

With six bedrooms and seven full baths, there is no shortage of space in this opulent residence. The primary suite is located on the main level and features vaulted ceilings, a gas fireplace, and private pool access. A double sink vanity and makeup table, a tub surrounded by a bay window and a spacious walk-in closet make up the expansive primary bath. 

One of the highlights of the home is the great room, which is adorned with a stone wood-burning fireplace, 250 foot tongue-and-groove ceilings, and multiple glass French doors. Additionally, the interior double doors lead into a large sunroom that has panoramic views of the lovely estate grounds.

A rarity in Northwest Florida, the home includes a fully finished basement. It’s equipped with a professional gym, private bedroom and bathroom, a pool table area and an oversized media room with built-ins and a wet bar.

 

With 150-acres of land, the outdoor space is a large selling point for this property.The east side of the home has a large pine barn, batting cage, secluded office space, workshop, area and a bar for entertaining guests. Moreover, on the backside of the house is a wraparound covered patio with an attached gazebo that overlooks the fenced-in gunite pool. Finally, the property has multiple walking trails and parceled out sites for the option to build. 

“Finding a property of this size just outside a city like Pensacola is rare for this area,” said Gordon Miles, president of Levin Rinke Realty. “With its mature trees and extensive wooded land, it offers a rural atmosphere while still being just a short drive from downtown Pensacola and some of the best beaches along the Gulf Coast.”

Lahaina’s Jewel: Explore 9 Bay Drive with Mary Anne Fitch

with:

Perched atop the dramatic shoreline of Kapalua, Maui, 9 Bay Drive stands on close to 10 acres as an epitome of coastal luxury. The unparalleled site has been adorned with all the comforts of high-end living to create an enviable resort-style home. “It has a deeply emotional, almost spiritual feeling to it,” explains Realtor Mary Anne Fitch at Coldwell Banker Island Properties, who describes this home as the most exceptional property she’s ever encountered in her career.

This 7-bedroom gated estate captures the essence of Hawaiian living with expansive indoor-outdoor spaces and uninterrupted views like no other. The heart of the property is undoubtedly the natural landscape. In 2017, the 12,000-square-foot residence was rebuilt to specifically showcase and harmonize with the surrounding environment. Harrison Woodfield Architects, an award-winning firm, transformed the home, and it was named the Ludowici 2019 Residential Project of the Year, recognizing the unique blue clay tile roof resembling the Pacific Ocean.

Inside, there are accommodations for 12. Guests can choose from a primary suite with his and her baths, four oceanfront suites that include outdoor showers and private lanais, and two bunk bedrooms. “It can feel intimate, and it is perfect for entertaining and gathering large groups,” says Fitch.

Set against the backdrop of azure waters, every corner of this property exudes tranquility. Upon entering, floor-to-ceiling windows bathe the rooms in natural light, while framing breathtaking vistas of the ocean and nearby islands. Luxurious amenities include a resort-style pool with a lounging area and spa, a sophisticated outdoor barbecue and entertainment area, gym, game room, a primary and secondary kitchen, and even

commercial-grade laundry.

The primary suite is a haven with a spa-like ensuite bathroom and a private lanai overlooking the waves – the ideal spot to unwind and bask in the island breeze. Even more, just a few minutes away, “you can access the resort amenities at Montage Residences Kapalua Bay, which is an exclusive oceanfront community located within Kapalua Resort,” says Fitch.

9 Bay Drive is a sanctuary atop an unmatched site. Careful attention to detail has perfectly combined luxury comforts with natural wonder in this spectacular home for $30,000,000.
