Buying a house when you’re a millionaire is indefinitely easier than if you’re not, if only for the latest in high-end real estate marketing: mansions with fully-equipped garages, or at the very least a Ferrari in the driveway.
Even from this perspective, this waterfront mansion in Del Ray Beach, Florida, aims to bring the wow factor. It’s not selling with just a Ferrari, but an additional 2,508 horsepower from a custom-built powerboat. Buy a house, get transportation on both land and sea ensured. #winning
According to Douglas Elliman real estate broker Senada Adzem, from the Senada Team, the latest in high-end real estate is to not sell just mansions, but to pack as many goodies into the deal as possible. Of course, customers pay for all of them, so it’s not so much a “deal” as it’s a bonus in that, once they buy the house, they don’t have to go shopping for other essentials, like cars or boats.
This particular estate is called Casa del Encanto and it totally lives up to its name. It’s a five-bedroom, two-story house with seven bathrooms and 2 half-baths that sprawls across 12,778 square feet in total and 9,271 square feet of living space. It comes with everything you’d expect from a luxury mansion in Florida, including a large pool, jacuzzi, fully-stocked wine cellar and bar, the promise of privacy and impressive views, and its own dock.
The cherry on the top is the 488 Ferrari Spider in bright yellow, courtesy of the Ferrari dealership in Fort Lauderdale, retailing for an estimated price of $350,000. It also comes with its very own custom-built Midnight Express powerboat, which alone sells for approximately $1.6 million. The two boost the attractiveness of the real estate by adding a whopping 3,000 horsepower to it.
Granted, Casa del Encanto can also be purchased without the two beauties that aim to make it more appealing to the high end customer and without all the art displayed inside, in which case it’s a steal at $7.5 million. But Azdem is convinced that it’s the Ferrari and the powerboat that which will eventually make one lucky man or woman sign on the dotted line.
“It speaks to the type of lifestyle this multi-million-dollar estate represents in South Florida,” Adzem explains in a recent chat with CNBC. “Our clients love a little cherry on top of the deal. This is an actual convenience factor, so that someone doesn’t have to wait for months and months for their custom Ferrari or years for their custom Midnight Express.”
She speaks from experience: in 2017 she sold a Boca Raton, Florida waterfront condo with a Tesla and a Jaguar for $4 million and, she vouches, “the buyers were thrilled not to have to go car shopping.” With a Tesla and a Jag in the garage, we could relate.
That said, even without the Ferrari and the Midnight Express in the package, this mansion is a stunner. Designed by Marc-Michaels Design, it’s one of the finest properties on Florida's Intracoastal Waterway. Elegant, the French-style mansion comes with anything from a pool and jacuzzi, to four bars and high-tech cellar that requires the owner’s thumbprint for access. And, of course, an entire collection of aged wines and spirits to choose from.
Expansive glazing allows plenty of natural light, while the furnishings in soft, warm colors invite to rest and relaxation. The master suite is comprised of bedroom, two bathrooms, two separate walk-in closets and separate offices, and there’s also a gourmet chef kitchen with butler’s pantry, entertainment room with billiard table, sauna, private elevator and plenty of “lush tropical landscaping.”
If the Ferrari in the offer isn’t to the liking of the future owner, they can also go out and buy their own cars like us common folk do. The house comes with a five-car garage and one lift, so there is plenty of space for a small collection of automobiles more to their tastes.
