A Mediterranean-style waterfront palace originally commissioned for NASCAR great Jeff Gordon raised the bar when it was sold last month for $36 million.
Inspired by the luxurious resorts in Cap d’Antibes, the estate offers 24,468 square feet of lavishly designed living space and 120 feet of beach frontage.
Gordon purchased a 1-acre parcel in 1996 for $2.4 million and built the estate in 1999. Fittingly for a NASCAR great, there’s a tree-lined motor court that can accommodate 20 vehicles and a covered garage for seven additional cars.
Gordon sold the eight-bed, 11-bath property in 2003 for $13.3 million, and it’s changed hands a couple of times over the years, most recently in 2014 for $12.5 million.
The buyer in 2014 was also a car enthusiast, and he added an entire wing with an auto museum to showcase six very special cars.
