$24M mansion in Delray Beach, palm trees NOT included

This 11,500 sq ft residence sits inside one of the most expensive gated communities in Delray Beach, Florida.   Villa Ananda, as it’s called, is on the market for $24 million, and the price-tag puts the home at a price per square foot of almost $2,100, which is well beyond record-breaking territory in the exclusive Stone Creek Ranch neighborhood.  Interestingly, this Palm Beach County home does not include a single palm tree.  The owners chose to skip Florida’s ubiquitous vegetation and plant greenery across the estate that would make the residence feel less like a Florida mansion and more like a mega-villa in the Italian countryside.  

Sales of luxury homes in Delray Beach have seen a dramatic rise in price over the past five years with the average price per square foot more than doubling.
