Along with fully furnished interiors, the sale covers stocked kitchens and bars, luxury designer handbags from brands including Chanel, Dior and Hermès, as well as everyday household essentials.Stone Creek Ranch is regarded as one of South Florida’s most prestigious gated communities. According to Fox News Digital, the neighbourhood is guarded around the clock by former military veterans and Navy SEALs and is home to several prominent residents, including actor Mark Wahlberg, hedge fund billionaire Steve Cohen, Rockstar Energy founder Russ Weiner and NFL player Khalil Mack.Why Delray Beach is attracting wealthy buyersSenada Adzem, executive director at Douglas Elliman Florida and the listing agent for Villa Skyfall, told Fox News Digital that Delray Beach has emerged as an attractive alternative to Miami and Palm Beach for ultra-high-net-worth buyers seeking greater privacy.She said the city offers expansive estates, a quieter lifestyle and a highly secure environment, making it increasingly popular among wealthy individuals looking to relocate.The mansion was completed in just 14 months, considerably faster than the typical four to five years required to build estates of similar scale. Adzem attributed the quick turnaround to rising demand for fully furnished, turnkey luxury homes that require little or no additional work before occupancy.The listing has already drawn interest from entrepreneurs, finance professionals, technology founders and retirees relocating from high-tax states such as California, New York and Connecticut.According to Adzem, Florida’s zero state income tax, business-friendly policies and continued migration of affluent residents are helping sustain strong demand for ultra-luxury homes across South Florida.Despite concerns over rapidly rising luxury home prices, she said she remains confident about the long-term prospects of Florida’s high-end real estate market, citing continued wealth migration and steady demand from affluent buyers as key drivers of future growth.
