Actor Mark Wahlberg is moving his family even further afield from Hollywood.
The Academy Award nominee and entrepreneur just purchased a $37 million lakefront estate in one of South Florida’s most exclusive enclaves. Wahlberg and his wife, Rhea Durham, left behind California in 2022 for Las Vegas.
Reasons for Wahlberg’s most recent move are unclear, but the family’s new digs come with a uniquely high level of privacy, massive lot sizes and easy access to all the high-end attractions of Palm Beach.

Wahlberg’s newly renovated home, dubbed Palazzo di Lago, is located in Stone Creek Ranch. Located west of Delray Beach, the gated haven lures in high-end buyers with the promise of privacy and exclusivity. The 187-acre enclave has even earned the local moniker of “Billionaires’ Row,” and counts New York Mets owner Steve Cohen among its few residents.
The contemporary Italian mansion snapped up by Wahlberg and co. was renovated by developer Aldo Stark of the firm of Prestige Design Home. The property sits on 2.5 lakefront acres and boasts roughly 18,000 square feet of interiors.
County records indicate Wahlberg paid roughly $32.6 million for the property. Furniture included in the deal rounded out the rest of its $37 million price tag. Stark was represented by Seanda Adžem of Douglas Elliman. Michael Costello of Compass represented Wahlberg.
Costello declined to share client details with The Post, but emphasized the sought-after perks of Stony Creek Ranch.

“It’s definitely rare, finding communities that have this security and this acreage,” Costello told The Post.
Stark’s bespoke project was initially listed for $45 million in March, with marketing materials dubbing the compound “a cinematic fusion of Lake Como romance and Florida grandeur,” declaring it “infused with the seductive allure of Bond’s Casino Royale.”
The aesthetic approach is on trend with Stark’s other recent trophy homes sold in the area, including the “Ferrari House,” which broke a Delray Beach record this year when it traded for $50.5 million sale.

Palazzo di Lago’s grand salon features 30-foot ceilings with crystal chandeliers and glass walls. Spaces for entertaining include a club room and a home theater, while a “wellness wing” features a gym, a sauna, and a massage room. Outdoor attractions include a tennis court, a saltwater lagoon pool and an oversized chess board.

The Wahlberg family moved to Las Vegas in 2022, selling their Beverly Hills megamansion the next year for $55 million. The estate most recently traded to Paris Hilton in June for $63 million.

Wahlberg told “The Talk” around the time of his move that he aimed to turn the desert city into “Hollywood 2.0,” given the right legislation and tax credits. His move attracted investment interest – the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported in 2024 that a $1.8 billion Sony movie studio and mixed-use development backed by Wahlberg was headed to the area.
A 2024 interview with People Magazine saw the Wahlberg family happily settled in Nevada.
“It’s a place where my kids can thrive and do their thing and pursue their interests,” Wahlberg told the outlet, going on to cite his kid’s interests in equestrian sports and golf.
Wahlberg appears all-in on the Sunshine State now – his vacant plot in a wealthy Las Vegas community sold for more than $17 million earlier this year, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Whether Wahlberg is planning to relocate his “Hollywood 2.0” ambitions to the Palm Beach area is unclear, but the locale does offer proximity to equestrian hot-spot Wellington and large golf courses.
