The transaction is the latest move<\/a> in a sweeping real estate repositioning by the car mat billionaire, who has been quietly trading coastal Florida trophy properties while assembling what may become<\/a> one of the most ambitious private compounds on the Eastern Seaboard.<\/p>\n Spread across three levels and just over 11,700 square feet, this just-sold six-bedroom residence sits on a point lot inside the guard-gated Harbor Beach community, commanding nearly 300 feet of Intracoastal frontage.\u00a0<\/p>\n Inside there are soaring ceilings, marble and wood floors, four fireplaces, six wet bars, a commercial-grade elevator and a third-floor lounge that opens to sweeping water views.\u00a0<\/p>\n Outside sits a roughly 90-foot infinity-edge lap pool, sun terraces and a private dock with direct ocean access. The community also offers residents a private beach club, with Las Olas dining and yachting just minutes away.<\/p>\n The home spans three floors.

Brett Bass of Bass Realty and Investments represented the buyer.<\/p>\n \u201cIn this market, buyers move quickly on properties that check every box,\u201d Carroll told The Post.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Fort Lauderdale sale is essentially the closing chapter of MacNeil\u2019s life on the lower Gold Coast and the opening act of something much larger to the north.<\/p>\n Over the past two years, MacNeil has spent roughly $94 million assembling a rare ocean-to-Intracoastal assemblage in Manalapan, a small barrier island town 10 miles south of Palm Beach that has quietly become a magnet<\/a> for the ultra-wealthy.\u00a0<\/p>\n An ensuite bathroom.

Daniel Petroni \/ The Chad Carroll Group<\/p>\n The WeatherTech founder has been actively reshaping his real estate footprint along the coast, recently pouring about $94 million into a rare ocean-to-Intracoastal assemblage in Manalapan, which has become a landing pad for billionaires in recent years, including Larry Ellison.
