A mansion in Hillsboro Beach has sold for $42 million, the largest deal for the small South Florida<\/a> town in nearly a decade.<\/p>\n

The sale of the beachfront home nearly set a record. In 2018, a nearby property known as Playa Vista Isle sold for $42.5 million at auction. Both Play Vista Isle and the recently sold property comprised a mansion and a neighboring vacant lot.<\/p>\n

Located in Broward County near Pompano Beach, Hillsboro Beach is made up of a 3.2-mile strip along the coastal highway of A1A that\u2019s often referred to as \u201cMillionaires\u2019 Mile,\u201d as it\u2019s lined with luxury waterfront homes. This property spans both sides of A1A, giving it frontage\u2014and buildable land\u2014on both the oceanfront and along the Intracoastal Waterway.<\/p>\n

The seller initially listed the home\u00a0in December for $59.95 million<\/a>, which made it the most expensive property on Hillsboro Beach\u2019s market at the time. A price cut brought the ask down to $54.5 million in February, and it found a buyer in mid-June. The sale closed on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The seller owned the home through a trust and couldn\u2019t be identified. They bought the property when the 10,100-square-foot, seven-bedroom home was newly built in 2021 for $20 million, records show, then completely renovated it despite it being brand new.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey wanted to elevate the finishes\u2026They decided to start with a little bit of renovation on the first floor, but as they got involved, it ended up being a full-scale renovation,\u201d listing agent Chad Carroll of the Chad Carroll Group at Compass previously told Mansion Global. He declined to comment on the sale.<\/p>\n

The buyer is Mason Slaine, a former CEO of Thomson Financial (now Thomson Reuters) and the vice chair of the Boca Raton Regional Hospital Foundation\u2019s board of directors.<\/p>\n

Slaine saw an opportunity in the rareness of the property having frontage along both the beach and the Intracoastal, as well as in the property\u2019s 2.35 acres, providing room to expand.<\/p>\n

\u201cHouses on the beach in South Florida don\u2019t come on the market very much,\u201d Slaine said. \u201cIt\u2019s like buying a rare painting\u2014when they come up for sale, if you don\u2019t buy it, you\u2019ll have to wait another five or 10 years and pay three times as much, so that\u2019s why I grabbed it.\u201d Slaine is also an operating partner at Boston-based private equity firm Advent International and executive chairman at the patent intelligence company Minesoft.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s increasingly difficult to find an oceanfront property that delivers this level of privacy while also offering unobstructed views from the Atlantic Ocean to the Intracoastal Waterway,\u201d said buyer\u2019s agent Senada Ad\u017eem of Douglas Elliman.<\/p>\n

Slaine said he and his wife, Daniele, will likely build a guest house on the Intracoastal side of the property.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cOn the main land, we\u2019re going to plan a really big party, so we\u2019re not going to do anything in terms of building until after that,\u201d he said. \u201cWe might put a tennis court in and maybe a little three-hole golf course.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hillsboro Beach was attractive to Slaine given its proximity to Boca Raton, as he remains active in the community\u2019s philanthropy, specifically at the hospital. In Boca, the only beachfront residential offerings are condos, and there wasn\u2019t anything available in neighboring Delray Beach or Highland Beach that matched what they were looking for.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was the only house that had all the things we wanted,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s about a 10-minute drive to my present house, so it worked in that respect, too.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
