One of the most tightly held stretches of waterfront real estate in South Florida just gained a major celebrity listing.
Fox News host Sean Hannity has put his sprawling ocean-to-Intracoastal compound in Manalapan, Florida, on the market for $44.9 million, immediately placing it among the most high-profile offerings on what locals increasingly call “Billionaire Row.”
Located on the prohibitively expensive South Ocean Boulevard, the nearly two-acre estate spans the full width of the barrier island — with 150 feet of direct Atlantic Ocean frontage on one side and 150 feet along the Intracoastal Waterway on the other — a configuration so rare that only a handful of properties in the entire town share it.
The property is listed for $44.9 million with Nicholas P. Malinosky and Jessica L. Julian of Douglas Elliman, and ranks among the most high-profile offerings in Manalapan, one of the most tightly held waterfront markets in the country.
A true ocean-to-lake compound in one of Florida’s most exclusive towns
Manalapan sits just south of Palm Beach but operates in a different universe entirely. Inventory is microscopic, zoning is strict, and true ocean-to-Intracoastal parcels are almost never available.
This estate stretches from sunrise to sunset — Atlantic views and private beach access on the east, wide Intracoastal water vistas and dockage on the west — delivering the dual-water lifestyle that defines the very top tier of South Florida real estate.
The property spans roughly 1.85 acres, an enormous footprint for this stretch of coastline.
Purchased in 2024, now re-entering the market at nearly $45M
Past coverage shows Hannity purchased the Manalapan estate in November 2024 for $23.5 million, acquiring it through a trust.
The listing arrives just a short time later, as values in Manalapan have continued to surge and new construction in the area has reset pricing expectations. Brand-new ocean-to-lake estates nearby are now trading — or being offered — in the $85 million to $100 million range.
Against that backdrop, the property is positioned as a rare chance to enter one of the country’s most powerful micro-markets at a lower basis.
Nearly 20,000 square feet built for privacy and large-scale entertaining
The Mediterranean-style residence includes 11,953 square feet under air and 19,606 total square feet, with eight bedrooms, ten full bathrooms, and one half bath.
A long gated drive and porte-cochère entry lead to formal living and dining rooms with sweeping water views, while multiple casual living spaces open directly to terraces overlooking the Intracoastal.
Interiors framed by water views
Walls of glass and sliders keep the water visible from nearly every major room.
A rare combination of scale, flexibility, and long-term upside
Beyond celebrity ownership, what truly sets 1840 South Ocean Boulevard apart is optionality.
A buyer could move in immediately, renovate and customize, or plan an entirely new trophy estate. Notably, Manalapan allows — with approvals — the construction of a private tunnel beneath A1A, offering a fully enclosed connection between the ocean and Intracoastal sides of the property.
It’s a level of flexibility almost unheard of on Florida’s barrier islands.
A primary wing designed to capture both ocean and Intracoastal views
The first-floor primary suite functions as its own private wing, complete with a sitting area, walk-in closets, and water views on both sides of the island.
Set in its own wing, with a massive sitting area
Spanning the entire width of the house, the primary suite faces both the ocean and the Intracoastal, with a separate seating area with a fireplace, and two balconies.
And an ultra-luxe bathroom featuring a Roman tub and dual shower
The renovated primary bath includes dual showers, a Roman tub, and separate water closets, reflecting the scale expected at this level of the market.
Multiple staircases and an elevator connect the home’s levels, while a rooftop observation terrace adds yet another vantage point over the surrounding waterways.
A stylish home office is nearby
A stylish home office with built-in furniture, vaulted ceilings, and a private balcony provides a great space to work while taking in the water views.
Dual-water amenities: private beach house on one side, yacht dock on the other
On the ocean side, the estate includes a private beach house with its own living space, bedroom, bathroom, and a landscaped dune pathway providing direct access to the sand.
On the Intracoastal side, the property features a large dock with new seawall, capable of accommodating multiple yacht sizes, with easy access to nearby ocean inlets.
Few properties in Florida offer both experiences — private beachfront living and true boating infrastructure — without compromise.
Resort-style grounds framed by tropical landscaping
Outdoor spaces are designed around the Intracoastal side of the property, where a heated pool and spa overlook the water.
Wide lawns, manicured landscaping, and multi-level terraces create room for both quiet relaxation and large gatherings. A rooftop terrace with indoor wet bar adds another entertainment layer rarely seen in private residences.
Manalapan’s rise as South Florida’s quiet billionaire enclave
While Palm Beach remains the region’s most visible luxury address, Manalapan has quietly become one of its most powerful.
Larry Ellison has assembled a significant oceanfront portfolio in the town. Tony Robbins maintains a major waterfront estate nearby. Billy Joel has long been tied to the area’s luxury real estate scene.
With multiple trophy deals closing well north of $70 million in recent years, Manalapan’s transformation into a billionaire stronghold is no longer speculative, it’s fully underway.
One of the most compelling ocean-to-lake offerings in South Florida right now
With true dual-water frontage, nearly two acres of land, move-in-ready scale, and a location where replacement costs have skyrocketed, the estate stands out even among Manalapan’s elite inventory.
Whether viewed as a celebrity listing, a land-value play, or a long-term hold in one of America’s most exclusive coastal towns, this is a rare ocean-to-Intracoastal compound — and one that doesn’t come around often.
