Inside Sylvester Stallone’s Newly Renovated Palm Beach Estate
When it comes to packing up and moving to one of Florida’s finer ZIP codes, Sylvester Stallone was ahead of the current trend, scooping up an estate facing the Intracoastal Waterway near the northern tip of Palm Beach almost five years ago.
After settling in and getting to know the ins and outs of the place, Stone and his wife, Jennifer Flavin, who plunked down nearly $35.5 million for the slightly more than one-acre spread, have recently completed a 10-month overhaul with RWB Construction Management handling the building and South Florida’s Marc-Michaels Interior Design teaming up with English designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard on the interiors.
While dazzling bits of Hollywood glamour are peppered throughout, at its core, this is a family home that lends itself to a relaxed lifestyle jampacked with friends and pets. Furnishings are intentionally sturdy and swaddled in luxe but hardy fabrics to withstand spills and sandy paws. Also prioritized was creating an appropriate backdrop for the couple’s always-in-rotation collection of contemporary art. Here, there are Damian Hirsts and Andy Warhols hanging on the walls, while dog toys are scattered on the floor and bare feet are propped up on coffee tables.
Furnishings throughout the 13,000-square-foot home are plush, comfortable, and pet-friendly.

Customizations include a gleaming walk-in wet bar with several climate-controlled glass cases for storing and displaying wine and, for the famous cigar aficionado, a glass-fronted humidor. Elsewhere, a state-of-the-art home cinema is decked out with acoustics and technology that rival a studio screening room, and in the club room, a trio of Oscars won by the original 1976 film Rocky, which made Stallone an international icon, stands with other industry accolades on a flannel-grey carved stone fireplace set against a wall upholstered in rivet-lined caramel leather.
Stone and Flavin’s three daughters are all in their 20s now (Stallone has two older sons, one who died in 2012 of heart disease), and the sprawling home allows the entire Stallone clan (and more) to comfortably gather en masse for both special occasions and not-so-special occasions.
The Flemish Revival compound spans several buildings capped by distinctive crow-stepped gables. Surrounding the keyhole-shaped pool are the two-story main house that opens to ocean-facing verandas, an open-air pavilion with a fireplace, and a freestanding guest suite. A separate guesthouse is positioned in a lush garden of its own with direct beach access. In all, seven bedrooms and 10 baths, plus a couple of powder rooms, are sprinkled across the property.

Plush lawns and thickets of towering palms unite the various structures, while a demilune hot tub faces the water alongside a stone terrace that steps down to the estate’s private 250-plus-foot crescent beach. Off to the side is a private dock for getting out on the water.
Stallone and Flavin have made several significant real estate moves over the last few years. They sold their longtime Beverly Hills estate in 2022 for $58 million to Adele, who proceeded to practically tear the whole thing down before rebuilding it more to her liking, and the following year they took a $1 mllion loss when musician John Fogerty paid $17 million for a contemporary farmhouse-style mansion they briefly owned in the star-studded Hidden Hills community in L.A.’s northwestern suburbs. And then, last year, the Tulsa King star ponied up $25 million in cash for an elegantly appointed turnkey residence in the Hamptons.

A Rockstar’s Balinese-Style Florida Retreat Hits the Market for $1.75 Million
If you’ve ever wanted to come sail away without leaving the U.S., Chuck Panozzo, co-founder and bassist of Styx, has you covered. His private tropical retreat in Florida is now on the market for $1.75 million with Juan Zapata and Susan Rindley of ONE Sotheby’s International Realty.
Aptly christened La Serenidad or “Serenity” in English, the one-of-a-kind oasis is located in the artsy Wilton Manors neighborhood near Fort Lauderdale. Panozzo picked it up in 2007 for $305,000 and has spent the years since transforming it into what he describes as his “personal sanctuary.” “When I open the door and cross the koi pond, I know I’m safe and at home,” he told New York Post‘s Gimme Shelter. Each corner of the property, he says, was designed with a different state of mind in mind, with quiet spots to relax after a long tour, secluded nooks for reflection, and open spaces to crank up the volume and jam with friends.

Koi ponds flank the front entrance to the home.

The home, built in 1952, feels more like a Balinese resort than a typical Broward County pad. Measuring just over 1,600 square feet, the abode is outfitted with two bedrooms, a home office that could easily be a third bedroom, and three bathrooms. Warm wood finishes and custom craftsmanship give the interiors a grounded, serene energy, while the open layout creates a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Slide open the doors, and the living room becomes an extension of the lush garden beyond.
That garden is where La Serenidad truly lives up to its name. Coral-lined walkways curve past tranquil koi ponds and gently splashing fountains. Teak sculptures peek from behind greenery, while bonsai and Ashoka trees add texture and height. There are even whimsical animal-shaped hedges to discover.

The pool area includes Bali-inspired shaded gazebos.

The outdoor areas are designed like a choose-your-own-adventure for zen: a shaded gazebo perfect for meditating, tucked-away corners for reading, and sunny poolside spots for entertaining. Most of the art and sculptures are included in the sale, making it easy to preserve the home’s unique character.
A founding member of Styx—known for hits like “Babe,” “Lady,” and “Mr. Roboto”—Panozzo still actively tours with the band. But after more than 15 years in this tropical hideaway, he’s ready for a change of scenery. “I’ve lived in high-rises in Chicago and Miami, and I realize it’s best for me to return to the sky,” he told Gimme Shelter. He plans to move into a new luxury building in downtown Fort Lauderdale, closer to the city’s growing arts and culture scene.
For the right buyer, La Serenidad offers exactly what its name promises: a harmonious blend of peace, privacy, and just enough rock-and-roll spirit to keep life interesting.

Robbie Williams Dropped $40 Million for the Miami Mansion of a Former ‘Real Housewives’ Star
Attorney Anthony Lopez and his fiancée, Dr. Nicole Martin, an anesthesiologist and former Real Housewives of Miami cast member, have offloaded their fully reimagined waterfront estate in Coral Gables in a $40 million off-market deal. They were represented in the transaction by Dennis Carvajal of ONE Sotheby’s International Realty.
The buyer, represented by Chad Carroll of Compass, is none other than British music superstar Robbie Williams, who reportedly plans to relocate his family of six to Florida following the sale of his Beverly Hills mansion to Drake for $75 million.
Lopez and Martin purchased the one-acre peninsula property in the prestigious Old Cutler Bay enclave in 2022 for $21.5 million and then spent two years gut-renovating the residence, which was prominently featured on the popular Bravo franchise. Their transformation, along with Florida’s electrified ultra-high-end real estate market, more than doubled the value of the home and set a new benchmark for the exclusive waterfront neighborhood, landing at roughly $5,000 per square foot.

The 19,380-square-foot smart home currently has seven bedrooms, seven full bathrooms, and two powder rooms. Interior spaces are designed for both everyday living and large-scale entertaining, with a chef’s kitchen equipped with three Sub-Zero fridge/freezers, a movie room, a gym and a massage suite, a bar, and a temperature-controlled wine cellar. A resort-style pool, fire pit, pizza oven, cabana bath, and summer kitchen sit at the edge of the peninsula, which offers 435 feet of water frontage and a 75-foot dock. A custom-lit 18-car garage rounds out the amenities.
But Williams isn’t just moving in and leaving things be; he’s expanding. According to The New York Post, the English pop star tapped developer Manny Angelo Varas, known as “The Billionaire’s Builder,” to oversee a multi-million-dollar addition that includes a 2,000-square-foot guest pavilion with the potential for a recording studio. Among the unique features being explored is a floating padel court, which, if approved, would be the first of its kind at a U.S. residence.

Perched on a private peninsula of about one acre, the estate presides over 435 feet of water frontage.

It’s a “different lifestyle,” Varas said of Williams’s move from California to Miami, noting that safety, taxes, and quality of life are among the reasons high-profile clients are increasingly opting for South Florida. Initially, Williams considered purchasing Rosie O’Donnell’s former home on Star Island, but concerns over flood codes pushed him toward Old Cutler Bay.
The couple has steadily built and strategically offloaded a small portfolio of high-end Miami real estate, and the monumental recent sale isn’t Lopez and Martin’s first headline-grabbing deal. In 2022, they sold a nearby Coral Gables estate to Jeff Bezos’s mother for $44 million, and in 2021, they dropped $7.5 million for a condo on ultra-exclusive Fisher Island. Records show Lopez also owns two smaller homes in Coral Gables, likely held as investments, rentals, or housing for family or staff. Still, letting go of the Old Cutler Bay estate was a tough call. “It was one of those offers that felt irresponsible to say no to,” Lopez told The Real Deal.

Former MLB All-Star Yoenis Céspedes Is Selling His 380-Acre Florida Ranch for $30 Million
Whether you’re taking part in MLB’s spring training or you just want to be close to the action, a recently listed ranch property on Florida‘s east coast is a true home run.
The Port St. Lucie manse, about 60 miles north of Palm Beach and 120 miles south of Orlando, was custom-built back in 2018 by baseball player Yoenis Céspedes, an MLB All-Star and a two-time Home Run Derby champ. Known to his fans as “La Potencia,” or “The Power,” Céspedes named the 378-acre estate after himself—La Potencia II. While he enjoyed the rural spread for almost a decade, Céspedes is now bringing it to market for $30 million, with Julian Johnston and Lina Agosto at the Corcoran Group holding the listing.
An at-home batting cage is a must for any former or aspiring MLB All-Star.
Immersive Media
The massive acreage functions as both an equestrian and hunting compound. Among the grounds, you’ll find a 12-stall horse stable with training yards. Wild boar and other game animals are known to frequent the land, and there’s a full game processing facility on site. And while Céspedes may have enjoyed some of these pastimes after his professional playing career, he didn’t give up baseball completely: the home is equipped with a state-of-the-art batting cage for practicing your swing.
The centerpiece of the property is the 15,785-square-foot main residence, which includes six bedrooms and four full baths. The ranch aesthetic is prevalent inside, with soaring ceilings and a massive stone fireplace anchoring the living room. More modern touches are found in the spacious chef’s kitchen and with an onyx bar.
The 12-stable barn sits amid training yards and fenced pastures.

Outside, there’s a large resort-style pool, which is both heated and covered. The screened-in patio has plenty of space for laid-back hangs and meals, with a full summer kitchen for easy prep. And while there are classic add-ons like a gym and a game/club room, Céspedes added one more special touch suited to his lifestyle—a private barber shop.
When it comes to real estate, the former Mets star is in good company, with many former MLBers opting to spend their retirements in sunny locales. For example, Hall of Fame pitcher Greg Maddux spun his home in San Diego on the market for a cool $4 million, and Red Sox legend David Ortiz is parting ways with his custom-built Miami mansion for $11.5 million.

Baseball Great David Ortiz Just Scooped Up a Condo at Miami’s ORA by Casa Tua
Baseball icon David “Big Papi” Ortiz just made a power move off the field—straight into the Miami real estate headlines. The Boston Red Sox legend has snapped up a new home at ORA by Casa Tua, the first-ever branded residence from the team behind the buzzy, members-only Casa Tua club and restaurant. Developed by Fortune International Group in partnership with Casa Tua’s founder Miky Grendene, the towering glass stunner is set to rise 77 stories above Brickell Avenue.
Ortiz—who won three World Series titles with the Sox and remains one of the most beloved sluggers in MLB history—was all smiles as he posed at the sales gallery with his broker, Sheila Rosario Davey of Fortune International Realty. Davey marked the moment on Instagram, sharing a shot of the Hall of Famer alongside fellow agent Jennifer Bautista.

Though details of Ortiz’s exact unit and purchase price remain under wraps, three-bedroom residences at ORA—ranging from approximately 2,300 square feet with expansive terraces—are currently priced between $3.35 million and $3.75 million, offering a sense of what buyers at his level might expect.
Known for his outsized charisma, Ortiz was reportedly drawn to ORA’s blend of luxury, lifestyle, and culinary flair. True to Casa Tua’s brand, the building leans heavily into food and community, with four on-site restaurants—Terra, Uva, Fuoco, and Vento—designed to bring guests and residents together around the table.

Scheduled for completion in 2029, the Arquitectonica-designed tower will comprise 533 fully furnished residences and allow for short-term rentals. Naturally, the amenity lineup reads like a five-star resort: a 12th-floor pool deck, hammam-equipped wellness center, co-working spaces, and a rooftop bar and lounge with sweeping views of Biscayne Bay. There’s even a three-story sky garden and interiors by Milan-based m2atelier.
Meanwhile, one of Ortiz’s former homes is back in the spotlight. The five-bedroom, eight-bathroom Pinecrest estate he custom-built in 2019 has just returned to the market with an $11.5 million price tag. Listed with Dennis Carvajal of One Sotheby’s International Realty, the striking modern compound features everything from an Officine Gullo kitchen to a sports lounge with nine flat-screen TVs—and it still holds the title for the upscale neighborhood’s record high sale price. Big Papi knows how to pick ’em.

Red Sox Legend David Ortiz’s Former Miami Mansion Lists for $11.5 Million
Major League Baseball great David Ortiz—better known as “Big Papi”—is back in Miami real estate headlines. The former first baseman’s former North Pinecrest estate, a modern showpiece packed with luxury perks, has just returned to the market with an $11.5 million price tag. The current listing is held by Dennis Carvajal with One Sotheby’s International Realty.
Ortiz, who retired from MLB in 2016 after a decorated career with the Boston Red Sox that included 10 All-Star appearances and three World Series titles, originally purchased the land in 2016 for $1.5 million and completed construction on the home in 2019. In early 2023, he listed the custom-built estate for $12.5 million, and by June of that year, it had sold for nearly $10.6 million—a record-breaking deal for Pinecrest, the Wall Street Journal reported at the time. The sale narrowly beat out the previous high of $10.5 million, set in 2022 when Miami Heat star Tyler Herro picked up a snazzy home in the same neighborhood.

Tucked behind gates on more than an acre of landscaped grounds, the five-bedroom, eight-bathroom residence spans just over 10,000 square feet and is designed with both visual drama and plush comfort in mind. Fire and water features welcome you at the entrance, setting the tone for a home that blends high-impact design with laid-back vibes.
Floor-to-ceiling glass walls flood the interiors with great volumes of light and make for seamless connections to the tropically planted backyard. At the heart of the home is an Italian Officine Gullo kitchen with a walk-in pantry—equal parts gourmet and gallery-worthy. Upstairs, four bi-level bedrooms each have individual sitting areas. The primary suite offers a boutique-style closet, spa-like bath with a floating tub, and, at 16 feet long, a shower plenty big enough to easily accommodate a professional athlete.

Ortiz made sure the home didn’t skimp on fun, either. There’s a high-tech home theater with recliners and a wet bar, plus a custom-built sports lounge complete with a wall of nine flat-screen TVs—perfect for catching every angle of the game.
Out back, the resort-style amenities continue with a pool, spa, summer kitchen, multiple covered terraces, a gazebo, and three fire pits. Located near top-rated schools and some of the city’s most prestigious addresses, the estate is a home run for anyone looking to live large in Miami.
