The 434 S Maya Palm Drive Real Estate Trust bought the property in 2018 for $8.2 million and tore down the existing home, according to records. Construction for the current home started in the spring of 2019 and finished this year.

The new 9,562-square-foot mansion had an asking price of $14 million in February. David W. Roberts with Royal Palm Properties represented the seller, while Mitch Greenberg of BEX Realty represented Bondy.

The two-story waterfront mansion has six bedrooms, seven full bathrooms and two half-bathrooms, two two-car garages, a pool and a “yacht-ready” dock, according to the listing.

Other recent Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club deals include a pharmaceutical executive buying a spec home for $6 million, a financier couple spending $12 million on a mansion, and a billionaire businesswoman paying $15.9 million for a mansion.
