A spec home developer sold a newly built mansion in Boca Raton’s Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club for $7.8 million.

Records show Carl E. Klepper Jr., as trustee of the 1739 Royal Palm Land Trust, sold the house at 1739 Royal Palm Way in Boca Raton to Jerry and Sharon Isackson. The Isacksons are the founders of Bryan Ashley International, a Deerfield Beach-based furniture company that makes custom furnishings for hotels and resorts, according to its website.

Klepper is the owner of Compson Associates, according to his Linkedin page. The Boca Raton-based firm develops, owns, operates and manages properties in South Florida.

Klepper bought the property in 2018 for $2 million and demolished the existing home the following year. According to Redfin.com, the new house was completed this year.
