Former pro boxer Mike Tyson bought a lakefront spec mansion in Delray Beach for $13 million.
Tyson and his wife, Lakiha, signed a purchase agreement for the 12,286-square-foot, six-bedroom and nine-bathroom mansion on El Caballo Court in Delray Beach, property records show.
Jonathan Schneider of Boca Raton-based Wimbledon Real Estate represented the Tysons. A Delray Beach-based company led by Joseph Creamer developed the estate. Creamer, an agent with Abigail Wapner Realty, also listed the property with Thomas DiBucci of Kingdom Living Properties Co.
The 2.7-acre property was recently completed. It includes an 80-foot pool and spa, covered terrace, a bass pond with a waterfall, a gym, four-car garage and more, according to the listing. Creamer paid $1.5 million for the land in December 2021. The house hit the market before it was completed in 2023 for nearly $17 million.
Schneider said the Tyson family “has been a valued client and friend for many years.”
Tyson, known as “Iron Mike” and “the King of the Ring” is considered one of the greatest heavyweight boxers of all time. He briefly came out of retirement last year to fight Jake Paul.
Tyson owns a mansion outside of Las Vegas, in Henderson, Nevada. The Tysons also own a cottage on an air strip in Delray Beach that they acquired last year for about $1.7 million, records show.
The Delray Beach spec mansion is in western Palm Beach County, where a handful of high-priced estates have traded in the past couple of years. In December, a retired tech CEO paid $36.8 million for the waterfront mansion at 16161 Quiet Vista Circle in the Stone Creek Ranch gated community, setting a record for Delray.
That deal beat the previous price record set in 2023, when a company linked to retail developer Cafaro Company paid $26 million for a lakefront mansion in the same neighborhood.
