after an extended period on the market. The luxurious estate, located in the exclusive community of Manalapan near Palm Beach, had been listed for several years as Joel sought the perfect buyer for the breathtaking property.
The sale, finalized earlier this week, reportedly came after a price adjustment and renewed interest in Florida’s booming real estate market. The mansion, originally listed for $64 million, is a sprawling oceanfront compound featuring seven bedrooms, a state-of-the-art recording studio, and unparalleled views of the Atlantic Ocean.
Sources close to the transaction suggest that Joel, known for hits like Piano Man and Uptown Girl, was motivated to sell due to a desire to simplify his real estate portfolio and spend more time at his Long Island home, closer to his roots and family.
The buyer, whose identity remains private, is believed to be a business magnate captivated by the mansion’s blend of timeless elegance and modern luxury. The estate’s signature features, including a 500-foot private beach, lagoon-style pool, and lush tropical landscaping, were significant draws for the new owner.
Joel’s departure from the Florida property marks the end of an era for the iconic musician, who purchased the estate in 2014. Fans, however, can rest assured that the piano man isn’t stepping away from his craft, as he continues to perform sold-out shows worldwide.
With this sale, Joel joins a growing trend of high-profile celebrities reshuffling their real estate portfolios in the Sunshine State, underscoring Florida’s enduring appeal as a haven for luxury living.
