Fort Lauderdale, FL—spring break central—is home to this week’s priciest new property on realtor.com®. The waterfront retreat just hit the market for $32 million.

The 16,022-square-foot gated estate makes for a luxury vacation getaway no matter the season. Built in 2007, the newly redesigned home offers 500 feet of waterfront, along with 2 acres of landscaped gardens designed by Miami-based landscape architect Raymond Jungles.

Not only is it the most expensive listing in the sunny city, it’s also the largest parcel of available land for a single-family home, according to listing agent Dennis Stevick.

In addition to a “multimillion-dollar landscape project,” the interiors were reworked Stevick says. “Almost 80% of the rooms have changed to give it a more coastal look.”

The eight-bedroom, 11-bath home comes with plenty of top-notch amenities, including a media room, wine cellar, elevator, club room with a bar, and a sunroom. There are also a six-bay garage, two docks, a two-bedroom guesthouse, and a captain’s one-bed, one-bath quarters.

High-end finishes include wood flooring, onyx and granite counters, handcrafted ceiling beams, and custom chandeliers. Spectacular water views are available in most rooms of the house.

Property records show Donald K. and Rebecca M. McKinney purchased the site in 1999 for $3.2 million, according to the Real Deal.

The home was listed in 2011 for the same price, according to public records. Stevick says the owners had a change of heart at the time and took it off the market. Now that the owners have decided to make their home on the other coast, they’ve relisted it. Perhaps this time on the market will be the charm.

Buyers will likely be tempted by the property’s secluded yet centrally convenient location. It’s just minutes to downtown and “your personal jet,” as the listing states. Fuel up your Gulfstream, and set a path for Fort Lauderdale.
