Bocasa, One of Boca Raton’s Finest Estates, is Offered at $10,850,000


This Magnificent Resort-style Compound is Offered by Christie’s International Real Estate Exclusive Affiliate Premier Estate Properties


One of Boca Raton’s finest estates, the magnificent Bocasa has been listed by Premier Estate Properties, the foremost brokerage company for high-end luxury real estate on Florida’s Gold Coast and an exclusive Affiliate of Christie’s International Real Estate. Commanding a prime position along the championship golf course of the illustrious Royal Palm Yacht and Country Club, the property is listed by Gerard Liguori, Joseph Liguori, and Carmen D'Angelo Jr., and is offered at US$10,850,000.
This one-of-a-kind trophy estate offers an unparalleled location across from the beautiful beach and Boca Raton Resort and Club with guard-gated seclusion amid a paradisiacal tropical landscape. Inspired by the majestic Italian Renaissance–style architecture and formal gardens of Miami's landmark Vizcaya estate, this newly built luxury compound was created under the direction of famed interior designer David Easton—one of Architectural Digest's AD 100 Designers.
Filigreed iron gates, a grand motor court, and a colonnaded courtyard are the grand introduction to this superlative residence. Sweeping across a prime double lot, the stunning estate interweaves indoor and outdoor living spaces amid sculpted Classical–style formal gardens. Elaborate custom details are lavished throughout this stately residence encompassing 18,466 square feet with nine bedrooms; and 11 full, and two half baths. A convergence of intimacy and grandeur, each room conveys its own unique character with many opening onto a series of terraces, which look out onto the sumptuous grounds. The aureate interiors are imbued with exceptional accents, such as antique stone, inlaid marble, imported wood floors, soaring ceilings, and state of the art features.
Leaded-glass doors lead from the courtyard into the central gallery, which reveals a regal double-height great room with inlaid marble floor, fireplace, leaded-glass windows, and French doors facing out to the gardens. The living room is appointed with a herringbone-patterned hardwood floor below an ornate trellis-molded ceiling complete with trompe l’oeil detailing. The banquet-sized formal dining room is styled with elegant custom built-ins and French doors. The showpiece chef's kitchen features Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Miele appliances, beautiful stone finishes, and a cross-beamed ceiling; while the breakfast area and family room enjoy access to a gorgeous poolside loggia. A grand foyer flowing from the main gallery showcases the stunning master suite, a luxuriant haven replete with a bedroom, terrace, sitting room, exercise room, his-and-her offices, and spa-like baths adorned in Crema Marfil marble and Jerusalem Gold limestone. Furthering Bocasa’s private quarters are two main floor staff suites, and six bedrooms on the upper floor highlighted by four suites overlooking the golf fairways.
Sensational garden terraces anchored by sparkling fountains frame Bocasa’s resort-style grounds. Among the stunning amenities are a secluded pool area with a mosaic-tiled spa under a beautiful pergola, and a cabana with a summer kitchen and full bath. A four-bay garage, elevator, impact-glass windows and exterior doors, a seven-zone HVAC, comprehensive Crestron electronics, and a whole-house generator further the splendor of this superlative offering.
