Fox News host Sean Hannity has put his sprawling ocean-to-Intracoastal complex in Manalapan, Florida, on the market for $44.9 million, instantly becoming one of the most high-profile listings on what locals are increasingly calling “Billionaire Row.”
Located on the prohibitively expensive South Ocean Boulevard, the nearly two-acre estate spans the entire width of the barrier island—with 160 feet of direct Atlantic Ocean on one side and 160 feet along the Intracoastal Waterway on the other—a configuration so rare that only a handful of properties in the entire city share it.
The property is for sale for $44.9 million with Nicholas P. Malinosky and Jessica L. Julian of Douglas Elliman, and is among the most high-profile listings in Manalapan, one of the best-occupied waterfront markets in the country.
A true ocean-to-lake complex in one of Florida’s most exclusive cities
Manalapan is located just south of Palm Beach, but operates in a completely different universe. The inventory is microscopic, the zoning regulations are strict, and true ocean-to-intracoastal lots are almost never available.
Stretching from sunrise to sunset – Atlantic Ocean views and private beach access to the east, broad Intracoastal water vistas and boat docks to the west – this estate delivers the dual-water lifestyle that defines the very highest level of South Florida real estate.
The property covers approximately 1.85 hectares, a huge footprint for this stretch of coastline.
Bought in 2024 and now re-entering the market for almost $45 million
Previous reporting indicates that Hannity purchased the Manalapan estate in November 2024 for $23.5 million through a trust.
The listing comes only a short time later as values in Manalapan have continued to rise and new construction in the area has reset price expectations. Brand new ocean-to-lake estates nearby are now trading (or offered) in the $85 million to $100 million range.
Against that backdrop, the property is positioned as a rare opportunity to enter one of the country’s most powerful micromarkets at a lower base.
Nearly 20,000 square feet built for privacy and large-scale entertainment
The Mediterranean-style residence spans 11,953 square feet under air and 19,606 total square feet, with eight bedrooms, ten bathrooms and a half bath.
A long gated driveway and porte-cochère entrance lead to formal living and dining rooms with sweeping water views, while multiple informal living areas open directly to terraces overlooking the Intracoastal.
Interiors framed by water views
Glass walls and sliders allow the water to be visible from almost every large room.
A rare combination of scale, flexibility and long-term benefits
In addition to celebrity ownership, what sets 1840 South Ocean Boulevard apart is its freedom of choice.
A buyer can move in immediately, renovate and customize, or plan an entirely new trophy estate. Notably, Manalapan is allowing – with approvals – the construction of a private tunnel under A1A, providing a fully enclosed connection between the ocean and the Intracoastal sides of the property.
It’s a level of flexibility that is almost unheard of on Florida’s barrier islands.
A primary wing designed to capture both ocean and coastal views
The primary suite on the first floor functions as its own private wing, complete with a sitting area, walk-in closets, and water views on both sides of the island.
Located in its own wing, with a huge seating area
The primary suite spans the entire width of the home and overlooks both the ocean and the Intracoastal, with a separate sitting area with fireplace and two balconies.
And an ultra-luxurious bathroom with a Roman bath and a double shower
The renovated master bath features dual showers, a Roman bath and separate toilets, reflecting the expected size at this market level.
Multiple stairs and an elevator connect the home’s levels, while a rooftop observation deck adds another vantage point over the surrounding waterways.
A stylish home office is nearby
A stylish home office with built-in furniture, vaulted ceilings and a private balcony provides a great space to work while enjoying the water views.
Dual water features: private beach house on one side, marina on the other
On the ocean side, the estate includes a private beach house with private living space, bedroom, bathroom and a landscaped dune path providing direct access to the sand.
On the Intracoastal side, the property features a large dock with a new seawall, suitable for multiple yacht sizes, with easy access to nearby ocean inlets.
Few properties in Florida offer both experiences – private beachfront living and real boating infrastructure – without compromise.
Resort style grounds surrounded by tropical landscaping
Outdoor spaces are designed around the Intracoastal side of the property, where a heated pool and spa overlook the water.
Wide lawns, manicured landscaping, and multi-level patios create space for both quiet relaxation and large gatherings. A rooftop deck with covered wet bar adds another layer of entertainment rarely seen in private homes.
Manalapan’s rise as South Florida’s quiet billionaire enclave
While Palm Beach remains the region’s most visible luxury address, Manalapan has quietly become one of the most powerful.
Larry Ellison has built a significant oceanfront portfolio in the city. Tony Robbins maintains a large waterfront estate nearby. Billy Joel has long been associated with the area’s luxury real estate scene.
With multiple trophy deals well over $70 million in recent years, Manalapan’s transformation into a billionaire stronghold is no longer speculative and is well underway.
One of the most attractive ocean to lake deals in South Florida right now
With true double water frontage, nearly two acres of land, a move-in ready scale, and a location where replacement costs have skyrocketed, the estate stands out even among Manalapan’s elite inventory.
Whether viewed as a celebrity listing, a land value play or a long-term investment in one of America’s most exclusive coastal towns, this is a rare ocean-to-Intracoastal connection – and one that doesn’t happen often.
