Dream of living like a billionaire? Part of that plan probably involves a wildly extravagant property. Well, there’s no time like the present to get into something fantastically fancy — with a price tag to match!

Ultra-luxury real estate had a strong year in 2025, with coastal properties commanding record prices. Here are the biggest residential deals that closed this year so far.

$133 Million Naples Beachfront Compound

The top sale of 2025 went to a beachfront estate at 2200 Gordon Dr. in Naples, Florida, which closed for $133 million in April. The waterfront compound represents the highest-priced residential transaction in the U.S. this year.

Naples has become a major destination for ultra-wealthy buyers looking for Florida’s Gulf Coast lifestyle without the Miami scene. The area offers privacy, low taxes and access to world-class beaches.

$110 Million Bel Air Estate

Tied for second place, a Bel Air property at 630 Nimes Rd. in Los Angeles sold for $110 million in May. The neighborhood has long been one of Los Angeles’ most exclusive enclaves, home to entertainment executives, tech founders and old money families.

Bel Air properties at this price point typically sit on multiple acres with extensive amenities like tennis courts, pools, guest houses and views stretching from downtown to the Pacific Ocean.

$110 Million Holmby Hills Mansion

Also fetching $110 million, an estate at 594 S. Mapleton Dr. in Holmby Hills closed in July. Holmby Hills sits between Bel Air and Beverly Hills in Los Angeles’ Platinum Triangle, known for some of the largest and most expensive homes in California.

Mapleton Drive is particularly prestigious, with sprawling estates on oversized lots that rarely come to market. Properties here often stay in families for generations before changing hands.

$85 Million Silicon Valley Historic Manse

The historic Green Gables estate in Woodside sold for $85 million in September 2025, making it the Bay Area’s most expensive property sale of the year and marking the first ownership change in its 114-year history.

This 74-acre compound features seven buildings with 34 bedrooms, a football field-sized Roman pool, equestrian facilities and gardens designed by legendary architects including Greene and Greene, William Wurster and Thomas Church. The property was originally built for banking magnate Mortimer Fleishhacker Sr., is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and, interestingly, housed Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes during her criminal trial.

$74.3 Million Miami Beach Oceanfront

A Miami Beach estate at 88 La Gorce Cir. sold for $74.3 million in April. La Gorce Island is one of Miami Beach’s most exclusive neighborhoods, with its direct ocean access and privacy despite being minutes from South Beach.

Florida continues dominating the ultra-luxury market despite rising insurance costs and climate concerns. Of course, wealthy buyers have the resources to absorb these risks or rebuild if necessary.

$65.8 Million Kahala Oceanfront Estate

Rounding out the top six, a Honolulu property at 4823 Kahala Ave. closed for $65.8 million in March. Kahala is Oahu’s most prestigious neighborhood, known for oceanfront estates and celebrity residents.

Hawaii’s limited inventory of beachfront land keeps prices elevated. Properties in Kahala rarely hit the market, and when they do, they command simply enormous prices from buyers seeking island privacy.

The Takeaway

California and Florida dominated 2025’s most expensive sales, accounting for eight of the top 10 transactions so far. Every property on Redfin’s list sold for more than $55 million, showing continued strength in the ultra-luxury market despite economic uncertainty affecting lower price points.

Beverly Hills saw some especially strong activity, with Rick Caruso’s former estate at 912 Benedict Canyon Dr. selling for $47.5 million in August, leading that month’s sales but falling short of the year’s top tier.
