"The key feature that most attracted the buyer to this property was the rarity of finding a one-acre lot within a five-star gated community," Pierlusi said.
While she declined to share further details about the owner, Pierlusi said that they own a property in San Juan and intend to use their new place in Dorado Beach as a second home.
That's also pretty standard for homeowners in the neighborhood, she said.
"I wouldn't compare it to Beverly Hills necessarily, except for the fact that both are highly desirable locations offering the most expensive real estate in their respective states," Pierlusi added. "Celebrities, notable entrepreneurs, renowned athletes, local families, and the who's who of the island frequent or live here."
The open-plan layout stretches over four levels.On the ground floor, the airy interior features a sitting room connecting to a dining area and open-plan kitchen.
"Some elements of the interiors of the home, the spaciousness and smart layout, as well as the privacy offered by the large acreage, were significant factors in the decision-making process," Pierlusi said of the new owner.
She said the buyer also kept all of the furniture in the home, including paintings, sofas, beds, and tables, as part of the sale. "The home was sold turn-key."
The kitchen has easy access to the surrounding patio and garden.Like any other property in Dorado Beach, one of only two ultra-luxury resorts operating on the island, the new owner can explore the 2,000-acre reserve by walking or driving along its network of golf cart trails.
Originally built by the Rockefellers in the 1950s, the reserve was bought by Ritz-Carlton in 2012 and now boasts a five-star hotel. It sits within one of the priciest neighborhoods in Puerto Rico.
According to Realtor.com, the median listing price in Dorado is $2.4 million, over double that for homes in San Juan.
