Designed in 2018 by Onshore Construction, the custom home is more than 12,000 square feet and features seven bedrooms, eight full bathrooms and two half bathrooms.

“It's all top-notch people that were involved in the making of this home, the design, the building,” said Gary Pohrer, a Douglas Elliman agent who listed the home last week. “The previous owners only used it a little, it is in drivable condition.” The seller could not immediately be reached for comment.

The home's entryway features marble floors, layered chandeliers, and a curved staircase. It opens to a study with a fireplace, floor-to-ceiling windows and a table that seats eight, according to listing photos. On the ground floor there is also a living room, a lounge with a bar and pool table, a kitchen, a cinema, an office and three bedrooms with private bathrooms.

Upstairs there is a large balcony, a study and four bedrooms with private bathrooms.

Decorated primarily in neutral tones, the mansion features wooden furniture, stone floors and tiled walls to create a modern yet simple design.

The small details, such as the patterned wallpaper in the bathrooms or the colorful colors in the bedroom, create a lively atmosphere throughout the house. Outdoor amenities include a large pool with attached spa, outdoor kitchen, outdoor seating area, and fire pit and pergola.

According to Pohrer, in addition to the 18-hole championship course, the community also offers residents a fitness center and great dining options.

Jupiter, home to fewer than 1,000 people, is one of the wealthiest communities in Florida. It is known not only for its luxurious beaches, laid-back atmosphere, world-class amenities and outdoor adventures, but also for its golf courses, which remain green year-round and attract some of golf's biggest names to relocate here permanently.

The heart of Jupiter is the famous 1860 lighthouse, which can be seen from some of the city's trendy spots, including the restaurants, shops and live entertainment areas.
