Wow! The entire time I was looking at the pictures I kept wondering, who owns this??!!! So I did some digging. It is owned by Princess Yonenga Properties. So who owns that? French-born, Dubai based real estate developer, Blaise Carroz and Marata Tapsoba Carroz. The home has an interesting history of owners. They purchased it from Hugh Fuller, a champion powerboat racer. It was also owned by the inventor of black paint that was used on Model T Fords and British Formula 1 driver Nigel Mansell.
This property has a three bedroom/three bathroom guest house. It has two pools, tennis courts, ballroom, wine cellar, movie theatre, a waterfront promenade, a sixty foot covered dock with boat lift, terraced gardens and a historic bell tower. Sixteen bedrooms, twenty bathrooms, and 21,758 square feet. $13,900,000
