Rebecca and Tonio Arcaini sold their oceanfront Manalapan estate for $35.1 million.
Records show the couple sold the mansion at 1280 South Ocean Boulevard to the same Delaware entity, Pitchoune Life, that bought the lot next door for $27.5 million in January. It brings the mystery buyer’s total spend to $62.6 million for a 2.6-acre assemblage.
Gary Pohrer had the listing, and Marine Rollins with Miami Global Realty brought the buyer. Pohrer also had the listing for the adjacent lot, and Rollins also represented the buyer in that deal.
Rollins is the wife of cosmetic surgeon Dr. Aaron Rollins. Last month, the couple sold their Indian Creek Island estate in Miami to Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan for $170 million.
Tonio Arcaini is an Italy-born, Germany-raised businessman and consultant and the founder of German food additive company TA-XAN AG.
Records show the couple’s trust bought the 1.3-acre ocean-to-lake Manalapan estate in 2003 for $5.9 million. They built the 15,900-square-foot mansion in 2007. It has eight bedrooms, 13 bathrooms, four half-bathrooms and a two-bedroom guest house, records and the listing show. The estate includes a theater, wine cellar, pub, and wellness center with a gym, sauna and massage room, the listing shows.
The Arcainis listed the estate for $56 million in May of last year, and subsequently dropped the price three times, Zillow shows.
The couple listed their mailing address on the deed as 1422 Southeast Atlantic Drive, the nearby spec mansion developed by homebuilder Joe Farrell that went pending for $19.9 million last month.
Manalapan has seen a flurry of dealmaking in recent weeks. Winter and spring are the busy season for South Florida’s luxury real estate market, and agents say buyers are showing strong appetite for large, waterfront properties. Earlier this month, Frank and Dolores Mennella bought a 1.5-acre ocean-to-lake estate for $51.7 million, a year after dropping a record $48 million on a mansion in Jupiter’s gated Bear’s Club community. In December, billionaire optometrist Dr. Herbert Wertheim paid $65 million for a 28,000-square-foot oceanfront mansion.
