Jeff Gordon’s former Boca Raton Manse is up for sale for $42 million

UPDATE November 15, 2021, 9:05 a.m.: The former Boca Raton mansion of NASCAR Hall of Famer Jeff Gordon is on the market for $42 million, complete with a 20-car auto lot and automobile museum.

Gordon owned the 16,500 square foot mansion from 1997 to 2003, at the height of his career when he won three of his four NASCAR Cup Series championships. He sold the home for $13.3 million and it was on and off the market between 2009 and 2014, asking for between $20.9 million and $15.5 million, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Hamister Group founder Mark Hamister, who died earlier this year, bought it for $12.5 million in 2014. His son, Hamister CEO Daniel Hamister, owns it.

The seven-bedroom home has a mix of Mediterranean flair and contemporary features, including a bank of double-height windows in the main living area that overlooks the Atlantic Ocean.

A listing by Joseph Liguori of Premier Estate Properties Inc. describes the home as inspired by the Cap d’Antibes region of the French Riviera.

The establishment includes a gym, a cinema room and a club room with a wet bar and a billiards table. The Hamisters added a six-car garage to the property. Hamister wants to sell the property with all the furniture included.

The back of the house has an infinity pool and a private driveway to the beach. The property totals approximately one acre.

A deal close to Hamister’s asking price would be among the costliest deals to make at Boca Raton this year. Only a handful of properties have sold for more than $30 million in the seaside town.

Several properties have sold for over $20 million. New York Mets owner Steven Cohen paid $21.6 million for a 31,000 square foot home in a nearby unincorporated area in August. The average selling price in the region was just over $9.8 million.
