An iconic property originally commissioned by Joanie and Murray Goodman in 1975 has been listed for $185 million with Illustrated Properties, offering a rare acquisition opportunity in Palm Beach. Representing one of the largest oceanfront parcels to become available, the estate encompasses 2.21 acres and 250 feet of private Atlantic Ocean frontage. The sprawling compound at 911 N. Ocean Blvd. was designed by architect Henry Harding and constructed by Rick Black.
“A property like this does not come around often, if at all,” said Marley Overman, daughter of Joanie and Murray Goodman and agent with Illustrated Properties. “My parents recognized the sheer potential of this location when they built here in 1975. This is an extraordinary opportunity for the next owner to acquire a rare piece of land with such vast potential, on the ocean, with the option to subdivide if they wish.”
The property’s primary value lies in its exceptional size and beachfront dominance. In a market known for intense competition for prime real estate, the availability of 2.21 acres with 250 feet of ocean frontage is virtually unparalleled. The property retains historic elements including a preserved Mizner seawall and stairs leading down to the beach along N. Ocean Blvd. The residence features a total of 23,956 square feet across all structures, featuring 12 bedrooms, 16 full bathrooms and 4 half bathrooms.The grounds feature a main house with a pool, a separate pool house, a tennis court and a detached guest house with its own pool.
Overman noted that while the main house has seen recent updates to the kitchen, master suite, living room and breakfast room, the ideal buyer is likely a "visionary ready to build new, or a steward of history" prepared to undertake an extensive renovation or new construction project.
“We would love the next owner to keep it for many generations and enjoy it like we did,” Overman added, emphasizing the family’s legacy on the island.
