A stunning waterfront estate on Jupiter Island, previously owned by Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, has recently been listed on the market for $23.5 million. This impressive property exemplifies the luxury and innovation typically associated with tech titans seeking an idyllic coastal retreat.
Property Overview
Acquired in 2009 by Gates’ investment entity, Front Range Investment Holdings, for $5 million, the estate underwent a significant ownership change in 2018 when it was sold for $4 million to digital media executive John Textor—marking a $1 million loss. The current asking price reflects not only substantial enhancements made to the property over the years but also the robust real estate market of Jupiter Island, which features listings starting at $3.75 million.
Luxurious Features
The estate spans nearly an acre and encompasses a 9,500-square-foot single-story mansion. It boasts an open floor plan accentuated by:
- Soaring ceilings
- Polished marble floors
- Intricate crown moldings
An expansive indoor heated pool and spa are complemented by a large patio area, perfect for outdoor dining and entertainment.
Chef’s Kitchen and Primary Suite
The kitchen is equipped with high-end appliances, including Sub-Zero and Wolf models, along with dual dishwashers and quartz countertops. The primary suite resembles a luxurious retreat, featuring:
- Dual bathrooms
- Custom closets
- A private bar with an ice machine
Smart Home Amenities
This former residence of Gates is designed with cutting-edge amenities, including:
- A boat lift accommodating up to 30,000 pounds
- Solar-lit slips
- An eight-car garage and an EV charger
- A mosquito control system
- A Lutron lighting system with whole-home audio

A Unique Opportunity
With only ten properties on Jupiter Island listed at over $20 million, this estate is a rare opportunity to own a slice of one of the most coveted areas along the Intracoastal. Susan Hemmes of ONE Sotheby’s International Realty describes it as “a rare gem” due to its expansive grounds and exceptional design, highlighted by 200 feet of pristine water frontage and limited neighboring properties.
