Ricky Martin In Golden Beach, Estate of the Day

We've been hearing about today's estate in Golden Beach, Florida for a while, since 2007, back before its owner Ricky Martin was the father of twin boys or had come out as a self-acknowledged "fortunate homosexual man." Martin bought the home in April 2007 for $16.5 million and by December of that year it was on the market for $22.5 million. The home didn't sell and eventually appears to have come off the market. Earlier this year I learned that the home was back up for sale with a new lower price.

The main draw of this two-story Mediterranean home is its location in a private oceanfront community. The five-bedroom home has a a beautiful pool and spa that is just a short walk away from a secluded beach. The home's interior is Florida Spanish luxe with a double-height living room that has marble floors, monumental fireplaces and large French doors that open to the outside. The new gourmet kitchen has a brick barrel vaulted celing and tile. The master suite has walk-in closets, terrace and open views. It is now listed at $18.9 million, which still makes it the highest listed Golden Beach house currently.
