A 1920s-era Florida mansion situated on a pink-sand beach and overlooking the Atlantic Ocean has gone on sale for $28.5 million - a full $18.5 million more than its Boston-based hedge fund manager owner bought it for just two years ago. The 12,500-square-foot Mediterranean style home was put on the market last week, according to Mansion Global, after Michael Rashes, a principal at Bracebridge Capital, and his wife, Dena, bought it for $10.5 million in May 2019. It includes seven bedrooms, 10 full bathrooms and four half baths, with three guest villas overlooking the water in the Palm Beach County town of Gulf Stream. 'There's about 202 feet of ocean frontage, which is about double the size of many other estates,' Candace Friis, of the Corcoran Group, told Mansion Global. She said the Rashes were not spending as much time in Florida as they used to, and decided to downsize.

Now, the private community has only about 750 homes, with a private police force and no commercial activity, giving it a 'secluded and elegant' feel, she said.
