America’s priciest residence recently entered the market with an eye-popping price tag of $295 million. Financier John Donahue initially acquired the property in the 1980s, spotting the undeveloped land during a plane ride in 1985 and purchasing it for $1 million. Over the years, the Donahue family, renowned for their devout Catholic values, transformed the estate into a sprawling compound that served as a gathering place for their extensive family and notable guests like former President George H.W. Bush and golf legend Arnold Palmer.
The expansive compound, nestled in Naples’ Port Royal neighborhood, features three residences, including the main house spanning approximately 11,500 square feet, constructed around 1989. Additional homes were added in subsequent years, along with a sizable portion of Keewaydin Island, where the family built a 16,000-square-foot house around 2005.
