The Piano Man is finally “Movin’ Out.”
After spending years on and off the market, Billy Joel’s South Florida oceanfront mansion has found a buyer. Located in Manalapan—a coastal town just south of Palm Beach—the home was first listed in 2018 for $31.9 million. It was listed for as much as $64.9 million, and most recently it was asking $49.9 million.
The New York Post first reported the pending sale.
Joel, 75, bought the property in 2015 for $22.1 million, public records show.
The Mediterranean-style mansion, which was built in 2010, spans more than 13,300 square feet, according to the listing with Christian Angle of Christian Angle Real Estate. Angle didn’t respond to a request for comment.
There are nine bathrooms and 11 bathrooms, including a second-floor primary wing with a fireplace, dual bathrooms, walk-in closets and a view of the ocean. For additional space, there’s also a two-bedroom guest house with a kitchenette and a staff house, which also has two bedrooms and a kitchen.
Other features include a home theater, a pub room with a full bar, a paneled library, an air-conditioned 12-car garage, and a wine cellar with a wet bar and tasting area.
The 1.61-acre spread doesn’t just have ocean frontage, it also backs up to the Intracoastal, where there is a deep-water concrete dock.
The property embraces the beachfront lifestyle with expansive columned loggia, which has a summer kitchen, a dining area, a TV and a fireplace. A swimming pool overlooks the ocean, which is just steps from a back gate.
