Move in Next to Mark Wahlberg! ‘World-Class’ Villa Overlooking Actor’s New $37 Million Florida Mansion Lists for $22 Million
While replicating Hollywood legend Mark Wahlberg's incredible on-screen career might be an impossible task, wealthy homebuyers now have an opportunity to enjoy a taste of his very luxurious lifestyle—but it's going to cost more than a pretty penny.
That slice of the high-life comes in the form of a stunning $22 million waterfront megamansion, which has hit the market in Florida—just a stone's throw from a sprawling $37 million estate that was just purchased by Wahlberg.
Located in the incredibly exclusive neighborhood of Stone Creek Ranch in Delray Beach, an area known as "Billionaire's Row," the dwelling directly faces Wahlberg's new home—and offers the same extraordinary level of luxury afforded to the actor inside his own abode, albeit for a much cheaper price.
The property, which is known as Villa Ananda, sprawls across nearly 11,500 square feet and is situated on a 2.5-acre waterfront plot with an "extraordinary" 660 feet of private water frontage—courtesy of its plum position on a corner lot.
Listed by Senada Adžem, of Douglas Elliman, the eight-bedroom dwelling is described as a "contemporary masterpiece that embodies serenity and sophistication," yet also boasts all manner of bells and whistles to impress even the most discerning of homebuyers.
"Villa Ananda is the definition of elevated living. A home that masterfully blends serenity, sophistication, and design at the highest level," Adžem tells Realtor.com®. "Every detail, from the architecture to the landscaping, evokes the feeling of a world-class private resort.
"What makes this property truly exceptional is its sense of harmony, between nature, art, and function."




However, there is one distinct aspect of the home that makes it all the more appealing to a certain kind of buyer: the sports car fanatic.
In addition to its more traditional mansion amenities, including an enormous primary suite that occupies an entire wing, a glittering pool, and a "club room" with a 150-inch projection screen, the home has also been outfitted with a range of incredible auto-focused features.
Car enthusiasts will prize the rarity of nine air-conditioned garage bays-expandable with lifts to accommodate up to 18 vehicles—an amenity created for the passion of a "Lamborghini Super Trofeo race-car driver," the listing reveals.
"This extraordinary feature makes the estate as functional as it is breathtaking, complete with an arrival area designed to handle race-car carriers. With the scale of the property, a true aficionado could expand even further, creating space for a collection that extends well beyond 18 cars.
"This estate is a rare fusion of architectural brilliance, natural beauty, and adrenaline-fueled elegance, with an automotive pedigree worthy of a champion driver."
However, for those left nonplussed by the prospect of curating a car collection, the villa features a number of other incredibly impressive features designed to delight and entertain.
As far as its interior design, every element, from the flooring to the light fixtures, is meant to exude elegance and luxury, while also creating a feeling of serenity within the home.
"The spaces are dressed in soft shades of gray and white, accented with artisanal finishes that transform each room into a work of art," the listing notes. "European white oak floors provide a natural yet sophisticated foundation."




Custom millwork and wall treatments can also be found throughout the dwelling—which were designed to "blend seamlessly" with the custom Selenite crystal lighting.
"Celebrated for promoting clarity and positive energy, the crystal infuses the interiors with both beauty and a restorative ambiance," the listing adds.
That high-end ethos extends through to the enormous kitchen, which features an enormous Calacatta Crema marble island, as well as top-of-the-line Bosch, Sub-Zero, and Wolf appliances.
"Beyond, a succession of elegantly scaled rooms unfolds with effortless continuity, each designed to capture abundant natural light and frame sweeping views of the water," the description continues.
While the primary wing is far and beyond the most impressive bedroom in the property—boasting two bedrooms, an office, and dual baths and closets—six other bedroom suites help to turn the dwelling into an entertainer's dream.
The property has also been outfitted with the most up-to-date smart systems, including Crestron home automation, a Sonos sound system, and advanced UV and air purification, as well as impact windows and a generator to ensure that the dwelling can withstand all manner of weather events.
Outside, residents can enjoy a true "resort experience," with gardens that have been filled with Italian cypress, roses, bougainvillea, and Japanese blueberry trees, and a swimming pool that overlooks the water.
"A covered lanai with fireplace, retractable screens, and a built-in grill extends the interiors seamlessly into the open air, while a bougainvillea-draped pergola and fire pit invite intimate gatherings under the stars," the listing adds.




The outdoor area also offers a view over the water to Wahlberg's new home, which is situated just across the manmade bay and serves as quite the attraction.
Wahlberg purchased the lavish retreat earlier this month from spec developer Aldo Stark, who christened the Italian-style dwelling Palazzo di Lago.
The stylish sanctuary spans 18,206 square feet and boasts seven bedrooms, 10 full bathrooms, two powder rooms, a home theater, cigar lounge, wine cellar, gym, sauna, guesthouse, and resort-style pool.
The home, which was initially built in 2017, comes with a seven-car garage.
Wahlberg—a self-confessed fitness fanatic—was undoubtedly bowled over by the home's wellness wing, which features "a fully equipped gym, sauna, and massage room, and effortlessly opens out to a private tennis court and a saltwater lagoon pool that holds 170,000 gallons of cascading, crystal-clear water."
His new property purchase came just a few months after he made an incredibly lucrative sale—offloading his illustrious Beverly Hills estate to fellow celebrity Paris Hilton, who splashed out $63.1 million for the property.
And while some might question what drew the "Shooter" star to the area, Adžem notes that Stone Creek Ranch offers everything an A-list actor might be looking for in a home—particularly an incredible level of privacy found in few other Florida hot spots.
"Stone Creek Ranch itself is one of South Florida’s most coveted communities, a private sanctuary where every estate is a masterpiece, yet each feels uniquely secluded," she shared. "It’s rare to find this caliber of craftsmanship and tranquility just minutes from the vibrancy of Delray Beach and Boca Raton."
