News Alert: Tarpon Island in Palm Beach, Florida, the rarest of real estate offerings, sells for US$85,000,000 in an off-market transaction

New York, New York (July 14, 2021) — Christie’s International Real Estate proudly announces that Premier Estate Properties in Palm Beach, Florida, has closed on Tarpon Island, a sanctuary of more than two acres and the only private island in all of Palm Beach. Jim McCann represented the seller. The buyer is developer Todd Michael Glaser.

Tarpon Island is ultimately private, currently accessible only by boat or a pedestrian bridge. Epitomizing Palm Beach’s discreet glamour, the island with its home built by noted society architect Howard Major in 1939, has been owned by William M. Toll and his wife, Eileen for decades. Mr. Glaser has stated that his plan is to renovate and expand the residence.

Said Mr. McCann: “I was honored to have been chosen to represent the seller in the disposition of such an important, iconic property.”
