Sean Hannity is making a bold real estate move in South Florida, and the potential payday is enormous.
The Fox News star has officially listed his waterfront estate in Manalapan, Florida, for $44.9 million, just over a year after purchasing the property for $23.5 million. At the asking price, Hannity would stand to make a profit of more than $20 million.
The listing, first reported by Realtor.com, includes the home’s furnishings.
A Rare Slice of Florida’s Most Exclusive Enclave
Hannity’s estate sits on nearly two acres along a coveted barrier island in Manalapan, one of South Florida’s most private and expensive residential pockets. The stretch is known for its ultra-wealthy residents and nine-figure listings, with neighbors that include tech billionaire Larry Ellison.
What makes the property especially rare is its dual waterfront access. According to the listing, the estate fronts both the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway, a combination seen in only a handful of homes in the area.
The recently renovated residence features eight bedrooms and 10.5 bathrooms spread across a main house and a separate guest cottage. Other highlights include a pool, private boat dock, and a sweeping driveway framed by palm trees and an arched portico, offering expansive water views.
The home is represented by Douglas Elliman, with agent Vince Spadea Jr. handling the listing.
Timing the Market
Hannity’s listing comes as Manalapan real estate prices continue to soar. The ultra-exclusive town near Palm Beach has become one of the hottest luxury markets in the country, driven by limited inventory and a surge of high-profile buyers.
According to Realtor.com, some properties in the area are now asking up to five times their previous sale prices, turning the enclave into one of South Florida’s most competitive markets.
Hannity purchased the estate in late 2024, less than a year after leaving New York City and selling his Long Island home for $12.7 million. At the time, the Manalapan property was seen as a statement purchase, large, turnkey, and positioned squarely in Florida’s elite real-estate boom.
Leasing First, Selling Now
Before listing the estate for sale, Hannity tested the waters by offering the property as a long-term rental. In June, Zillow showed the home listed for $130,000 per month, suggesting flexibility as he finalized longer-term plans in Palm Beach County.
Now, it appears the strategy has shifted fully toward a sale.
Still Based in Palm Beach
Despite putting the Manalapan estate on the market, Hannity isn’t leaving Florida, or waterfront living, behind.
He still owns two luxury waterfront townhomes inside a gated Palm Beach community, where his radio and television shows are broadcast. The first was purchased in 2021 for $5.3 million as a bachelor pad. He later bought the neighboring unit for $14.9 million in early 2025, shortly after becoming engaged to fellow Fox News host Ainsley Earhardt.
With Florida’s luxury market at historic highs, Hannity’s timing suggests strategy rather than downsizing. The Manalapan estate may have been a spectacular chapter, but at nearly $45 million, it could also become one of his most profitable.
Inside the house
Situated on nearly two acres, the 12,000-square-foot home, originally built in 1990, features eight bedrooms and 10.5 bathrooms. As expected for a Florida estate, the property includes a pool, a dock with a new seawall, and a balcony, along with a roof-level observation terrace offering scenic views.
Inside, the home is designed for both comfort and luxury, boasting a fireplace, a bar, a wine room, and an elevator. The property first hit the market in February for $29 million, later relisting in October for $25.95 million, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Photos of the residence highlight expansive windows, a spacious kitchen with eat-in space and ample storage, and stunning water views visible from various rooms, including the living area, dining room, and home office.
While local real estate experts describe the home as well-maintained, some high-end buyers may still consider it a teardown for redevelopment.
Hannity is a smart investor
Earlier this year, Hannity made a notable real estate move by listing his Long Island estate in Centre Island for $13.75 million. The nearly six-acre property quickly sold in June for $12.7 million in cash to a fan of the conservative media personality.
According to records, he purchased an ocean-to-lake property at 1840 S. Ocean Blvd. for $23.5 million in a transaction completed just before Thanksgiving.
The Wall Street Journal was the first to report his involvement in the Manalapan purchase.
With these recent high-profile transactions, Hannity continues to invest in prime waterfront real estate in Palm Beach County, just a few miles from former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club.
The townhouse at 10 Sloan’s Curve Drive was sold to Sean Hannity by former U.S. Ambassador Clifford M. Sobel and his wife, Barbara, according to public records.
