MacNeil<\/strong> has put his newly built Fort Lauderdale mansion on the market for $35.99 million\u2014just months after his headline-grabbing purchase of an enormous Manalapan property that was on the market for $95 million.<\/p>\n<p>According to records, MacNeil, 66, managed to snag quite the discount on his Manalapan home, with the latest sale price listed at just $55.5 million.<\/p>\n<p>However, reports suggest that he is planning to pour millions more into the property, which was newly built when he bought it. Instead of soaking up all of the newly constructed luxury on offer inside the home, MacNeil\u2014who already owned a home next door\u2014was preparing to raze it to the ground, according to its seller and creator,\u00a0<strong>Joe Farrell<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Now, it seems the businessman is hoping to raise some funds to funnel into that project by offloading his 10,289-square-foot waterfront mansion in Fort Lauderdale.  <\/p>\n<p>To that end, he has slashed the asking price for the home, which was originally listed last year with a different brokerage firm for the much higher sum of $47.5 million. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A two-story living room has retractable glass walls that open up to the pool area. <span class=\"image-credit\">(Realtor.com)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/na.rdcpix.com\/5953b7ca2a37806dfeca3c4c3ce0764ew-c792726058srd_q80.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1093633\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A dramatic floating staircase offers views of the pool and Atlantic Ocean. <span class=\"image-credit\">(Realtor.com)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/na.rdcpix.com\/d8eca7b23ffd14e875d8d204576cc209w-c3267489810srd_q80.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1093634\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A gourmet chef&#8217;s kitchen was designed for grand-scale entertaining. <span class=\"image-credit\">(Realtor.com)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The property failed to achieve such a lofty ask\u2014but listing agent <strong>Chad Carroll <\/strong>of\u00a0Compass believes it stands a much better chance of finding a buyer with the decreased ask.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We believe it is now priced properly to sell,&#8221; Carroll said. &#8220;It&#8217;s a fantastic property in a very sought-after location.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In addition to its 100 feet of shoreline, the stunning estate features many jaw-dropping amenities, including a floating infinity-edge pool overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What makes this property really special is the second floor, suspended pool that overlooks the beach,&#8221; Carroll noted. &#8220;It&#8217;s also located on a premium double lot with three levels of luxury living and a private rooftop deck.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Inside, an open floor plan is surrounded by floor-to-ceiling walls of glass to soak in the scenery from nearly every room in the house. <\/p>\n<p>No expense was spared on the design of the home, which features many opulent details, including globally sourced stone, bespoke millwork, sculptural lighting, and a floating staircase that offers incredible views of the land below. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As you are walking up the stairs, it&#8217;s very dramatic and takes your breath away as you overlook the ocean and pool,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/na.rdcpix.com\/f9aa3e8ac8873b1d81d03c7d789b368bw-c2166074496srd_q80.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1093635\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A covered patio with summer kitchen overlooks the ocean and pool. <span class=\"image-credit\">(Realtor.com)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/na.rdcpix.com\/dd11b0210f1a272490538922e554d82bw-c2916466923srd_q80.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1093636\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A floating infinity-edge pool has oceanfront views. <span class=\"image-credit\">(Realtor.com)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/na.rdcpix.com\/ae8b0ab5c027df8b3e12e6ee40c73cd6w-c2676495963srd_q80.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1093637\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">An enormous roof deck with fireplace is designed for entertaining and soaking in the spectacular views. <span class=\"image-credit\">(Realtor.com)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>An ocean-facing living room has retractable glass walls that open up to the pool area with a sun deck.<\/p>\n<p>Designed for grand-scale entertaining, a gourmet chef&#8217;s kitchen has dual refrigerators, sinks, and ovens.
