Live Next to Venus Williams in South Florida for $30 Million
The beachfront home that neighbours the tennis star’s is also down the street from Tiger Woods’s sprawling estate
2 min
A beachfront home on Jupiter Island, Florida, that’s right next door to the home of tennis great Venus Williams has hit the market for $29.95 million.
Built in 1960, the house—which is about 20 miles north of Palm Beach—sits on more than 2.5 acres that’s heavily landscaped for privacy and has about 212 feet of beachfront.
“It’s nearly 3 acres on the ocean, which is very, very difficult to get,” said listing agent Shawn Elliott of Nest Seekers International, who brought the property to the market on Monday. He shares the listing with Stephanie Schwed.
Williams isn’t the only sports phenom in the neighbourhood—down the street, on the Intracoastal side, is Tiger Woods’s sprawling estate that features a golf practice area with three greens and has an estimated market value of more than $60 million, according to PropertyShark.
The seller of the newly listed home bought the property in early 2022 for $16.5 million using a limited liability company, records show. Mansion Global couldn’t identify the seller.
The yellow-painted, Bermuda-style home was designed by architect John Volk, who worked in and around Palm Beach from the 1920s until his death in 1984.
Across its more than 6,300 square feet, the property has six bedrooms and six and a half bathrooms, including an upstairs primary suite with front-to-back views and a ground-floor primary suite, which also has ocean views, Elliott said.
The home surrounds a courtyard pool, which is heated, and there’s a two-bedroom guest house that doubles as a pool house. The property also has a separate apartment for more guest or staff accommodations.
The seller installed new storm shutters, and there are also hurricane windows and a generator that serves the entire house.
From the backyard, the beach is accessible down a private path.
“The beach is beautiful—it’s white sand,” Elliott said. “You’re right on the ocean, it’s pretty special.”

Mirvac’s 45-level Trielle has topped out at Yarra’s Edge, pairing riverfront apartments with wellness facilities, private dining and resident services.

Mirvac has topped out Trielle at Melbourne’s Yarra’s Edge, with more than 70 per cent of the riverfront development sold and approximately 80 per cent of purchasers intending to make their apartment a home.
The figures, released on September 22, point to an owner-occupier audience for one of the precinct’s final residential towers. Mirvac began developing Yarra’s Edge in 2003, and its latest addition occupies one of the remaining absolute riverfront sites.
Mirvac CEO of Development Stuart Penklis said existing residents were among those moving up within the neighbourhood.
“Many purchasers already have a connection to Yarra’s Edge,” Mr Penklis said, describing buyers whose changing needs were encouraging an upgrade within the precinct.
“As one of the final residential towers within Yarra’s Edge, Trielle represents the culmination of more than two decades of creating one of Melbourne’s most established and sought-after waterfront communities,” Penklis said.
“Positioned on the Collins Street axis with absolute river frontage, Trielle offers residents a rare opportunity to enjoy sweeping views across the Yarra River, Melbourne skyline and Port Phillip Bay, while remaining seamlessly connected to the CBD. With Trielle now more than 70 per cent sold, we’re continuing to see strong demand from buyers seeking quality homes in established locations.”
The developer also flagged a penthouse and sub-penthouse collection with larger layouts, premium finishes and broad outlooks. The planned wellness centrepiece, The Oasis, encompasses a 900-square-metre elevated urban rainforest.
Mirvac General Manager Residential Development Victoria Elysa Anderson said Trielle had resonated strongly with buyers seeking a rare lifestyle offering in Melbourne.
“Opportunities to secure a new luxury residence on a riverfront site of this calibre are incredibly rare, particularly within a community like Yarra’s Edge,” Anderson said.
“What makes Trielle unique is the combination of exceptional views, world-class residential facilities and the lifestyle that already exists around it. Residents are buying into a mature waterfront community with parks, promenades, dining, wellness and strong community connections already in place.”
The 45-level tower brings a substantial new presence to that waterfront. Its residential offering spans one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom apartments, with Signature, Prestige and Sub-Penthouse collections accommodating different household sizes. The north-facing position connects the apartments visually to the river and city beyond.
Seven storeys above the promenade, the planned Oasis combines planting and a running stream with a Scandinavian-inspired wellness club developed with spa specialist Naomi Gregory. Facilities include a 25-metre lap pool, hot magnesium pool, sauna, hydrotherapy, a gym, yoga and Pilates room, and treatment spaces.
The amenity extends beyond exercise. Residents will have access to The Biblioteca library and workspaces, ground-floor work pods, and The Salone piano lounge. A private Chef’s Table dining room offers a setting for larger gatherings, while a cinema, games room and sports lounge broaden the entertaining options. Concierge services and a dog-wash area support everyday routines.
Trielle comprises a collection of one, two, three and four-bedroom residences. Reflecting strong demand from owner occupiers, approximately 80 per cent of purchasers to date intend to live in their homes, highlighting the project’s appeal to those seeking a long-term waterfront lifestyle.
Mirvac has recently delivered The Albertine, a premium apartment development on the edge of Melbourne’s CBD, and is nearing completion of Prince & Parade in Brunswick, further strengthening its portfolio of thoughtfully designed apartment communities in some of Melbourne’s most sought-after urban locations.
