The late shoe mogul Bob Campbell’s Boca Raton waterfront estate has sold for a record setting $19.9 million with both sides of the transaction overseen by Oren Alexander of The Alexander Team at Douglas Elliman. The ultra-lavish mega-mansion closed for $17.9 million, but the total came to $19.9 million including the furniture. The sale breaks the record for highest priced single family home sold in Boca Raton.

Located at 819 Orchid Drive, the residence spans 13,000 SF of living space spread over 9 bedrooms and 14 bathrooms. The property made a mark when it first came to market representing a fresh departure from expected Boca Raton luxury. The spectacular contemporary residence on an oversized Intracoastal Waterway lot offers 343’ of water frontage and 270-degree views.

The estate incorporates extraordinary amenities such as four infinity pools, extensive private dockage, an upstairs bar, a green roof, atrium-like interiors, formal and catering kitchens, and a waterfall descending from the roof, this estate offers privacy and over-the-top luxury at a breathtaking scale. The interior features soaring walls of glass which open the living spaces to vast vistas, while each of the 9 bedrooms, including the dedicated primary suite wing, open directly to outdoor space.

Bob Campbell was chairman and chief executive officer of footwear giant BBC International, whose brands include Cole Haan, Polo Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger and Nine West. Campbell made history in the shoe industry multiple times during his career, he was the man behind the 2000s craze of the childrens shoe “Heelys” and in the 90s he brought lighted kids shoes to market taking the sneaker scene by storm, with ten million pairs sold in the first year alone.
