Casa Maranello, a Ferrari-inspired mansion located in the heart of Delray Beach, Florida, has been sold for an astonishing $50.5 million, setting a new local record. This remarkable real estate transaction not only involved a mansion swap but also included bespoke furniture, intricate chandeliers, art collections, a variety of alcohol, and even a miniature Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa sports car. The sale price surpasses the previous town record held by the neighboring Villa Spectre.
The mansion's design draws inspiration from the iconic Italian car manufacturer, Ferrari. A prancing bronze horse fountain adorns the front drive, paying homage to Ferrari's legendary logo. The property sits on 2.5 acres and includes seven bedrooms and ten bathrooms, offering expansive living spaces.
Inside, Casa Maranello boasts two enormous primary suites, one of which spans an impressive 3,400 square feet. This suite includes a 1,300 square foot sleeping area, an equally spacious walk-in closet, and an 800 square foot stone-clad bathroom. The home's architectural brilliance is evident in its kitchen, where book-matched orobico grigio marble and custom cabinetry from Spain enhance the space. A 30-foot bar wrapped in back-lit Brazilian tiger skin onyx seats up to 20 guests, while the dining room features an 18-person table and a back wall carved from Patagonia-Brazilian onyx.

The wellness area within the mansion draws inspiration from the opulent Bulgari hotel. It features an indoor pool, Himalayan salt room, and steam room, providing residents with a serene retreat. Outdoors, a 95-foot long resort-style pool with a baja shelf and spa enhances the luxurious ambiance of the estate.
The buyer of this extraordinary property is a trust linked to William Cafaro, co-president of a retail property development company based in Niles, Ohio. The acquisition of Casa Maranello represents a significant milestone in the world of luxury real estate.
