Hurricane-proof mansion built to withstand 200mph winds hits market for $6.8m
A hurricane-proof mansion has hit the market for $6.85m (£5.27m).
The home, in Boca Raton, Florida, boasts five bedrooms, seven bathrooms and plenty of space for a family.
But while the interior is stunning, its strength is the key selling point.
The mansion has been built with the purpose of being able to withstand hurricanes of up to 200mph, as reported by Luxury Property News.
The newly built home, which was completed this year, is made up of steel supports and insulated concrete forms, allowing the house to withstand strong winds.
The home’s developer Meir Kroll said: “There’s this picture [of the west coast of Florida after Hurricane Michael in 2018] of all these homes on the beach totally decimated, and then there’s this one house that’s standing.
“That house was an [insulated concrete form] home.”
Mr Kroll is a popular developer in LA and has worked on homes for sports agent Rich Paul and MLS player Javier Hernandez.
Senada Adzem, of Douglas Elliman Real Estate, who put the home on the market with colleague Brian Ross, said the environmental impact on properties has become increasingly important to clients.
She said: “They want to know that they’re safe.
“They want to know that if they’re traveling in the summer, their home is going to be there when they come back.”
The 6,945 sq ft home has a modern, white exterior with dark wood accents.
Upon entering the home, which is named Villa Mallorca, you can find an incredible living area with bifold doors to the garden, a huge white sofa, TV unit and coffee table.
The kitchen has a beautiful island, floor to ceiling wooden cupboards and neutral tones.
Between the kitchen and lounge there is a six seater dining table.
And upstairs you can find five stunning bedrooms, each with floor to ceiling windows which
