Bill Gates’ previous island retreat has been listed on the Florida real estate market for a considerable $23.5 million – and for those in search of seclusion, it presents the ultimate haven. 

The house, shaped like a ‘C,’ is enveloped by thick foliage on Juniper Island in the Sunshine State, offering immediate access to the water and ample privacy with no neighboring properties on any of its three sides, as reported by Profile Miami

The home – located at 100 N Harbor Way – was formerly owned by the Microsoft CEO’s LLC, public record indicates. 

Covering nearly 10,000 square feet, the residence boasts an open-concept layout and includes a heated indoor pool and spa, an outdoor kitchen, and direct access to the water. 

‘This stunning residence is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of paradise,’ the One Sotheby’s listing said. 

The home has a wrap around driveway, allowing the homeowner to easily move vehicles around. On both sides of the home are two four-car garages. 

In the center of the driveway, it has a circular median with palm trees, giving it that natural Florida feel. 

Inside the estate, the four-bedroom, 2.5-bath home features a ‘chef’s dream kitchen’ with SubZero and Wolf appliances, dual dishwasher, a Thermador double wall oven, quartz countertops, a Uline nugget ice maker, and custom cabinetry, the listing said.

And if there are several people living in the house who all like a different set temperature, whether that be air or shower – no fear, the home has eight separate air conditioners, dual hot water heaters, and a generator. 

And the new homeowners will not have to worry about pesky pests in the Florida humidity as the home is equipped with SWAT mosquito system that ‘keeps the exterior serene and pest-free,’ the listing said.

The home is definitely fit for a billionaire like Gates, who has an estimated net worth of $149billion. 

It was recently revealed the moneymaker will leave his children with $500million each – despite previously saying he’d leave them with a ‘minuscule’ portion. 

‘My kids got a great upbringing and education, but less than one percent of the total wealth because I decided it wouldn’t be a favor to them,’ Gates said.

‘It’s not a dynasty, I’m not asking them to run Microsoft. I want to give them a chance to have their own earnings and success.’

The billionaire suggested to DailyMail.com in 2011 that he would be leaving his children around $10million.

At that time, the tech mogul’s fortune was around $56billion.
