A New York based CEO known publicly only as Fernandez has shelled out $25 million for the Palm Beach mansion at 134 Casa Bendita, tucking another ultra high end sale into one of the island’s more private cul de sacs. The two story residence, clocking in at roughly 8,700 square feet, had been shopped in recent months with an asking price near $30 million. The deal, reported June 3, 2026, plants yet another trophy property in the hands of an out of state finance buyer.
According to the South Florida Business Journal, the buyer runs a New York based company that trades on the New York Stock Exchange. The Journal also credits Ed Butera for the listing photography and names Margit Brandt of Premier Estate Properties as the listing agent on the deal.
Inside 134 Casa Bendita
Public listing details put the home at about 8,733 square feet, with four bedrooms, four full bathrooms and one half bath. Photos on Redfin highlight a vaulted great room, a chef’s kitchen and a private courtyard, the kind of amenities that tend to pull in top tier buyers who like their luxury with a side of seclusion.
Public filings and local reporting point to a layered transfer history for the property. Recorded deeds show a prior sale of roughly $20.83 million earlier this spring, according to coverage in the Palm Beach Daily News. That mix of LLCs, trusts and staggered recordings is standard fare at the very top of the Palm Beach market, and it can make headline prices and county records appear slightly out of sync until the paperwork fully catches up.
What This Sale Means
The Fernandez purchase lands in the middle of an unusually busy stretch for Palm Beach luxury real estate, with several eye catching closings nudging average prices higher. The Real Deal reports strong sales across Palm Beach County and continued demand from buyers chasing trophy level properties, and local brokers say privacy and quick, discreet closings remain standard at this end of the market. For now, it is an open question whether Fernandez plans to treat 134 Casa Bendita as a full time home, a seasonal getaway or a renovation project under new ownership.
