Ronald Clarke has sold his Jupiter waterfront mansion for $16.26 million, handing the keys to a Minnesota business couple after just a few years in one of Admirals Cove’s most lavish homes.
The buyers are Marten Goulet and Lindsey Goulet, while Clarke is the billionaire CEO and chairman of Corpay. The deal was first reported Wednesday by the South Florida Business Journal, which also published photos of the property.
Admirals Cove mansion offered dockage, pool and serious square footage
The two-story home spans about 9,290 square feet on roughly two-thirds of an acre, with five bedrooms, 7.5 bathrooms, a private pool and spa, a three-car garage and about 102 feet of waterfront. Listing details show direct ocean access, no fixed bridges and a private dock—basically the Jupiter luxury-home checklist with very little left off it, according to Redfin’s property listing.
The residence hit the market in March for $18.995 million before selling for about 14% less than that asking price. Marketing materials highlighted water views from nearly every room, a renovated primary bath, a guest suite with kitchenette, a summer kitchen and expansive indoor-outdoor entertaining areas.
Minnesota executives take over from Corpay’s longtime chief
Clarke has led Corpay since 2000, according to the company’s executive biography. He and his wife, Leeanne, bought the Spyglass Court property for $15.7 million in 2022, after previously acquiring another Jupiter home, as reported by The Real Deal.
Marten Goulet is chief financial officer of Minnesota-based Wagner Construction, while Lindsey Goulet has been identified as CEO of Cantilever Distillery + Hotel in northern Minnesota. Wagner’s company profile lists Goulet as the firm’s CFO, and Cantilever’s own account of the business identifies Lindsey Goulet among its leadership team.
On paper, the new sale is roughly $560,000 above Clarke’s 2022 purchase price, before taxes, transaction costs or any renovations. The modest spread is a reminder that even in Jupiter’s trophy-home market, a nearly $19 million ask can still meet a buyer somewhere south of the sticker price.
Another big summer for Jupiter’s luxury real estate
The transaction adds to a busy run of high-dollar Jupiter sales and contracts, including a roughly $34 million Bear’s Club mansion bought by tech investor Derek Kreunen earlier this month, as Hoodline reported. Admirals Cove, Bear’s Club and other gated waterfront enclaves continue to draw buyers who want privacy, boating access and a resort-style setup without leaving Palm Beach County.
