Florida Real Estate: Behind the Scenes of Mark Wahlberg’s $37 Million Mansion

Mark Wahlberg just dropped $37 million on a fully furnished mansion in Delray Beach, Florida—Palazzo di Lago. It’s a headline-grabber, not just because of Wahlberg’s celebrity, but because this megahome’s price has shot through the roof since 2020, leaving other luxury markets in the dust.

Here’s the wild part: one listing agent, Senada Adzem, has sold this single-family estate four times in five years. That’s $106 million in transactions, all for the same address in Stone Creek Ranch—Delray Beach’s ultra-exclusive gated community with only 37 homes. Wahlberg’s deal in October marked the fourth time this place changed hands, capping off a 118% price jump since January 2020, when it last sold for $17 million.

The mansion sits at 9200 Rockybrook Way. Its value has soared past not only the local market but also heavy hitters like Los Angeles, the Hamptons, and Manhattan. From 2020 to 2025, Delray Beach’s top luxury homes jumped about 78%, Los Angeles 30%, the Hamptons 44%, and Manhattan just 4.5%, according to the Elliman Report. The S&P 500 nearly doubled in that time, but this house beat even that, with a 118% gain.

Adzem, a Douglas Elliman broker, has been at the center of every sale. Back in 2020, she represented the original owners when the property was called the Sundara estate. Three years later, she listed it again for the second owners, selling for $26 million—a 53% gain in just three years.

Next, a trust tied to William Cafaro, co-president of a retail property developer in Ohio, bought the house. About a year later, Cafaro decided to sell. This sale got complicated: Cafaro traded the home as part of a $50.5 million deal to buy Casa Maranello, a Ferrari-inspired mansion up the road, from developer Aldo Stark. Adzem brokered both sides. Cafaro paid $24.5 million cash, plus the deed to 9200 Rockybrook Way, valued at $26 million—the same price he had paid for it.

When Stark closed the deal in January 2025, he became the mansion’s fourth owner and launched a dramatic, multimillion-dollar renovation. He ditched the Sundara name, wrapped the walls in rare polished stones and glossy Guyana wood from Brazil, and brought in vibrant green plants for a bold new look. The kitchen, clubroom, and nearly every inch of the 17,800-square-foot property got a total makeover, right down to custom-made furniture.

Barely two months after closing, Stark put the home back on the market with a new name—Palazzo di Lago—and a bold $45 million asking price. That’s $19 million more than what he paid and 165% more than the 2020 sale.

By October, Adzem closed the fourth deal, handing the keys to Mark Wahlberg. The final price: $37 million, which is $11 million more than Stark paid just seven months earlier. Over five years, the price more than doubled.

Selling the same house four times in five years is almost unheard of, but Adzem chalks it up to life’s unpredictability. “People’s circumstances change and they have different chapters in their life. So we were privileged to be able to guide this home through different evolutions and different owners and be able to add value to it,” she said.
