Former Manalapan Mayor Stewart A. Satter, head of Carnegie Hill Development, recently bought the ocean-to-Intracoastal estate at 1960 S. Ocean Blvd. for $27.5 million. The 12,221-square-foot home was sold by 1960 South Ocean LLC, managed by West Palm Beach attorney Maura Ziska, and was purchased for $20.45 million in 2021.

Built on the 3.92-acre site in 1989 and featuring 350 feet of frontage on both the ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway, the home has nine bedrooms, a movie room, 30-car garage, office, greenhouse, wet bar, summer kitchen, putting green, a dock, oceanfront cabana and tunnel to the beach.

Nick Malinosky and Gary Pohrer of Douglas Elliman brokered the deal. 

“It’s a one-of-a-kind,” Satter said, adding that he’s considering building two spec houses on the lot. “It’s a very large lot, the nicest piece of land in Manalapan and abuts Larry Ellison’s property. The house has no value; it’s dated and does not have the characteristics and features people want today.”

The property had also been owned by another former Manalapan mayor, Tom Gerrard, in the early 2000s. He kept part of his extensive car collection there.

As the Seagate Hotel & Spa and Beach Club lays the groundwork for renovations, 69 employees are being laid off.

The hotel, at 1000 E. Atlantic Ave. just two blocks from the beach, and the Beach Club at 401 S. Ocean Ave. are due for major remodeling, according to Heather Hedrick, the hotel’s director of human resources.

“The Seagate will undergo planned renovations in the coming months which will result in temporary closures of specific areas,” Hedrick said.

Employee separations will begin on May 20. Among employees on the chopping block are servers, cooks, chefs, bartenders and retail workers. Hedrick said those workers will have opportunities to explore employment for additional positions as improvements are unveiled throughout the year.

The property, which opened in 2009 and has undergone previous renovations, plans to create an additional 40 jobs through the development of new food and beverage offerings and overall increases in capacities to existing footprints, Hedrick said in an email to The Coastal Star.

Hotel guests not only have exclusive access to restaurants and a private beach, but also use of a championship golf course four miles west of the property, spa and swimming pools.
