Inside the $85M James Bond-Inspired Florida Mansion

Aldo Stark is the owner of Prestige Design Homes, a development firm in South Florida, and has built a number of luxury homes, including another Bond-like mansion — Villa Spectre — which sold for $55 million in 2024.

The film takes Bond back to his childhood home in Scotland — the inspiration for the Florida mansion, kind of.

“If you watch the movie, the original home is in Scotland, and it’s very, very grand,” Adžem said. “But in this case, it’s sort of the Florida interpretation.”

“At the time, Aldo was building two homes and one of them was going to be their personal residence,” Adžem said. “They decided to make this their spec home that they were going to sell.”

The community where the home is located, Stone Creek Ranch, is guarded with armed security 24/7 — so even Bond couldn’t penetrate it.

“Most of the clients who have come through over the past few years through Stone Creek Ranch that we’ve sold the properties to, and even the prospects who are coming to see Villa Skyfall now, really value their privacy,” Adžem said. “They’re fiercely guarded and private.”

“There is a functionality on the floor plan that’s really special for entertaining, but also for someone who wants their privacy, who wants security,” Adžem said.

“The chef’s kitchen is behind the concealed door,” Adžem said. “There’s a gorgeous green marble, and it has a concealed door that leads to the dining room. So if you have a chef cooking, the staff can bring the food to the dining area.”

“I do see someone with a big public life who really respects and appreciates their privacy and the security of their family,” Adžem said. “And I do believe it’s going to be someone who wants a signature Aldo Stark residence that’s a trophy home.”

“What they all have in common is that they want a compound that’s going to resemble their own private resort,” she said. “They have a separate staff quarters. They have big guest quarters, and then they have very lavish amenities, so they don’t necessarily need to leave the home if they don’t want to. And they can entertain in a very grand way at their property.”

“He wanted something that is appealing to a family or a person who loves the car gallery, loves having the two-story office space, and when it comes to entertainment, will appreciate a home that’s really great for the family and for entertaining,” Adžem said.

“There are a few safe rooms with concealed doors and hidden areas,” Adžem said. “I thought it was really fun to have, and it’s a great feature anyway, but there are many safes throughout the home that are concealed.”

“The closet is extraordinary,” Adžem said. “It’s not even a closet. It’s actually a boutique-style dressing area with even a high-tech security component in order to open the watch display.”

“The hidden poker lounge is pretty Bond-worthy,” Adžem said. “It’s behind a massive concealed door — like a display door — to enter the secret poker lounge.”

“I think the bar rivals the most extraordinary bars in the world, including hotel bars and boutique hotel bars,” Adžem said. “I think the bar, you could definitely get your martini there and enjoy.”

Aldo Stark has a personal car collection that rivals Bond’s, including an Aston Martin DB5 that was featured in Skyfall, Adžem said. Unfortunately for the next buyer, the car collection is leaving with Stark.

“Honestly, his cars are like his babies,” Adžem said on whether she asked Stark to include some cars in the sale. “He is very strictly protective of them, so I didn’t even ask.”

“The wellness area is Amazon-rainforest-inspired,” Adžem said. “The bespoke crystal chandeliers resemble large raindrops. That onyx is very, very rare.”

There’s also a Himalayan salt room, a steam room, and a couples massage area.

“There is a Parisian-inspired beauty salon for men or women, so you can have a haircut and you can get your makeup done,” Adžem said. “It’s a really cool space to get ready, and it’s connected to the primary bath. It features a very special marble that was used by the Cartier boutique in Paris.”

“It’s fully soundproofed, and it has the most gorgeous design inside, including top-of-the-line chairs,” Adžem said. “They have heating, they have cooling, they have massage, and they have the 4D component — basically like when the chairs correspond to what’s happening in the movie.”

“The pool and outdoor area are really special,” Adžem said. “It reminds you of a five-star resort in that it has water features and Alfresco’s dining areas.”

According to Adžem, the outdoor area also features a basketball court, a sports court for pickleball, and mini golf.
