eveloper Joe Farrell is introducing a new collection of luxurious single-family homes in Wellington's Palm Beach Polo & Country Club. These homes are priced between $6 million and $11.5 million, offering a range of sizes from 5,300 square feet to 8,900 square feet. The completion of these houses is expected to take place in the summer of 2025.

    Farrell is promoting these properties through a sponsorship and tent at the Hampton Classic in Bridgehampton, one of the most significant horse shows on the American circuit. The 23-acre site was purchased by Farrell last year for $12.6 million from Glenn Straub. This site was previously home to the long-shuttered East Course golf course.

    Farrell, a well-known Hamptons developer, has now expanded his reach into South Florida's luxury spec development market. In January, he bought an under-construction oceanfront compound in Manalapan for $32.5 million. Manalapan, located just south of Palm Beach, has become a magnet for ultra-luxury buyers in recent years due to Oracle billionaire Larry Ellison's record $173 million purchase there in 2022. Farrell is seeking a trophy price for his Manalapan project and has listed the mansion with Margit Brandt of Premier Estate Properties for $95 million earlier this month.

    Inland, Farrell's Wellington project comes at a time of significant development activity in the equestrian village. There has been a surge in demand for luxury Wellington homes in recent years due to the pandemic and increased interest in equestrian sports. Katrina Peebles has been flipping luxury homes in the Palm Beach Polo & Country Club to cater to the monied set who ride in Wellington. Developer Mark Bellissimo has received approval for a controversial development called the Wellington, which involves removing 96 acres from the village's equestrian preserve and building 49 single-family homes, 47 townhomes, and 107 luxury villas, along with a clubhouse and golf facility.
