James Bond films track the agent's vagabond lifestyle, spending one night in London and the next in Montenegro. But if Bond could settle down, he might choose this mansion in Delray Beach, Florida.
Villa Skyfall, a newly constructed, about 23,000-square-foot home in Delray Beach, about 20 miles south of Palm Beach, Florida, hit the market priced at $85 million. The owners, developer team Aldo and Fiorenna Stark, bought the property in 2024 for $5,850,000, according to property records, and finished the home this year.
"They build homes that they personally would live in, that they would enjoy," Douglas Elliman agent Senada Adžem told Business Insider. "His inspiration and lifelong appreciation for James Bond definitely played a role here."
The house is loud and literally glittering, clad in backlit onyx and natural materials throughout, and listing agent Adžem knows it's not for everyone.
"You're appealing to not just a fan of James Bond and a very dramatic look and inspiration, but you're appealing to someone who loves it as is," she said. "This is not a home for someone who's going to want to move in and say, 'I want to make it light, white, and bland.' This is for someone who really wants something unique and unapologetic in terms of design and very dramatic in terms of design."
Bond himself might want something a little more muted, but there is an automotive gallery with room for a few Aston Martins. Take a look inside this Bond-inspired mansion.
Aldo and Fiorenna Stark bought the property and built it in 14 months.
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 home's namesake, Skyfall, pays homage to the third film in the Daniel Craig Bond universe.
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."
The Starks were thinking about living in the home themselves.
"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."
While the home itself draws a lot of attention, the property boasts privacy and security.
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."
Even though the outside is heavily guarded, the inside invites entertaining.
"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 has a separate door, so dinner parties won't be cluttered.
"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."
Adžem pictures the buyer as someone with a public image who will benefit from hiding away in their own sanctuary.
"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."
Adžem said in just two weeks on the market, she's shown it to several high-profile celebrities.
"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."
Stark built the home for someone like Bond: someone who makes room for work but enjoys a luxurious life.
"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.
It wouldn't be a Bond house without some clever features — like hidden rooms.
"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."
Bond is known for his sharp wardrobe, and could benefit from a closet like this.
"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 poker room may be a nod to the first installment of Craig Bond films, Casino Royale.
"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."
You can enjoy a nice martini in the home's bar — shaken, not stirred, of course.
"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."
And of course, Bond needs room for his Aston Martin collection.
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."
To keep up with the luxury homes of the times, Villa Skyfall is outfitted with many wellness features.
"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.
Also, if the next owner wants to try some new styles, there's a salon on the property.
"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."
If you're a fan of the Bond movies, there's a theater room to watch them — or something else.
"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."
And for relaxation, there's an outdoor pool and cabanas.
"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."
The outdoor area has more than just a pool.
According to Adžem, the outdoor area also features a basketball court, a sports court for pickleball, and mini golf.
