Palm Beach County Spec Mansion Sells for $17M

Image
What Sold at Stone Creek Ranch for $17 Million? The sale involved Sundara, an 18,206-square-foot lakefront mansion on 2.67 acres at 9200 Rockybrook Way in Stone Creek Ranch, a gated community in unincorporated Palm Beach County west of Delray Beach. Sundara sold for $17 million in January 2020 after being marketed for nearly $19 million. Michelle and Seth Cohen were the sellers, and an undisclosed Delaware LLC purchased the property. The January closing drew attention because of the mansion’s size and price in a non-oceanfront location. The transaction ranked among the area’s highest-priced non-oceanfront sales at the time and set a local luxury benchmark for western Palm Beach County. Like other exclusive gated enclaves, Stone Creek Ranch offers residents 24/7 gated security . Its scale also placed the property among Stone Creek Ranch’s largest sales. The deal later became an important reference point for the community’s rising property values, as the same address resold at higher pri...

Image

Florida Attorney Linked to Family Property Theft Attempt

Image
What Was the Outcome in the Ashley Morin Case? Ashley Morin resolved the criminal case by pleading no contest to unlawful filing of false documents against real property and criminal use of personal identification information. The plea deal concluded the matter on reduced felony charges rather than the more serious first-degree grand theft allegation initially faced. The court withheld adjudication and imposed four years of probation, running through June 17, 2029. These probation terms followed Morin’s admission to the physical acts underlying the conduct, while she maintained that she did not know the deed was forged or that fraud was occurring. The deed had removed Ryan Shrouder as co-owner of his Cooper City home, leaving his mother as sole owner. It involved a stolen signature stamp . County recorders’ fraud detection systems can help identify suspicious property-title changes. Separately, the Florida Supreme Court suspended Morin from practicing law for one year, rejecting a rec...
