The seven-bedroom, 6.5-bathroom, 10,155-square-foot property had been listed by Sheena Conolly of Cayman Islands Sotheby’s International Realty.

It’s the first residential home sale in the Cayman Islands for more than $10 million; there have been 11 residential homes in the Cayman Islands that have eclipsed the $5 million sales mark.

There are currently 12 homes actively on the market in Cayman through the MLS system that are listed for more than $5 million.

Lund has also handled sale of the highest-priced condominium in Grand Cayman, at Water’s Edge, which sold for a record price of $13 million.
