Spectacular $30 Million Trophy Estate with Stables, Hunting Grounds, and Resort-Style Living in Port Saint Lucie
16675 C24 Canal Rd is not your average Port Saint Lucie home for sale. Listed at a commanding $30 million, this equestrian and hunting compound redefines luxury with nearly 206 acres of gated land, a 15,785-square-foot residence, and extensive sporting infrastructure that few private estates in Port Saint Lucie real estate can rival.
Built in 2018 by former New York Mets slugger Yoenis Céspedes, the estate – named La Potencia II – combines modern architecture, professional-level sports facilities, and secluded natural beauty. The home stands as a rare opportunity to own a high-performance private resort originally created by and for a professional athlete.
A Custom Lifestyle Retreat with Rare Acreage
The home at 16675 C24 Canal Rd is part of a larger story – Céspedes acquired nearly 3,000 acres in 2016, later scaling back to retain this jewel-like 205.99-acre parcel, where he built the estate from the ground up. The property’s CBS construction, barrel tile roof, and modern/contemporary design frame a floor plan with 6 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, and 2 half bathrooms.
Inside, owners are greeted by soaring ceilings, a spacious great room, and a gourmet kitchen complete with a central cooking island, high-end appliances, and custom cabinetry. The media room, walk-in closets, and formal office add functional luxury to the open floor plan.
Resort-Style Exterior, Designed for Leisure and Sport
From the moment you enter the screened rear patio, it becomes clear that La Potencia II is designed to entertain. The 40×20 heated pool and spa are surrounded by lush tropical landscaping, blending the lines between indoor and outdoor living. A built-in summer kitchen and covered lounge area turn any evening into a resort-style retreat.
In an exclusive conversation with Luxury Houses Magazine, listing agent Julian Johnston of The Corcoran Group said: “This is one of the few estates where luxury, utility, and scale intersect. Céspedes created something that blends professional-grade sporting life with elite privacy.”
The estate includes a baseball batting cage, game processing room, training yards, and a 12-stall horse stable – a dream for hunters, riders, and professional athletes alike.
Designed by an Athlete, Inspired by a Legacy
Every element of 16675 C24 Canal Rd reflects Céspedes’s signature style: performance, power, and privacy. Known as “La Potencia” during his MLB career, he extended that identity into this ranch, creating a space not just for relaxation but for competitive recreation.
Co-agent Lina Agosto added in her remarks to Luxury Houses: “This property is a testament to his character – bold, refined, and deeply tied to outdoor sport. You’re not just buying land here; you’re buying legacy.” The main home spans 15,785 square feet, but with additional buildings – including utility barns, recreational pavilions, and animal enclosures – the total built area reaches 31,056 square feet.

Equestrian and Hunting Grounds of the Highest Order
For equestrian lovers, 16675 C24 Canal Rd offers unparalleled riding experiences. The zoning (AG-5) supports agricultural and equine activities, making the home in Port Saint Lucie for sale ideal for horse breeders or those seeking vast, private land to roam.
For hunters, the acreage teems with wildlife including deer and wild boar. Céspedes himself was known to hunt on the property, even suffering a now-infamous ankle injury while avoiding a wild boar in 2019. That incident – and his eventual retirement from baseball – became part of the legend surrounding the home.
When Luxury Houses reached out to Céspedes’s representatives for comment on the decision to list the estate, there was no official response. However, a source familiar with the listing said the property had become underutilized in recent years: “He kept it private for training and family, but it’s time for someone else to give it life again.”
A Prime Port Saint Lucie Location
Though it offers the serenity of a remote retreat, 16675 C24 Canal Rd is surprisingly close to Port Saint Lucie’s top destinations. The property lies just a short drive from Clover Park, the Mets’ spring training stadium, and is within 15–20 minutes of the Tradition development – home to hospitals, dining, and upscale retail.
The area is connected via Florida’s Turnpike and Interstate 95, offering convenient access to West Palm Beach and Miami. As part of the Port Saint Lucie Real Estate market, this property is uniquely positioned at the intersection of luxury, privacy, and community growth.
With a price per square foot of $1,901, this estate far exceeds average listings in the Port Saint Lucie Home for sale segment. Public records show a tax assessed value of $4,985,453, with annual taxes totaling $70,329.
Although Zillow estimates the market value at just $6.28 million, that number fails to reflect the value of specialized amenities, acreage, and celebrity association. As agent Julian Johnston pointed out to Luxury Houses, “This estate simply doesn’t compare to anything else in the region – it’s in a class of its own.”
Unlike other high-end homes, this Port Saint Lucie real estate combines a luxury home, working ranch, training facility, and resort – all in one. The buyer of this estate is not simply investing in real estate; they’re acquiring a personalized legacy crafted by a major sports figure.
In a final quote to Luxury Houses Magazine, Johnston said: “La Potencia II is the rare kind of listing where story and structure align. For the right buyer, it will be unforgettable.”
