Located in the prestigious Gables Estates, Jeter recently purchased the largest two-acre waterfront lot in the private-gated community. According to Realtor.com, the property initially hit the market for $17,999,500 million, and Jeter was able to punch down to a final $16.6 million.
Offering a breathtaking view of water and greenery, the lot was purchased with a few minor upgrades, including a completed seawall and docks that can hold up to two mega-yachts and other sea vessels.
