A Palm Beach Icon Hits the Market for $105 Million
Casa Eleda, affectionately known as the “Ham and Cheese House” for its alternating brick and coquina stone, features a private tunnel to the beach complete with an elevator
One of Palm Beach’s most iconic homes has hit the market for $105 million, offering prospective buyers the chance to own over 150 feet of oceanfront land and a rare private underground tunnel that starts at the home and ends at a beachfront cabana. Named Casa Eleda but affectionately referred to as the “Ham and Cheese House,” the home was originally built in 1927 for businessman Mortimer L. Schiff by Maurice Fatio.
“Casa Eleda is a piece of Palm Beach history that has been masterfully preserved and exquisitely presented for the most discerning buyer,” says Christian Angle, of Christian Angle Real Estate.
The Romanesque style features alternating use of brick and coquina stone. Inside, the seven bedrooms, ten full baths, and four powder rooms feature architecture by Smith Architectural Group and design by Susan Zises Green.
The home also features stone floors, marble fireplaces, an oceanfront library, expansive water views, lush gardens designed by Mario Nievera, a swimming pool, and multiple loggias.
