3. Sanibel mansion on market for $16.9M

A 10,000-square-foot waterfront mansion has hit the market for $16.9 million, making it the highest priced home on Sanibel Island.

The home located at 6111 Sanibel Captiva Road is owned by A.J. Scribante and his wife Sunny, who named their estate, Mandalay.

“Mandalay is just a happy place,” said A.J. Scribante. “There’s a song that goes ‘on the way to Mandalay where all the people play.’”

The five-bedroom, seven-bathroom, mansion has been the Scribante’s sandy playground for the past 10 years, but now they are ready to pack up and head to their ranch in Colorado, called Mandalay West, where they have horses, cows, goats, pigs and miniature donkeys.

“We’re downsizing and going to do some traveling and spend some time at our ranch in Colorado,” A.J said. – Jennifer Beeson/Staff
