F1: Former CART and F1 driver Nigel Mansell Buys $5.3M Florida Mansion

In May former F1 and CART driver Nigel Mansell purchased a waterfront home on a private island called Belleview Island in Belleair, FL. He paid $5.3 million for his new slice of paradise just south of Clearwater, FL and north of St. Petersburg, FL

The five-bedroom residence came on the market in February 2022 for $5.4 million. So Mansell managed a small discount on the deal.

Built in 1989, the traditional-style home sits on nearly an acre of land.

Located within a gated community, the estate offers an array of luxury finishes across 5,296 square feet of interior space.

According to the listing, the residence includes formal living and dining rooms, a wet bar, a den, and two fireplaces.

The posh property also boasts 125 feet of water frontage, with a dock and two lifts within the protected cove located off the Intracoastal Waterway.

The grounds also feature a pool, spa, and grassy lawn. Underground, there’s a three-car garage and workshop. The property also offers views of the Belleair Country Club.

The British-born driver didn’t venture far when shopping for his new place. In March, he unloaded a smaller residence in the same gated community for $5 million. Mansell had purchased the property in 2019 for $2,400,000.

Built in 1992, the 5,012-square-foot home has four bedrooms.
