A Palm Beach mansion has changed hands for $29.5 million in an off-market transaction. Property records indicate that Pieter and Nina Taselaar sold their home at 158 Dunbar Road to a trust managed by attorney Douglas Olin, with the actual buyer remaining undisclosed.
Pieter Taselaar, originally from the Netherlands, established Lucerne Capital Management in Greenwich, Connecticut, in 2000. The firm focuses on European market investments. His background includes a family connection to the marine equipment industry; his father led a marine distribution business and served as president of the Dutch National Marine Association. Nina Taselaar is identified as a licensed clinical social worker.
The Taselaars purchased the Dunbar Road property for $8.5 million in 2014. At that time, records showed $35 million in IRS liens associated with the house. Built in 2009 on half an acre, the residence spans 8,300 square feet and features six bedrooms, seven bathrooms, two half-bathrooms, and a pool. West Palm Beach architect Lee Kvarnberg designed the home.
Dunbar Road has seen other notable sales recently. In 2021, developer Todd Glaser sold 127 Dunbar Road for $27.5 million after flipping it. Designer Tommy Hilfiger sold his lakefront property at 313 Dunbar Road last year for $28 million.
The recent sale by the Taselaars is among several high-value transactions ahead of Palm Beach’s busy season. Earlier this month, former Apple CEO John Sculley and Diane Sculley closed on their oceanfront estate for $37 million—a significant reduction from its original asking price of $54.9 million listed earlier this year. Also this month, the estate of late Washington D.C.-based developer Bernard Gewirz went pending after being listed at $22 million since May.
Despite summer typically being slow for local real estate activity, substantial deals have continued to occur. In July, Jerry Jordan—founder of Hellman Jordan—and his wife Darlene Jordan sold their lakefront compound for $86.5 million, making it Palm Beach’s highest-priced residential sale so far this year.
