A cottage-style luxury estate near downtown Naples sold before auction.
An on-site auction, scheduled for Monday, was canceled.
After three weekends of open houses and global outreach, the nearly 5,000-square-foot home, built in 2022, went under contract on Friday, for cash and without contingencies, said Randy Haddaway, founder and CEO of Elite Auctions.
His company, based in Naples, was hired to do the auction, which included a big marketing and advertising push ahead of the event.
It’s the third time in a row that a multimillion-dollar house sold in the Naples market before a planned auction by Elite. Properties that make it to auction are sold to the highest bidder without a reserve price.

The city’s Design Review Board has signed off on the plans for the new Port Royal Club in Naples.
On Wednesday, the board voted enthusiastically and unanimously in favor of the final design for a two-story, West Indies-style clubhouse, which will replace the iconic one destroyed by Hurricane Ian two years ago.
With that regulatory hurdle cleared, the city can now issue a building permit for the beachfront project, off Gordon Drive.
In a statement, the private, members-only club thanked its building committee, professional consultants and city staff for their help and support.
Further, the club expressed the Design Review Board’s approval marked “a significant step forward in our community’s recovery.”
The project, with an estimated price tag of $100 million, is expected to break ground in December.
Built in 1959, the original club, steps from the Gulf of Mexico, served as a social hub for Port Royal residents for decades. The right to membership is one of the reasons the wealthy have flocked to the community, named for the famous Jamaican pirate haven.
The reimagined club will have many new features, including more dining venues, a two-story parking garage, and an upgraded pool and pool deck. It has been designed to maximize views of the beach and the Gulf of Mexico, and to survive future hurricanes at a higher elevation.

A cottage-style luxury estate near downtown Naples will be sold to the highest bidder.
Unless it sells before a scheduled auction.
The nearly 5,000-square-foot home, built in 2022, is described as “absolutely superb,” sitting on a quiet street in the “heart of town.”
“It is spectacular. The sellers moved to a condo on the beach for personal reasons,” said Randy Haddaway, founder and CEO of Elite Auctions.
The newest one at 739 5th Avenue N. in Old Naples is headed for auction in a few weeks. As usual, it’s without reserve, meaning the sellers don’t have a minimum price.

A penthouse in the Brighton at Bay Colony fetched a record price of $12.5 million.
The Brighton is one of six high-rises directly on the beach in Bay Colony, an exclusive gated enclave tucked inside Pelican Bay in North Naples.
The penthouse on the 21st floor set a new record in the building, selling for just over $2,000 per square foot.
Not only is it the highest sale in the building’s history, but it’s one of the highest prices paid for a condo in the half dozen towers that sit on the waterfront, according to the sellers’ agents, the Manring Brothers of Compass Florida.
The penthouse, overlooking the Gulf of Mexico, sold on Aug. 19. It stretches more than 6,000 square feet, with four bedrooms and five-and-a-half bathrooms.
What else attracted the buyers?
The open terraces in the Brighton, not found in any of the other high-rises in Bay Colony, were a big attraction.
