Inside Red Sox owner John Henry’s former $25,000,000 Florida mansion, a Boca Raton Oasis with sports bar, recording studio, and more

John Henry owns the Boston Red Sox, so as you can imagine, he is no stranger to luxury properties and the good life. Henry purchased a lakefront mansion in Florida back in 1991 for $850,000, which was fully completed in 1995.

Flash forward over two decades and Henry listed the property for $25 million in 2018, before knocking $10 million off the asking price in early 2019. The reason for the deduction was the general decline in the market value of properties in the area.

Let's take a look at the 41,010-square-foot home that features a sports bar, tennis court, guest house, 6.3 acres of land and a whole lot more:
