Rod Stewart has owned an oceanfront home on Palm Beach's Billionaire's Row since the mid 1990s and spends part of each winter there. His main home is in England. Here is what reporting says about the Palm Beach estate, his other houses, and what the south end of the island costs today.
Where does Rod Stewart live? The singer spends winters in Palm Beach, Florida, at an oceanfront estate on the stretch of South Ocean Boulevard that locals call Billionaire's Row. He has owned it since about 1995, according to the Palm Beach Daily News, which describes him as a seasonal resident. His main home is in Essex, England, and he still owns a large estate near Beverly Hills. Here is what public reporting says about the Palm Beach house and the homes around it.
Key takeaways
- His Florida home is an oceanfront estate on Billionaire's Row at the south end of Palm Beach.
- Reports date the purchase to about 1995; the price was not reported in the outlets we checked.
- He also owns a 33,000-square-foot estate near Beverly Hills, bought in 1991 for $12 million and listed for as much as $80 million.
- Palm Beach has about 272 active listings with a median list price near $2.5 million, per our MLS feed as of September 2026.
Where does Rod Stewart live in Florida?
His Florida home is in the Town of Palm Beach, on the barrier island across the Intracoastal from West Palm Beach. The estate sits on the ocean side of South Ocean Boulevard, south of Sloan's Curve. That is the section of coast road known as Billionaire's Row, where the island narrows and the lots run from the beach toward the lake. Pure Equity does not publish private addresses, so that is as far as we go.
The Palm Beach Daily News, which tracks island real estate closely, has called him a seasonal resident for years. He and his wife, Penny Lancaster, are spotted shopping and dining in town in the winter months, per the same paper. Beyond that, he keeps a low profile on the island, which is part of why he has stayed so long.
He is one of the older names on the Row. Most of his neighbors bought in the past decade. Stewart bought when the south end was still a quieter, cheaper part of the island, which makes his purchase one of the better-timed celebrity real estate moves in Palm Beach County.
Inside the reported Palm Beach estate
Public reporting on the house itself is thin, and we will not fill the gaps. What outlets agree on is the location, the ocean frontage and the timing. A Benzinga report carried by Yahoo Finance in 2025 dates the purchase to 1995, four years after he bought his California estate. The price he paid was not reported.
Social media pages have called it a $30 million mansion, but no outlet we consider reliable has published a figure, so treat that as a guess. What is clear is the land value. Oceanfront lots on this stretch have listed for $88 million and even $200 million in recent years, per Robb Report, so whatever he paid three decades ago is a small fraction of what the parcel is worth now.
Stewart has said little about the house in interviews. He talks more often about his model railway in California and his football pitch in England. The Palm Beach estate is where he spends the coldest months, and that is about all he has shared. That silence is typical of the Row. Most owners there buy through trusts or LLCs, and the deed record is often the only public trace of a sale. For a 1990s purchase, even that record predates the era when every island deed got a headline.
Why Rod Stewart chose Palm Beach
The reasons are the same ones that have drawn British entertainers to the island for decades. First, the winter. Essex in January is grey, and Palm Beach is not. Second, the crowd. The island has long been a base for musicians and performers who want privacy without isolation, and it has a busy charity and social calendar that suits a couple like the Stewarts.
Third, timing. He bought in the mid 1990s, when the south end of the island was still lined with older homes and the record sales were far in the future. The nine-figure oceanfront sales that now define the Row all came after 2015. A buyer who arrived twenty years earlier paid a fraction of today's prices for the same sand. Whether or not he planned it that way, the purchase has aged well.
Where else does Rod Stewart live?
Three other homes get reported. The first and main one is in Essex, England, where he lives with Lancaster and where his sons grew up. Reporting values it at roughly $6 million, and it has the full-size football pitch he has talked about for years.
The second is the estate near Beverly Hills. He bought it in 1991 for $12 million, and it runs about 33,000 square feet. He listed it in 2023 at $70 million, raised the ask to $80 million in 2024, then cut it to $74 million, per Robb Report and the Palm Beach Daily News. In 2025 reporting said he decided to keep it because of what he called fond memories.
The third is history. His Malibu beach house from the 1980s, known as the Wave House, later sold to Karlie Kloss and Joshua Kushner. And his old Los Angeles mansion, which he sold in 1992 for $6.25 million, changed hands again in 2025 as part of an $86 million two-home deal.
What homes near Rod Stewart cost
Palm Beach is a small market with a very wide range. Our MLS feed as of September 2026 shows about 272 active listings on the island with a median list price near $2.5 million. Homes average about 191 days on the market, which is long by county standards, because many sellers on the island are in no hurry.
The oceanfront south of Sloan's Curve trades far above that median. Recent asks on Billionaire's Row have run from $88 million for an estate with a beach tunnel to $200 million for a bare lot, per Robb Report. Across the bridge, West Palm Beach has about 2,207 listings with a median near $310,000. For buyers set on the ocean, our beachfront homes hub covers the island and the rest of the county coast, and our luxury homes page tracks the $1 million-plus market.
For owners on the island, the message from Stewart's purchase is patience. A house bought on the south end in 1995 has gained value on the land alone, and the same is true of most oceanfront parcels held for more than a decade. The other lesson is about the house itself. On this stretch, buyers often pay for the lot and rebuild, so an older home in good condition still sells on land value. Sellers who price the dirt rather than the drywall tend to get closer to the recent comps.
