‘Hercules’ star Kevin Sorbo buying a new home in Florida
Hercules is buying in Jupiter.
Actor, producer and director Kevin Sorbo, who starred as the mythological strongman in the ’90s syndicated TV show, “Hercules: The Legendary Journeys,” and as well as Captain Dylan Hunt in the sci-fi series, “Andromeda,” will soon have a new home in Florida.
Sorbo is in contract to buy a three-bedroom, 4.5-bath residence in Jupiter’s new Forté Luxe peninsula waterfront community, Gimme Shelter has learned.
While the price he’s paying isn’t known, similar three-bedroom spreads in the gated complex are around $5 million to $5.4 million; a four bedroom on the market asks $7.9 million.
The townhouse is around 3,550 square feet.
It features floor-to-ceiling glass windows, beamed ceilings — plus a rooftop terrace with a summer kitchen, a fire pit, lounging areas and water views. There’s also a covered terrace with waterfront vistas.
In a statement, Sorbo called the purchase a “perfect retreat” with views that “rival the Bahamas.”
Inside, the interior design is by local star, Miami-based Interiors by Steven G.
A sleek chef’s kitchen features a breakfast bar. There’s also an opening living and dining area, and a den. Each home also comes with a private elevator, as well as a floating staircase. Private “dipping” pools are optional.
The development will feature 17 townhomes, all with waterfront views on three sides, on a peninsula across the Intracoastal Waterway from Jupiter Island.
The project is currently under construction, slated for completion this summer. The developer is Marius
Fortelni, founder and CEO of Forté Development. Architecture by Alfonso Jurado designed the modern townhouses, which run from 3,550 square feet to more than 5,000 square feet.
The grounds will also include a community infinity pool and a sun deck.
