Rhonda Shear sells Her Beloved Snell Isle Estate

THE SNELL ISLE MANSION “Bellissimo Palazzo” just landed on the market and can be yours for $13,000.000. This Italian inspired Estate is owned by Celebrity Rhonda Shear and her husband Van Fagan. The couple prepares to say goodbye to their beloved Estate with all its treasured memories, and they’re entrusting its future to St Pete Central’s #1 Agent, Donna Miller of Coldwell Banker. Rhonda stated, “Donna’s genuine warmth and dedication have made her a cherished friend”. Donna assured Rhonda, “I will not let you down”, and has already lined up advertising to reach around the globe.

This partnership between Rhonda, Van, Michael and Donna began when they met at Donna Miller’s listing in Pass-A-Grille beach, a home offered at $8,500,000. Ironically, the architect and previous owner of Donna’s listing, Alberto Alfonso of Tampa Bay, happened to be the same architect who designed Rhonda and Van’s home. The home was also formally owned by the Raymond family. After the showing of the home with Donna, she turned to her husband and said, “When we are ready to sell, I want Donna

to sell our home.“ That was a huge compliment said Donna, “I must have done something right for her to say that. A home is the most treasured asset that someone can have, and it is not something I take lightly”.

Rhonda Shear and her husband, Van Fagan, have made the difficult decision to part ways with their beloved Snell Isle home affectionately known as Rhonda’s “Barbie Dream House” that has been a source of joy, creativity, and philanthropy for the couple for many years. Rhonda, a New Orleans-born comedian, actress, and entrepreneur, has always been drawn to imaginative and inspiring spaces. When she first walked into the home, she knew it was the one for her. “I was like... “Oh my God this is it, I have to live here!”, and that was the start of many memories that were made.

Rhonda and Van have hosted countless events and gatherings within the walls of their stunning home. From dignitaries to celebrities, the guest list has always been impressive, and the events themselves even more so.

RHONDA SHEAR AND HER HUSBAND VAN FAGAN

RHONDA SHEAR

Bellissimo Palazzo, has so many features to offer including en-suite bedrooms, perfect acoustics for parties and live music, impact windows, sweeping open water views, balconies offering views of downtown St Pete, custom bar just off the kitchen, movie theatre, billiard room, and offers views that take your breath away. “If the walls could talk, they would never stop telling you how much this house is loved” says Rhonda. “There is so much love here... We’ve had a lot of fun and joy in this home. I want the next buyer to love this house as much as we have.”
