Inside South Jersey’s Most Expensive Home Worth Nearly $23 Million
If you happen to have an extra $23 million sitting around, one of the most incredible homes at the Jersey Shore could be yours.
A newly built home at 5499 Dune Drive in Avalon is currently listed for a crazy $22,950,000, making it one of the most expensive and potentially the most expensive homes currently on the market in South Jersey.
And this isn’t your typical beach house.
The massive home sits in Avalon’s famous High Dunes, an area known for having some of the highest natural elevations on the island. According to the listing, the property is one of just 11 homes occupying this elevated section of Avalon, giving it views stretching from the Atlantic Ocean all the way across to the back bays.
Built in 2025, the home features 7,926 square feet of living space, six bedrooms and a whopping 10 bathrooms. That is roughly about 4–5 average U.S. homes.
And the builders went all out on this house.
The home stretches across four levels, all connected by an elevator. Inside you’ll find a chef’s kitchen, multiple living areas, a library or study, a recreation room, sauna and even a temperature-controlled wine room.
There’s also an entire wellness level.
Outside, the property has its own in-ground pool and spa, outdoor shower, grill area and several decks and patios overlooking the water.
But the location may actually be the biggest selling point.
The property sits on a 0.66-acre beachfront lot measuring roughly 140 feet by 205 feet, which is enormous by Jersey Shore standards. It also has approximately 140 feet of frontage.
Because of its position in the High Dunes, the house was designed around both sides of the island. That means you can watch the sun rise over the Atlantic Ocean in the morning and then catch the sunset over Avalon’s back bays later that evening.

Of course, owning a nearly $23 million beach house comes with some pretty impressive numbers.
The property is currently assessed at $13.7 million, with annual property taxes of approximately $47,546. That’s right, $47,546 a year!!!
At its current asking price, you’re looking at roughly $2,896 per square foot.
The home originally hit the market on June 18, 2026, and the listing was most recently updated on September 29.
Avalon has long been home to some of the most expensive real estate at the Jersey Shore, but a nearly $23 million asking price puts 5499 Dune Drive into another category entirely.
Now the big question is whether someone will actually pay it and will you invite me over for a swim?
