Shaklee Corp. CEO Roger Barnett and his wife, journalist Sloan Barnett, have sold their waterfront mansion in Coconut Grove for $71.9 million. The sale adds to a trend of high-value real estate transactions in the Miami neighborhood.

The 10,400-square-foot home at 3085 Munroe Drive features seven bedrooms and eight bathrooms. It was purchased by a trust managed by Benjamin Babcock, an attorney at Greenberg Traurig, and Mary McFadden Quisenberry, chief operating officer at Rosewood Family Advisors in San Francisco.

The Real Deal previously identified the Barnetts as the buyers when they acquired the property from billionaire Jorge Mas in 2021 for $45.9 million. This recent transaction represents an increase of more than 60 percent over their purchase price nearly five years ago.

The house was built in 2015.

Roger Barnett leads Shaklee Corp., which focuses on nutrition and green cleaning products. He also founded Beauty.com, an early online cosmetics retailer. His family includes Victor Barnett, former chairman of Burberry, and he is part of the Wolfson family network. Sloan Barnett is a lawyer and journalist who has written books about nutrition; she is also the daughter of late billionaire George Lindemann.

The couple retains ownership of another waterfront mansion located at 46 Star Island Drive, bought for $38 million in 2021.

Coconut Grove has experienced a surge in ultra-luxury property sales recently. Billionaires such as hedge fund manager Ken Griffin reside there; Griffin paid nearly $107 million for a four-acre bayfront estate that once belonged to Adrienne Arsht at nearby Brickell Avenue properties in 2022.

In December last year, Jorge Mas—chairman of MasTec and managing owner of Inter Miami CF—sold a neighboring residential lot spanning 7.3 acres near the Kampong botanical garden for over $100 million to an undisclosed buyer.

Also last month, Banyan Ridge—a 4.5-acre waterfront compound at 3585 Anchorage Way—was sold for $101.5 million after being listed most recently at $115 million on MLS records. The seller was the estate of Jonathan Lewis, known as both a Miami restaurateur and LGBT advocate.
