Crypto CEO Jeffrey Berns has listed an oceanfront Turks and Caicos estate for $35 million.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The peninsular property, which comes with three private beaches and 1,400 feet of ocean frontage, may be familiar to viewers of the Netflix reality dating show \u201cToo Hot to Handle,\u201d since it served as the filming location for seasons 2 and 3.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Berns, the CEO and founder of the Reno, Nevada-based Blockchains, purchased the property in 2021. Given his day job, it\u2019s no surprise that the crypto investor is open to accepting that $35 million in digital coin, according to the listing with Jena Janse of Christie\u2019s international Real Estate. She was not immediately available for comment.<\/p>\n

Called Turtle Tail Estate, the 4.76-acre property on Providenciales, includes a main residence and guest house that together span over 15,000 square feet, a massive pool surrounding a floating sunroom, beachfront cabanas and a 75-foot dock, all overlooking turquoise Caribbean waters.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A portion of the residence floats above the infinity-edge pool, built into a low rock formation just above the ocean. The pool fully surrounds two floating decks on three sides, creating a canal between them, connected by a stepping-stone bridge.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The contemporary interiors feature smooth white walls, wood-framed windows and striped cherry ceilings that add warmth and texture. The home includes eight bedrooms and eight full baths, as well as a commercial kitchen, wine cellar, cinema and gym. There are also multiple hidden patios, one off the primary bedroom that includes an outdoor bathtub.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Berns founded Blockchains in 2024 with the goal of \u201cfreeing your digital identity from the challenges of corporate control,\u201d according to its website. In 2024, Berns sold a Lake Tahoe compound for $47 million within weeks of listing it for $50 million, according to The Wall Street Journal.<\/a> He\u2019d purchased it for $47.5 million a few years previously and then invested more into renovating it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In 2025, Berns invested over $650 million worth of Ether into the Ether Machine, a crypto-investment vehicle that is looking to go public via a Special Purpose Acquisition Company. He could not immediately be reached for comment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Crypto CEO Jeffrey Berns has listed an oceanfront Turks and Caicos estate for $35 million.\u00a0 The peninsular property,…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":489395,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[8392,217879,220532,220780,220541,220783,38360,220533,220542,602,60,55406,220527,220536,220779,220782,587,220530,220539,5660,158,67,132,68,220784,220781,220543],"class_list":{"0":"post-489394","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-banking","9":"tag-banking-credit","10":"tag-content-type-content-type-article","11":"tag-content-type-content-type-gallery","12":"tag-content-type_content-type-article","13":"tag-content-type_content-type-gallery","14":"tag-credit","15":"tag-credited-by-mansion-global","16":"tag-credited_by_mansion_global","17":"tag-cryptocurrencies","18":"tag-financial-services","19":"tag-financial-technology","20":"tag-integration-apple-news","21":"tag-integration_apple-news","22":"tag-location-country-turks-caicos-islands","23":"tag-location_country-turks-caicos-islands","24":"tag-north-america","25":"tag-subject-subject-new-listings","26":"tag-subject_subject-new-listings","27":"tag-synd","28":"tag-technology","29":"tag-united-states","30":"tag-unitedstates","31":"tag-us","32":"tag-virtual-currencies","33":"tag-virtual-currencies-cryptocurrencies","34":"tag-wsj-pro-mansion-global"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/489394","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=489394"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/489394\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/489395"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=489394"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=489394"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=489394"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
