A luxurious Palm Beach estate for $14.95 million comes with a unique perk – guest access to the renowned Mar-a-Lago Club.

Located just one street away from Mar-a-Lago itself and adjacent to the home of President Donald Trump's sister Elizabeth Trump Grau, the residence at 129 Woodbridge Road provides a rare opportunity to experience the famed club, according to the New York Post.

As reported by the Palm Beach Daily News, all homeowners on Woodbridge Road are eligible for guest privileges at Mar-a-Lago. However, access requires a successful interview and the payment of annual dues, which average $22,750 plus applicable taxes. Homeowners do not have to pay the hefty initiation fee, which can reportedly reach $1 million.

The residence is across from two single-family homes acquired in 2017 by DTW Venture LLC and DT Venture 1LLC, entities sharing the Trump Organization's mailing address. An oceanfront residence just around the corner, purchased in 2018, also has ties to the Trump Organization.

The seller is a trust associated with the late George J. Buff III. The trust originally purchased the home in 2013 for $2.25 million. Last year, it was listed for $15.75 million but was temporarily withdrawn from the market for a rental period. The property was relisted on Jan. 15.

"Raising a family here, alongside my father and my son, has been an incredible journey. As life has evolved – my father's passing and my son forging his own path – we feel it's time to pass this special home to someone who will appreciate the community and lifestyle we've loved so much," George J. Buff IV told the New York Post.

Woodbridge Road is the only street on the island with a special "declaration of use" agreement granting residents guest access to Mar-a-Lago. The agreement, established in 1993 between Trump and the town, allows homeowners to enjoy Mar-a-Lago's amenities, albeit with limitations and fees.

The street has become closely associated with Mar-a-Lago, with many homes owned or rented by people connected to Trump and the club, including family members, guests, staff and members of the U.S. Secret Service.

Woodbridge Road is within a security zone closed to through traffic during Trump's visits to Mar-a-Lago, the former private residence of cereal heiress Marjorie Post.
