The Lemperas' property, known as the Oaks, spans 36,000 square feet on Lake Thonotosassa and features amenities like a car museum, equestrian arena, and bowling alley.
Their $115 million asking price far exceeds Tampa's previous record of $22.5 million, set in 2022 by Derek Jeter's sale. The estate includes 51 additional acres with development potential.
