A Caribbean Estate From ‘Too Hot to Handle’ Lists for $35 Million

A sprawling seaside estate owned by Blockchains founder and CEO Jeffrey Berns since the early 2020s has hit the market in the Turks and Caicos Islands, just 15 minutes from the Providenciales International Airport. The entire spread is asking $35 million, and that price includes a main villa, a guesthouse, staff quarters, and three private beaches alongside 1,400 feet of ocean frontage.

The compound, which appeared in seasons 2 and 3 of the Netflix reality dating show Too Hot to Handle, is also one of only two properties in Turks and Caicos that are currently accepting cryptocurrency as a form of payment. Jena Janse of Christie’s International Real Estate Turks & Caicos holds the listing.

Resting amid a secluded peninsula along the south shores of Providenciales, the nearly five-acre gated retreat offers a combined total of eight bedrooms and 12 baths across 15,000 square feet replete with sweeping views of turquoise-green water from every vantage point, plus smart-home systems and backup power infrastructure.

Five en suite bedrooms can be found in the two-story primary dwelling, which is accented with tiled floors, striped cherry wood ceilings, and designer lighting. In addition to a soaring open-plan great room with collapsible glass doors opening to a covered terrace, other highlights include two kitchens and a posh primary suite that flows out to an oceanfront terrace and a lushly landscaped bath garden. There’s also an office, as well as a nine-seat movie theater, a game room, a wine cellar, and a gym.

A two-bedroom guesthouse joins a one-bedroom staff lodge. Also holding court on the premises is a massive wraparound infinity-edge pool centered on a stepping stone bridge, along with a fire pit pavilion, a lighted tennis court, beachfront cabanas, and a 75-foot dock for your yacht.

Berns, a crypto millionaire who launched the fintech company Blockchains in 2014, sold a Lake Tahoe compound in 2024 for $47 million after initially listing it for $50 million. He reportedly went on to pick up a $25 million property in the Spring Valley area of Las Vegas that was originally built for Prince Jefri Bolkiah of Brunei. Before that, in 2018, he gained notoriety when he doled out $170 million for 67,000 barren acres near Reno, Nevada, where he’s laid plans to build a blockchain-fueled utopia.
