The former Manalapan home of the late Generoso Pope, founder and publisher of the National Enquirer, has sold yet again – this time for $15,630,000 – down from its high sale of $27.5 million in 2000.
The new owner of the three-acre, 32,000-square-foot oceanfront estate at 1370 S. Ocean Blvd. is Blue Water EJ LLC, according to the warranty deed filed on Dec. 28, 2012.

“The Browns have already selected Lands End Development,” Elkins said. “They are ready to move forward as soon as they go through zoning.”
The Browns are “end users,” he said. “People are seeing the appeal of Manalapan, which I find refreshing.”
