Sylvester Stallone Sparks Neighborhood Feud After Proposing Controversial Upgrade For His Multimillion Dollar Mansion

by Jesse

Sylvester Stallone might be known for his iconic roles in Rocky and Rambo, but it seems the 78-year-old action star is now facing a very different kind of fight—this time, with his neighbors. 

Stallone’s sprawling $35 million Palm Beach estate is a picture of luxury, boasting a two-story mansion, guest house, private beach, and a breathtaking pool. But his latest proposal has left local residents less than impressed.

What’s the drama? Stallone wants to install a floating barrier around his property. Yep, a floating barrier. The contraption would rise eight inches above the water and extend ten inches below, supposedly to protect the waterways from seaweed and debris. 

Sounds harmless enough, right? Not so fast. Critics argue the barrier’s true purpose is to keep boaters and pesky kayakers away from his private slice of paradise.

Stallone’s neighbors aren’t buying it. With claims of minimal seaweed in the area and concerns about the barrier affecting a beloved local cove, tensions are definitely rising. 

Add to that the murky implications for marine life and public waterway access, and you’ve got all the ingredients for a neighborhood showdown — and this time, it’s not scripted.

Let’s take a look at the details behind Stallone’s controversial project.

The drama began earlier this year when Stallone’s representatives filed an application to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. The barrier’s design is pitched as eco-friendly, leaving room for marine life to swim beneath it. 

However, Palm Beach residents aren’t convinced. Locals like Bradford and Susan Gary have openly opposed the project, claiming that the seaweed problem Stallone cites as justification is largely non-existent. They claim his goal is something else entirely—keeping boaters out.

“Usually when your neighbors are gonna do something, they call,” Bradford Gary told Palm Beach Daily News. “A lot of neighbors are concerned.”

Concerned, indeed. Residents argue that the proposed barrier infringes on public waterways and could disrupt a local cove frequently used by kayakers and paddle boarders. 

The cove also serves as a safe haven for those caught in the inlet’s strong currents. Critics fear that Stallone’s plans could endanger these recreational activities while prioritizing his privacy over community access.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection are now reviewing the proposal, with residents given until December 25 to submit formal objections. While Stallone has yet to comment publicly, his application remains a hot topic in Palm Beach.

We can only hope all the drama doesn’t turn what should be a season of cheer into a season of contention.

Will the legendary actor find a way to win over his neighbors, or will this be a battle even Rocky can’t overcome? Stay tuned—this real-life drama is just getting started. But one thing is clear: not even a $35 million mansion can buy you peace with your neighbors.
