The asking price for President Donald Trump's luxury Caribbean estate recently dropped by more than $11 million. <\/p>\n
The beachfront estate on St. Martin was previously listed for $28 million, the Washington Post reported . But about a month ago, the trust overseeing Trump's assets slashed the price to $16.9 million, Lesley Reed, an agent for Sotheby's International Realty, told the Post. <\/p>\n
The asking price now appears to be closer to what Trump paid for the property in 2013, when it was listed for $19.7 million, the Post reported. The final sales price was not disclosed. <\/p>\n
The gated estate has 11 bedrooms, 12 full bathrooms, a tennis court and a pool, according to the Sotheby's listing . <\/p>\n
