While buying an apartment in Israel has become a distant dream for many, some can afford to live like Hollywood stars, right here in Israel.
If you recently won the lottery, you should know that in Caesarea there is a particularly luxurious estate for sale, nicknamed the “Infinity House.” It’s one of Israel’s most prestigious properties: a sprawling villa on one dunam (about one quarter of an acre), with a built area of approximately 750 m², located directly on the golf course in Caesarea and not far from the beach.
The estate features an endless garden that connects to the golf course and the lakeside. The house includes several large residential units and kitchens. It offers almost complete privacy with only one neighbor, and in the impressive yard, you’ll find a stunning infinity pool overlooking a lake with ducks.
Inside, there are seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms, a fully‑equipped kitchen with natural granite countertops, a spacious home cinema, and a gym. All of this is now offered for sale at about 50 million shekels or about $ 15,490,000 (negotiable).

Aside from the size and privileged location, the home harmoniously blends natural and modern elements, with warm cognac‑tone wood flooring and stone walls that add texture and warmth. The furniture‑in‑place features clean lines and light hues. The house is filled with light and opens onto the green surrounding landscape. The furnishings can also be included in the deal, again, subject to negotiation.
“It's hard to believe that such a property exists in Israel. It’s like a rare diamond. Caesarea is the only city in Israel managed by a private company, the Caesarea Edmond Benjamin de Rothschild Development Corporation, which takes care of home security and city maintenance.
"That’s why it is one of the most sought‑after areas in Israel for the top decile and top thousand, alongside Herzliya Pituah, Savyon, Tel Aviv and Jerusalem,” explains Amir Davidson, owner of the brokerage firm Davidson Real Estate which is marketing this property, along with dozens of other luxury homes, including a discrete property listed at 140 million shekels (about US$ 43,370,000) waiting for the right buyer.
From unit 8200 to luxury real estate
At just 27 years old, Davidson heads a real‑estate company specializing in the sale of luxury projects across Israel. He is Jewish, born and raised in the United States, and immigrated to Israel 14 years ago. Davidson entered the field following his mother, Liora Davidson, a licensed broker and real‑estate professional, and after he completed his military service in unit 8200 (military intelligence corps) followed by studies of business administration and entrepreneurship at Reichman University.
“My mother founded the agency, and I decided to turn our family company into a startup,” he says. “Three years ago, I began documenting and marketing Israel’s luxury properties. It became a global sensation, especially among Jewish communities worldwide. Suddenly, people understood that you could live in Israel in a lifestyle they know from New York, Miami or Los Angeles. I brought in technology, branding, digital marketing. Today we have more than 150,000 followers on social media and over 5 million views a month. It’s all organic."
“As a result of the strong digital marketing, a stream of foreign interest arrived, and with it we closed the most expensive deal in Israel in 2025, a year marked by war and instability. “We sold a villa in Caesarea for $22 million (about 77 million shekels) at the dollar rate at the time,” he says. “It is a first‑line to the sea property, six dunams, bought by a foreign client who came to us through our social media."
Who are your clients?
“About 90 percent of our clients are foreign residents, from the U.S., Canada, France, South America and Australia. We’re talking about the top percentile of the Jewish world. Businesspeople, investors, high‑tech executives and tycoons from the pharmaceutical and real‑estate industries, and also a few Russian oligarchs."
Why do Jews from abroad buy homes in Israel?
“There are two types of clients,” Davidson explains. “Some are considering making Aliyah, and want a permanent home for their family, in an environment that suits them, with privacy, a pool and a nearby synagogue.
"Others are looking for a vacation property, a penthouse facing the sea in Tel Aviv or overlooking the Western Wall in Jerusalem, who arrive in Israel for summer vacation. In that case, it’s not an investment. They use the property only when they’re here, and the rest of the year it stays locked up and empty."
So their homes sit vacant most of the year? Who maintains them?
“That’s why we also launched a property management company that takes care of everything, from cleaning to stocking the fridge before they land in Israel. If they want to redesign or replace furniture, we handle that too, and we arrange private chefs and local experiences when they arrive.
"Ultimately, people who spend tens of millions of dollars on a home are used to the highest standards, especially when it comes to vacationing."
And what about Israelis?
“There are Israeli clients too, mostly on the seller side. But the majority of buyers are from abroad. It’s a completely separate market, with a different pace and different standards."
Davidson’s listings are a world apart from standard apartments on the Israeli market. “We market properties ranging from 10 million shekels to several hundred million,” he says. “We also have rentals, but these are homes renting for 50,000 shekels ($ 15,490) a month and up. Soon, we’ll be listing a property valued at around 1 billion shekels, but I can’t say more about that yet."
Can I ask how much you earn on deals like these?
“For each deal I charge a 2 percent commission, plus VAT. We work hard."
What matters most to wealthy buyers?
“Location, location, location. That’s always the first thing. But beyond that, each client is looking for something different. One wants a beachfront property in Tel Aviv, another wants a quiet villa in Caesarea, and some want to be near the Western Wall in Jerusalem.
In the Rehavia neighborhood in Jerusalem, for example, properties can reach $20 million because of its legacy.
And besides location, what are they looking for in a home?
“These are often large families, so they want spacious rooms and privacy. And because many of them keep kosher, a kosher kitchen with two sinks is essential. One time, a client liked a house but it had only one sink, so we built a second one for him. Proximity to a synagogue is also a recurring requirement in nearly every deal."
Alongside the high earnings, Davidson sees his work not only as a business success but also as a mission. “There’s no greater mitzvah than connecting the Jewish diaspora to Israel. If I can bring even one more Jewish family here, I’ve done my share."

How has the war affected this market?
“It’s actually been positive. This market operates differently from the regular housing market. In other sectors we saw drops, but in luxury real estate, prices actually went up.
"Jews from around the world wanted to show support for Israel and also looked for a haven due to the sharp rise in antisemitism. That created a wave of purchases.
"In addition, the dollar exchange rate was strong, nearly four shekels to the dollar, so for them it was a good opportunity. Historically, after every war in Israel, the market rebounds quickly, and sometimes even surges."
