Sylvester Stallone has angered his Palm Beach neighbours with his request to keep boaters away from his $35 million (£27.6 million) property using a unique method. The Rocky star, who purchased the Palm Beach property in 2021, has reportedly put forward plans to build an underwater barrier near his home.

His neighbours, however, have aired their objections to the proposed plan which would see Stallone build a seaweed barrier around his home. According to The Palm Beach Post, Stallone’s plans to build the barrier in the intracoastal waterway by his mansion which has been billed as an environmental project needed to keep out debris and seaweed from the waterway.

However, a public notice from the Army Corps stated that ‘the overall project purpose is to exclude boaters’ from being near the property and seaweed was listed as a secondary concern. Neighbours were reportedly blindsided by the proposal, on which the Florida Department of Environmental Protection said they have until 5pm on Christmas Day to give their feedback.

The actor’s application also includes a request for a lease of state land due to the positioning of the barrier, which would reportedly rise about 8 inches above the water and extend 10 inches below the water’s surface. ‘He bought a beautiful property,’ Stallone’s neighbour Bradford Gary told the outlet, calling the home ‘one of the nicest houses’ in the North End.
