SAN MIGUEL DE ALLENDE, Mexico--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 8, 2026--

The historic UNESCO village of San Miguel de Allende hosts only one Starchitect listing—a home designed by a star architect, like a Frank Lloyd Wright—and local Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Broker Greg Gunter held the listing of the city’s only Ricardo Legorreta home, priced at $4.5MM USD.

Gunter announced the esteemed estate just sold to Mexican buyers at an undisclosed close-to-asking price figure, making it one of the city’s top-five sales in history.

Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices has proven itself a leader in the luxury arena,” said Vince Lesiey, President, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices. “ Network agents have sold many celebrity estates throughout the world, and Greg’s sale of this amazing Starchitect listing further reinforces the band’s dominance in the international luxury real estate market.”

Gunter notes the only other Legorreta estate on the market was Hollywood producer Joel Silver’s home in Brentwood, California, last listed for $52MM USD. “ However, ” Gunter adds, “ our Legorreta was the architect’s only estate internationally to be located in a UNESCO World Heritage zone, a distinct pedigree unmatched anywhere globally.”

Greg’s marketing outreach proved impressive, ” added sellers James and Clare Kirkman, whose primary residence is in the U.K. “ We felt Ricardo’s masterpiece—one of his last before he died—was beautifully showcased in the Wall Street Journal and Elle Décor, among the many publications in which it was featured. We’re thrilled the new owners appreciate its heritage.”

As an architect himself, Gunter proved an especially appropriate representative to showcase Legorreta’s distinctive architectural features. “ I felt more like a docent than a Realtor,” adds Gunter, “ and I enjoyed showing the home to several architectural aficionados. Clients say they love my architectural background when viewing homes, and this Legorreta estate allowed me to wax poetic about Legorreta’s distinctive design thumbprint.”

San Miguel de Allende remains an affordable market, relative to luxury homes on the coasts of the U.S., especially given the craftsmanship involved in the city’s unique Spanish Colonial architecture. “ Our record sale was $6.7MM USD,” notes Gunter, “ but that home would easily have been $30MM USD on the California coast.”

The city attracts artistic clients from Hollywood to New York, notes Gunter, adding “and I’ve had the pleasure of working with many of them.”

BOSTON (AP) — Baseball Hall of Famer Wade Boggs says he's been declared cancer free two years after announcing that he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer.

“I'm a cancer survivor now. Prostate cancer is null and void. Thank God,” Boggs said Friday night after throwing out a ceremonial first pitch before Boston's game against the Tampa Bay Rays at Fenway Park.

Wade was alongside other living Red Sox greats who've also had their numbers retired. The group, which included Carl Yastrzemski, Carlton Fisk, Pedro Martinez, David Ortiz and Jim Rice, was on hand to commemorate the 125th anniversary of the club’s first home game, a 12-4 victory on May, 8, 1901 at Huntington Avenue Grounds over the Philadelphia Athletics.

Boggs, 67, said early detection testing led to his diagnosis in 2024 and led to the subsequent radiation and hormone treatments he received in Florida.

“It's a process that you have to go through, and I encourage all young men to get your PSA tests," Boggs said. "Please go out there. Because mine, it wasn't even on the radar. It was a 3.3 and they don't even start talking about it until it gets to four. But I had the bad one and we caught it early. ... I had my checkup a month ago and I'm completely cancer free.”

Wade spent 11 of his 18 major league seasons with the Red Sox. That was followed by five seasons with the New York Yankees, where he won a World Series ring in 1996. He played the final two years of his career with Tampa Bay, retiring following the 1999 season at age 41.

But he said he never actually wanted to leave Boston, who retired his No. 26 retired May 16, 2016.

“I think the one thing that's lost in translation is that Mrs. (Jean) Yawkey had offered me a seven-year deal to stay with the Red Sox for substantial money. And then, coincidentally, her dying and the offer was taken off the table. And I had to find employment elsewhere. ... But no, I never wanted to leave Boston. My heart's always been in Boston and they know it. And everyone from the ground up knows it, that Boston is the special place in my heart. ”

Boggs hit .328 in his career, finishing with 3,010 hits, 118 home runs and 1,014 RBIs. He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame on his first try in 2005, appearing on 91.9% of ballots.
