Daughter Jennifer, 15, is expected to train and compete in show jumping at the nearby Winter Equestrian Festival in Palm Beach.

But Mr Gates two other homes - in Lake Washington, Seattle, and Wyoming - were too far for her to transport her horses to compete.

The 7,352 sq ft estate has eight bedrooms, a barn, stables and horse training area and a guarded access road, according to Gawker.

It also boasts a wine room and a media room.

The Microsoft founder has an option to buy the house at the end of the lease.

James Kelly, who lives nearby in Mallet Hill, told Gossip Extra: 'The attention that someone like Bill Gates brings might be good for property values.

'I assume he'll be like everybody else who lives here, quiet and keeping to himself.'

It is not clear if Mr Gates and his wife Melinda will be living at the property.
