As we enter South Florida’s peak season, the foot traffic is high and the energy is even higher. Everyone and anyone is booking a one-way trip to Miami or the surrounding areas to escape a rigid winter right about now—we’re looking at you, New Yorkers. That being said, if you’re tired of being controlled by the frenzied rental market every Miami winter season, now might be the best time to buy so that next December you’re finally coming home. One of these four luxury listings ranging from $5 million to $26 million could officially be your new South Florida residence.
This tucked-away Bay Point Drive residence boasts 8,322 square feet, situated on a 35,910 square-foot-lot directly along Biscayne Bay with room to dock a yacht. The six bedrooms and six bathrooms (plus a guest house) offer plenty of space for larger families to reside, and marble bathrooms and an all-white kitchen with updated appliances are additional highlights. Water views are present throughout the living spaces, and the 190 linear feet of manicured lawn allows for premium entertaining and the option to build a pool. Listed for $25.95 million by Chad Carroll with Compass, the stunning estate is a short distance away from Design District, Midtown, Wynwood and Miami Beach.
Star architect Kobi Karp is the mastermind behind this seven-bed, nine-bath vision with 100 linear feet of water views. The estate boasts signature tropical flora and fauna surrounding the perimeter and is set to be encased by glass walls for an abundance of sunlight. The backyard calls for a sleek 50-foot resort pool and spa, an indoor/outdoor gym and a rooftop putting green and lounge to top off the impressive outdoor amenities. Inside, you’ll find a show kitchen, a chef’s kitchen, elevator, service room and an office with a private entrance. The property is listed for $19.95 million by Dina Goldentayer with Douglas Elliman.
This lakefront mansion designed by Alexandra Karram is an art lover’s paradise, housing a David Willis Glass art installation in the foyer and hanging Campbell’s soup lighting in the checkered black-and-white-tiled kitchen. Intricate sculptures line the exterior of the lot, which is situated on 300 feet of lakefront and is equipped with a full infinity pool outfitted in stately mosaic tiling. The master bedroom includes a sitting pajama room, breakfast bar and separate his/hers bathrooms and closets, and the rest of the living spaces include amenities such as a home theater, walk-in wine room with a 1,200 bottle capacity and tasting table, an elevator, state-of-the-art gym and home office. Located within an upscale gated community in Boca Raton, the Mediterranean estate is going for $10 million and is listed by Jeff Miller with ONE Sotheby’s International Realty.
Inspired by the creative designs of famed American architect Frank Lloyd Wright, this Fort Lauderdale home models an asymmetrical roofline and glass exteriors. The property was founded in the 60s and has been newly restored to boast a retro, mid-century modern vibe, with the furniture and most of the art included upon sale. The gem is the retro-style family room outfitted in silver walls, bright red seating, funky sculptures and an industrial pool table. Venture outdoors to discover a heated saltwater pool surrounded by water views and an available lot to dock an 80-foot boat. 1425 Middle River Drive is on the market for $4.95 million and is listed by Albert Niels with ONE Sotheby’s International Realty.
