Unique Homes Blog

At once a work of contemporary art and a private residence, the property featured on our cover expresses the global vision that is the hallmark of the highest-caliber architecture today. Here, land, water, light and imagination come together to create a singular home and a living experience unmatched perhaps anywhere in the world.

“From the start, I watched the construction of this world-class home and have never seen any builders with such passion and love for what they were doing,” says Jill Eber with The Jills at Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate in Miami Beach. “Everything had to be the finest. They traveled wherever necessary to find the right material, the right finish, the right piece. Even the sand on the private beach is imported from the Bahamas.”

The entry, surrounded by a 2,000-square-foot elliptical Koi pond with rare species, evokes the feeling that one has arrived at an ultra-private sanctuary. No phrase better describes this property than “private resort.” The beach is only one of many remarkable amenities. A waterfront pavilion houses a chromatherapy spa, massage room, steam room, and incredibly equipped media lounge as well as a glass-walled gym. A full catering kitchen complements the one-of-a-kind entertainment kitchen, which is made entirely of teak. One of the home’s several guest suites occupies its own pavilion and the 3,000-square-foot master suite is another refuge.

The location, 2 acres on Miami’s ultra-private Indian Creek Island, assures dramatic bay views, color drenched sunsets and a huge measure of seclusion. “The island’s security is second-to-none. Residents own the streets and Indian Creek has its own police force that secures the island and waterways. Nowhere can you find major estates surrounded by water on one side and an 18-hole golf course and private country club on the other,” says Eber, who is listing the home.
