Star Island Masterpeice
Just four short months after it was listed, the Star Island property known as Villa Lourdes sold for $75 million. At that price tag, this property becomes one of the most significant in Miami-Dade County and the highest priced sale in the area. The record price, however, comes down to siting and design.
With sweeping unobstructed views of the Miami skyline, this ultra-exclusive property provides residents with a one-of-a-kind view. The blue waters of the Biscayne Bay surround the island, all thanks to 100 feet of unrestricted water access. It’s this kind of waterfront property that is next to impossible to find in South Florida. Even though it may appear as a getaway in the middle of Miami, Star Island still has easy access to Miami’s financial district, South Beach’s nightlife, and downtown Miami.
Inside the 20,322-square-foot residence is a blend of Old World charm and modern technology. Thirty-foot ceilings make way for Tuscan columns while marble and wood floors rest underneath. Beyond the grand entry hall is a formal living room and adjacent banquet-scale dining room that can easily accommodate large dinner parties, while the family room welcomes social gatherings with a full-size bar with seating for four. A fleet of French doors swing open at the back of the home, creating an effortless indoor-outdoor flow for guests when entertaining.
Embraced by a profusion of tropical landscaping, the expansive terrace features a large swimming pool, adjacent cabana, and dramatic sights of Miami’s unmistakable skyline, creating an a fresco oasis that encourages year-round enjoyment. And who wouldn’t want to be outside when you consider the views? With a pristine pool and ample lounge space, the backyard scene leads to a pri vate dock where vessels up to 90 feet can facilitate a sunset cruise to one of many nearby fine dining options. Thoughtfully planned to enhance a variety of personal pursuits, the residence includes a library with teak flooring, a Florida room, a home gym, an elevator, and a commercial generator.
Superior in location and design, Villa Lourdes is destined to be a family compound unlike any other, a home where unforgettable memories will undoubtedly be made.
