Miami Beach is known for its high-rise condominiums and big-ticket waterfront mansions. And this 2.3-acre spread along Biscayne Bay is among its most memorable. The nine-bedroom, 15-bathroom spread is the largest waterfront property on prestigious North Bay Road.
Along with 290 feet of direct bay frontage, it comes with a private dock and boat lift, making days on the water as easy as possible. Of course, this sort of super-prime location comes with a price tag to match: The home is being offered by Bespoke Real Estate for a whopping $169 million, and if it sells for anywhere near that price, it would be a solid indicator that the recent demand for trophy properties in and around Miami remains strong.

With 22,000 square feet of living space spread among the main residence, a guest house, and a pool house, it’s the sort of property where everyone has more than enough room to carve out their own private retreat. The primary suite, in particular, is an oasis for the homeowners. The bedroom, topped off by a barrel-vaulted ceiling, has three sets of French doors that open to a waterfront terrace, while dual dressing rooms offer even more privacy, and the morning bar allows you to whip up a cup of coffee or tea to enjoy before having to interact with family members, houseguests, or household staff.
Given that this is south Florida, there’s a heavy focus on wellness and relaxation, with many of the amenities playing to those who care deeply about their health and fitness. The gym is accompanied by a sauna; there’s an indoor racquetball court; and the regulation-size tennis court—a rarity for waterfront homes on North Bay Boulevard—can be used in any season. A 60-foot heated gunite pool sits along the bayfront, where you can also enjoy the warmer waters of the hot tub. The manicured grounds are rounded out with a summer kitchen for all your alfresco hosting needs.

Back inside, the abode is all about high-gloss living. Striking dual staircases in the double-height foyer make for a grand entry. Mirrored walls line the formal dining room, while warmer orange tones accent the living room. The more casual family room is paired with an entertainment bar, while the chef’s kitchen includes a wine room. There’s also a billiards room and a home theater.
Known as Miami Beach’s Billionaire’s Row, North Bay Road is a sinuous, four-mile stretch of pavement where A-list homeowners include Shakira, Michael Bay, and Barry Gibb. Barry Diller picked up his place last year for $45 million, and David and Victoria Beckham splashed out $80 million for their contemporary showpiece on the coveted stretch of pavement, also last year.
