Star Island –Miami’s Most Sought-After Properties
The city of Miami is as eclectic as it comes. Our ‘Magic City’ as it is called by locals and visitors, truly has a bewitching air about it. Miami has a lot of unique items to suit just about any proclivity such as striking food, amazing nightlife, spectacular beaches, and many attractions. One of the most prolific and prized real estate attractions in South Florida is Star Island.
Star Island is an exclusive real estate community that sits amidst the aquamarine waters of the Biscayne Bay, between Miami Beach and the mainland. The Biscayne Bay Aquatic Preserve makes up the waters that surround the island. This gated enclave is the preferred home for many of Miami’s wealthy elite and several celebrities because of its extreme privacy, stunning waterfront location, and its limited amount of residents.
Stars Who call Star Island Home
Because of the seclusion and privacy that the island offers, many celebrities have chosen to make their homes here. The homes in this star-studded community each have their own irresistible charm. Among some of the past and current residents of this island paradise are Julio Iglesias, Shaquille O’Neal, Rosie O’ Donnell, Sean Combs, Gloria Estafan, Multi-Billionaire Phillip Frost, Harvey Firestone, Al Capone, Madonna, Naomi Campbell, Sylvester Stallone, Kanye West, and Paulina Rubiom among others. My personal favorite resident is Thomas Kramer. For years he has been the house party king of Miami, throwing one decadent event after the next.
Extravagant Star Island Homes
The Star Island homes for sale are high on the glamour quotient and expertly finished and appointed. There are only 34 properties on this exclusive island paradise, each of which is widely coveted due to its fantastic location and extreme seclusion that it offers. Every home is a waterfront mansion that rests on over 40,000 square feet of land or more.
The prices for these homes range from anywhere between $18,900,000 to $40,00,000, depending on the area and location of the home. Rental prices range from $30,000 to $150,000 per month.
Spacious Lots
Billionaire Phillip Frost and his wife own the largest property on Star Island – a 28,000 square feet mansion that rests on a 6 acre piece of land. Another iconic property on the island is 42 Star Island Drive, which was built all the way back in 1925. Situated on a 48,266 square feet lot, overlooking the spectacular Biscayne Bay, with 205 linear feet of water frontage, the home has 7 bathrooms, 8 bedrooms, and 3 guest houses. There is also an 8-ton boat lift with 4 boat slips on the property and a top-of-the-line security system.
Close Proximity to Downtown Miami and South Beach
This dazzling island is surrounded by other islands such as Hibiscus, Palm, and the Venetian Islands, all of which are within arm’s reach to the fun and vibrant lifestyle that Miami has to offer. Residents can enjoy all the action of South Beach in mere minutes, thanks to the island’s proximity to the MacArthur Causeway.
