Real EstateThe Ultimate Private-Island Home

Tax advantages, endless sunshine, sandy beaches, and seriously, the tax advantages. Florida has become an increasingly enticing option for New Yorkers to flee an array of inconveniences. While the allure of being in any of the stunning high-rises from South Beach to Sunny Isles has appeal, there’s no denying that Miami’s bayfront homes on private islands are more sought after than ever. This 10,754-square-foot home on .48 acres on Hibiscus Island not only has 122 feet of water frontage with its own dock, but also lush landscaping, two pools, and a rooftop with 360-degree views of the bay and downtown Miami skyline.
