A Georgian-Inspired Florida Mansion With Venetian Gardens Hits the Market for $8.6 Million
- A luxurious 7,451-square-foot estate in Coral Gables, Miami, inspired by Vizcaya Museum & Gardens, is listed for $8.6 million.
If you've ever strolled through Miami's fastidiously maintained Vizcaya Museum & Gardens and thought, "If only I could live here…"—well, you're in luck. Tucked behind gates in the city's ritzy Coral Gables neighborhood, this palatial estate channels the opulence and romance of Vizcaya with a French twist.
Spread across a lush 17,800-square-foot lot along the Gables Waterway and gazing out at the storied Biltmore Golf Course, this 7,451-square-foot residence is as much a garden fantasy as it is a home. The grounds, originally designed by acclaimed landscape architect Fernando Wong , are an homage to Vizcaya's iconic outdoor artistry. Think sculptural topiaries, winding stone paths, peaceful sitting areas shaded by palms, and even a custom-built aviary wrapped in ornate tropical wrought iron. It's like something out of a Mediterranean daydream.

Listed for $8.6 million by Juan Salas with the Nancy Batchelor Team, the two-story residence delivers equal parts grandeur and whimsy. Every detail is intentional—from the sleek, European Snaidero kitchen to the bespoke bathrooms crafted by Miami's Innovative Surfaces. The hand-painted ceiling mural in the dining room evokes the feeling of sitting beneath a conservatory canopy, while the dramatic bar and cigar lounge, complete with a wine display, is the perfect spot to entertain guests.
The primary suite is a five-star hotel-like retreat, featuring a spa-inspired bath, a private office, and generous closets. A private balcony has a corkscrew staircase down to the backyard oasis. And for those who prefer a bit of separation from their overnight guests, an extra-wide sun-drenched corridor runs alongside the pool to a one-bedroom, one-bath guest house with its own entrance, kitchen, and living room.

Less than 10 miles outside of downtown Miami, Coral Gables has emerged as one of Florida's hottest luxury markets in recent years. During the pandemic, the city's 33156 ZIP code quietly transformed into one of the Sunshine State's most coveted enclaves . Once offering a median listing price around $1 million, the area skyrocketed to $4.6 million by April 2024, according to Realtor.com —making it the second-priciest residential ZIP in the state. Only ultra-exclusive Fisher Island ranks higher.
