Historic Star Island Home Goes on the Market


June 12, 2017

Before it became the cosmopolitan paradise it is today, Miami Beach consisted of a couple of avocado trees, plenty of mangroves, and was largely desolate. It wasn’t until American entrepreneur Carl G. Fisher set his sights on Miami Beach that the barrier island would go on to become the world-class resort city it is today. Besides his many contributions to Miami Beach, Carl G. Fisher is also known as the father of ultra private Fisher Island, one of the wealthiest communities in the country.

As he developed Miami Beach, Fisher was also responsible for the creation of the Miami Yacht Club on Star Island, which he would eventually turn into his private home. The sprawling 18,000+ square foot mansion recently underwent a full update completed last year and is now available for sale for the first time in three decades, complete with a handsome asking price. Located on the tip of celebrity favorite Star Island, the mansion boasts over forty rooms including more than seven bedrooms, a whopping twelve bathrooms, plus a majestic two-story formal living room. Among the numerous features, there is a wine cellar for up to 3,000 bottles, just over 200 feet of bay frontage, a pair of private docks, boat lift, and much more.

This update is presented by the Miami Beach real estate team representing Blackstone International Realty, specializing in the Continuum in South Beach.
