Hi Paris,
After so many trips to Miami, I was so glad to hear that you are finally considering buying a property here. There are so many places I know you will like, but I will narrow it down to three until I can get a feel for what you are really looking for. By the way, I know how frightening it must have been to be next to Kid Rock and Tommy Lee when they started fighting last Sunday at the VMA's. I'm sure it is not the first time you've seen that, glad you were not in the middle.
Here are the specs you sent me in your last e-mail:
- looking to purchase a single family home (will consider a posh penthouse)
- 4 Bedroom/2 baths at least
- 4,000 sf or greater
- Gated Community or enough land to create a zone of privacy
- needs decent access to airport as she travels a lot
- Must have a pool
- Cash buyer, no limits!
Thank you for the pictures of your new Beverly Hills home, it will definitely make it easier to narrow down the choices.
With those in mind, I narrowed the areas down to Star Island, SoFi and Fisher Island. Your choice will depend on privacy and ease of commute, but all three are definitely HOT!
Let's start with Star Island - as you may know, this is the place for celebrities. If you want privacy, this is it! It has easy access to the airport and SoBe, but there's only one down side - there is only one house available there that is worth your while. It belongs to someone whose name I can't mention but I can give you a hint. His name begins with SHHHHHH and it ends with AQ! Any Miami Heat fan would know who this guy is. It may be a little bigger than what you are looking for with 8 bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, 3 half baths and 19,440 square feet of living space. Take a look at this LINK for the MLS information and here are some pictures. The price tag is $32million, a bit more than your Beverly Hills crib, but I'm sure that's not an issue. (There is a great room next to the Master Bedroom that would make an amazing shoe room).
.....and just in case you have any doubts, here's a picture I took from our boat a couple of months ago.
SoFi is the area in South Beach that is South of fifth street - It's close enough to the action, but Paparazzi are rampant. My favorite building in SoFi is The Continuum because of its location. It's in the Southern most tip on the ocean with amazing views of the Atlantic as well as the Intracoastal. This Continuum Residence has 4 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms and 1 half-bath with 4378 square feet of living area. It has a private keyed elevator and the views will say it all (and of course it's a full amenity building, I would not send you anything less, with spa, gym, restaurant......etc.). Take a look at The MLS LINK with more photos (It's listed at $7.3 million).
Lastly - if you want privacy and exclusivity, Fisher Island is where it's at! You can only access it by ferry, airplane or helicopter and once inside you will feel like you are in a different world - no paparazzi and total privacy. The down side is having to catch the ferry in and out of the island, but it only takes about 15 minutes (it's not a big deal). This particular listing is ours and although the decor needs a little updating, it's nothing your interior designer couldn't handle and the wrap around terrace on the ocean will take your breath away. It has 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and 1 half bath with 3,140 square feet of living space and over 1500 square feet of covered terraces. Take a look at the listing's website at www.FisherIslandDrive.com, and here's a real estate show of Fisher Island to give you an idea of what it is like. The price tag is $4.2 million, not bad for a private get-away!
Give me some feedback on these properties when you have a chance and we will continue the search for the perfect PARIS HILTON MIAMI HOME!
