Two hundred and fifty feet of deep water line the edge of this tropical modern compound in Gables Estates, where a private dock reaches Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic with no fixed bridges along the way. Completed in 2020 on 1.2 acres (52,300 square feet), the residence spans 12,400 square feet of limestone and teak pavilions arranged around a long reflecting pool, with six bedrooms, seven full baths and one half bath.

Planted green roofs keep the silhouettes low, and palm courtyards slip between the volumes so nearly every room opens to a garden or the water. Inside, board-formed concrete, black steel and teak make a restrained, tactile palette. The living pavilion rises to a teak ceiling above walls of steel-framed glass that slide away to the reflecting pool, while the kitchen and dining pavilion looks across a courtyard to the waterway. The primary suite occupies its own wing, with a garden bath and early light over the water.

A separate guest pavilion with a lounge and two en-suite bedrooms gives visitors their own front door. Beyond the resort pool, a tennis court sits among the palms, and the seawall can berth a large yacht. Within the enclave’s 24-hour guarded gates, the compound is offered for sale with mature gardens and a four-car garage.
