39 Tahiti Beach Island Rd

Behind the gates of Tahiti Beach, this British West Indies estate holds 150 feet of Biscayne Bay frontage and a deep-water dock on a 0.9-acre lot of 39,200 square feet. Completed in 2019, the residence offers 9,099 square feet of interior space with six bedrooms, six full baths and two half baths. White clapboard and stucco, louvered shutters, a standing-seam metal roof and wraparound loggias give the house an easy island rhythm, and the enclave’s private beach is a short walk away.

On the main level, warm plaster, honed terracotta and aged brass set a mellow tone. The great room opens through tall French doors to the loggia and pool terrace, and the chef’s kitchen is backed by a full butler’s pantry. Upstairs, the primary suite looks across the water to the mangrove coastline, with a shuttered balcony, two dressing rooms and a soaking tub.

Above the pool cabana, a guest house with its own sitting room, kitchenette and bath gives visitors a private retreat. Royal palms, sea grape and bougainvillea frame the lawn down to the seawall and dock. A three-car garage and a gravel motor court complete an estate offered for sale with the bay at the end of the lawn and the beach at the end of the lane.
