The 1.84-acre property is on Indian Creek, a private, man-made island in Miami-Dade County that’s known as the “Billionaire Bunker.” The island is home to properties owned by Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump, Tom Brady, Carl Icahn, and Jeff Bezos.
Bezos owns three properties totaling $237 million on the exclusive island — two of the properties are next to each other, and he has plans to build one massive estate. Realtor.com reported that the third mansion, where he and his wife Lauren Snchez Bezos currently live, is a temporary residence while the other property is being finished.
The lot that sold next door to Bezos’ adjoining properties originally had an asking price of $200 million. That listing first went live in December 2024. By April of the following year, the price had dropped to $130 million.
Ilya Reznik, who represented the sellers, told Business Insider in 2024 that the high price was due to the unique location — and the arrival of Bezos.
Bezos “did pay the numbers, which are really high,” Reznik said. “But now those prices are there and the market is there and higher.”
Miami-Dade property records show Reznik’s clients, who did not want to be identified, bought the property for $27,500,000 in 2018. While the previous owners never built anything on the property, the listing notes that predesigns for a 25,000-square-foot estate on the property would be available to the buyer.
The buyer used a trust managed by Miami attorney Joseph Hernandez, according to records, but the buyer’s identity remains unknown.
Indian Creek is about 15 miles from Miami. The highly secure island is accessible only by a single bridge connecting it to the mainland. It has about 40 homes over 300 acres and an ultra-exclusive country club. The island’s police department monitors the area’s only entrance and patrols the perimeter around the clock.
