Signature Penthouse at Vita at Grove Isle Furnished by Artefacto Hits the Market for $23.5 Million

A landmark two-level penthouse with private 40’ rooftop pool in the nearly sold-out waterfront development by renowned Miami developer Ugo Colombo of CMC Group has hit the market for $23.5 million listed with Nelson Gonzalez, Senior Vice President and top-producer with over $4 billion in career sales at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices (BHHS) EWM Realty.

SOLE PH‑1 at Vita at Grove Isle (5 Grove Isle Dr., Coconut Grove, Fla.) is offered fully furnished by Artefacto – the internationally acclaimed interior design brand. The residence spans nearly 13,000 square feet of total living space, including 7,000 square feet of interiors and 5,600 square feet of outdoor spaces. Atop it all sits a striking, private 40-foot rooftop pool with uninterrupted vistas of Biscayne Bay and the downtown Miami skyline. With an asking price of $23.5 million, SOLE PH‑1 is the largest and most expansive residence within the boutique island development.

“This penthouse stands apart in Coconut Grove,” said Gonzalez. “It is rare to find a condo with such abundance of private amenities, typically found only in a single-family home. In addition to the private amenities, residents get to enjoy additional amenities and luxuries offered by Vita at Grove Isle, and another layer of security offered by private-island living. For buyers seeking privacy, outdoor living with sweeping views, and immediate access to Miami’s cultural and social hubs, SOLE PH‑1 is truly a standout opportunity.”

The four-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bath residence is accessed via a private elevator that opens into a grand foyer, leading to expansive living areas defined by 11-foot ceilings and walls of glass that fully retract to connect the interiors with 13-foot-deep waterfront terraces. Designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living, the home features finely appointed Artefacto interiors and premium finishes throughout, including a Molteni kitchen with Miele appliances, frameless Barausse doors, and an integrated Crestron smart home system with Lutron HomeWorks lighting.

The Bayfront primary suite has a spa-inspired, book-matched marble bath and oversized double closets, while three additional guest bedrooms with en-suite baths capture serene water views from the opposite side of the residence. A sculptural spiral staircase ascends to the penthouse’s signature, 97-foot-long rooftop terrace – an elevated entertainment environment featuring the 40-foot pool, a summer kitchen, and multiple lounge areas framed by waterfront panoramas.

“From the outset, Vita at Grove Isle was designed to highlight Coconut Grove’s natural beauty and elegant lifestyle,” said Ugo Colombo, Founder and CEO of CMC Group and developer of Vita. “SOLE PH‑1 elevates that vision, pairing grand-scale indoor-outdoor living with meticulous craftsmanship and a rooftop environment that embraces the surrounding water and skyline.”

The offering arrives as Vita continues to see strong closing momentum following its completion in late 2025. The seven-story, 65-residence building is now nearing sellout, having recently reported nearly $400 million in closings in under 60 days. Average residence prices stand at approximately $8.5 million, with a notable share surpassing $10 million. At the top of the market, Vita has recorded multiple penthouse transactions above $15 million, including several exceeding $20 million, underscoring the project’s position within South Florida’s rapidly expanding super-prime residential landscape.

“Miami – and Coconut Grove, in particular – is firmly on the radar of ultra-high-net-worth buyers,” Gonzalez added. “Today’s top buyers want more than just turnkey interiors or smart technology…they’re looking for outdoor living and waterfront experiences that feel effortless and extraordinary. SOLE PH‑1 delivers on all fronts, combining scale, privacy, and panoramic vistas in a market where homes like this are increasingly hard to find.”

Set on a 20-acre private island, Vita at Grove Isle grants residents exclusive access to the Grove Isle Racquet & Yacht Club, which features eight Har-Tru tennis courts, pickleball and padel courts, along with a bayfront pool and poolside bar. The development will soon welcome La Sponda, an Italian waterfront restaurant opening this summer with views of Biscayne Bay. Additional amenities include private resident event spaces, a spa, fitness center, and yoga studio.

With only a limited collection of residences remaining, SOLE PH-1 represents a singular opportunity to acquire one of the largest and most distinctive penthouses currently available in Coconut Grove – within a development that has quickly emerged as one of the neighborhood’s most sought-after waterfront addresses.

La Gorce Island Estate Known As 'OKTO' With 260' Of Waterfront Sells For Record $75 Million

The lavish La Gorce Island mega-mansion, known as “OKTO” – marked by 260 feet of jaw-dropping waterfrontage – has sold for $75 million. Located on Miami Beach’s exclusive La Gorce Island gated community, the property went under contract just two weeks after it was listed with Nelson Gonzalez, Senior Vice President and top-producer at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices (BHHS) EWM Realty.

Located at 88 La Gorce Circle, the two-story estate – the collaborative vision of revered developer Todd Michael Glaser and architect Carlos Prio-Touzet – garnered the highest price ever paid for a single-family home in the guard-gated island enclave. It is additionally the second-most expensive single-family home sale to date for the City of Miami Beach. Neither the buyer nor seller was disclosed.

“Even among the extraordinary estates of La Gorce Island, OKTO has been a standout, as evidenced by how quickly it went under contract,” said Gonzalez. “The property’s prime and exclusive location, singular design, and monumental size have made it truly unique, and we knew how to effectively market those attributes to the most discerning buyers.”

The contemporary, resort-style retreat features nine bedrooms, 12 and three half-baths and wide views of the Bay and Intracoastal Waterway. Well-sited on a verdant, 1.1-acre lot (48,027 square feet), the residence is also known as one of the community’s largest single-family offerings.

In addition to a grand entrance that opens to a 100-foot-long living room with soaring ceilings, distinct architectural details throughout the mansion include a Guggenheim-inspired staircase, fine finishes, spectacular custom lighting, and floor-to-ceiling walls of glass. A chef’s kitchen, formal dining room, and gym complete the first floor, while an entertainment room, opulent primary suite with a sprawling closet and deluxe bath, and a wide terrace are well-appointed on the second level. Additional amenities include an elevator, two stately docks, a 100-foot pool overlooking the water, and a rooftop space for year-round entertaining and respite. There is also a guesthouse, five-car garage, and a two-bedroom staff quarters.

“It was a privilege to have facilitated this record transaction in only two weeks,” continued Nelson Gonzalez. “In 2021, we listed the property at $38.5 million and received two offers quickly, but the seller wasn’t ready to sell, so we took it off the market. Now, just four years later, we’ve sold it -- impressively for double that price. It is a true testament to the growth of the market and sustained strong demand for unique, ultra-luxury properties in Miami Beach. That plus our proven track record for successfully implementing strategic launches and hyper-targeted marketing of residences of this caliber continue to result in win-wins for buyers and sellers.”

The La Gorce Island enclave – marked by towering Royal Palms at its entrance and magnificent water views – is one of the most sought-after gated communities in the area. It has long been a haven for high-profile celebrities, including such famed past residents as Cher and Billy Joel. The enclave is minutes from the renowned La Gorce Country Club and golf course, Lincoln Road, Bal Harbour Shops, and is approximately 20 minutes from Miami International Airport. It is also well-protected by 24-hour roving security, including a patrol boat that circles the island each night.

Adrienne Arsht's Bayfront Estate Sells For Record $106 Million Becoming First Residential Property To Break $100 Million Threshold

For the first time in Miami-Dade County history, a residential property sale has crossed the $100 million threshold. The Arsht Estate, a four-acre waterfront compound owned by Adrienne Arsht, one of the most revered business leaders and philanthropists in the United States, sold today for $106,875,000.

Top-producing Senior Vice President Ashley Cusack with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices EWM Realty represented Arsht. Jill Hertzberg of The Jills Zeder Group with Coldwell Banker represented the buyer, who is undisclosed.

“As the steward of this beautiful property, I am proud to leave its legacy to the next generations of caretakers,” said Arsht. “May they also enjoy the breathtaking view!”

“It has been an honor to represent this landmark estate, which is truly one of the most magnificent in the U.S. -- fully steeped in Miami’s history,” said Cusack. “Pairing that prominence with Ms. Arsht’s commitment to community has been all the more impactful.”

Neighbored by the historic Vizcaya Museum, The Arsht Estate encompasses more than 25,000 square feet of exquisitely detailed structures. Overlooking Biscayne Bay from atop one of Miami’s highest bayfront elevations, it features more than 400 feet of water frontage, as well as panoramic views of Key Biscayne and downtown Miami. Throughout the years, the property -- often referred to as South Florida’s “embassy” -- has been the backdrop for numerous important events and gatherings involving international luminaries, including U.S. presidents, ambassadors, and world leaders.

The Arsht Estate’s primary residence, known as Indian Spring, was built by Arsht in 1999 and designed by Jose A. Gelabert-Navia, the former Dean of the University of Miami School of Architecture. All living areas in the home offer views of the grounds and Biscayne Bay. Built to accommodate grand-scale entertaining, additional highlights include a Great Room, expansive courtyard entryway, formal dining room with seating for more than 20 guests, a primary bedroom suite with a full gym, and a grand foyer with a sweeping staircase. Indian Spring also has a six-car garage with an upstairs apartment and private office, bayfront swimming pool, and a lighted tennis court.

The second residence, Villa Serena, was built in 1913 by former U.S. Secretary of State and three-time U.S. presidential candidate William Jennings Bryan and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Designed by architect August Geiger, the home also has unobstructed Biscayne Bay views and was carefully restored by Arsht to reflect its original glory. Its unique design includes two ornate staircases, which access private upstairs sleeping quarters, as well as a detached guest house situated above a three-car garage.

Arsht, a native Delawarean, divides her time among Washington, DC, Miami, and New York. In Miami, she was Chairman of the Board of TotalBank. Arsht’s vast philanthropy includes the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts in Miami; The Atlantic Council's Adrienne Arsht Latin America Center and Adrienne Arsht-Rockefeller Foundation Resilience Center, each located in Washington, DC; the Adrienne Arsht Stage at Alice Tully Hall in New York's Lincoln Center; and funding for the first all-paid internships at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

“This will be a very important day for future Miami historians,” said Ron Shuffield, President & CEO of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices EWM Realty. “The first residential property in Miami to surpass the $100 million sale mark will forever hold a prominent place in Miami’s history. Today’s record sale is a testament to the ever-increasing global interest in our hometown.”
