Embracing age-old ideals while artfully fashioned for today’s world, this expansive courtyard estate sprawls stately on a double lot along Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club’s championship golf course. Inspired by the majestic architecture and formal gardens of Miami’s landmark Vizcaya and other world acclaimed estates, this newly built compound was created under the direction of David Easton, an award-winning New York-based architect and interior designer lauded as one of America’s leading classicists and one of Architectural Digest’s AD 100 Designers.
The arrival at the grand motor court is impressive, yet gives just a hint of the Old World splendor that lies within. Beyond filigreed iron gates, the colonnaded entrance courtyard preludes the equally stunning indoor spaces, beginning with the statuesque formal great room. Exquisite finish work throughout is without equal, imprinting the eclectic European styling with refined opulence. A remarkable sense of intimacy tempers the palatial overall scale, with each room having its own unique character and many opening onto a series of terraces amid dramatic Italian formal gardens. Secluded in another courtyard, the resort-style fountained pool with mosaic glass detail completes the enchanting tableau of this absolutely one-of-a-kind trophy estate.
