I got a tour of the only home for sale on Miami's 'Billionaire Bunker,' a private island that hedge-fund billionaires and celebs call home. Here's a look inside the $24 million mansion.
Indian Creek is a village of just 42 people on a tiny private island in Miami's Biscayne Bay. It's been nicknamed the "Billionaire Bunker" for its wildly wealthy and high-profile residents, including billionaire investor Carl Icahn, supermodel Adriana Lima, and Spanish singer Julio Iglesias.
The village's 34 homes are built around the perimeter of the island, giving them all waterfront views. The center of the island is occupied by an 18-hole golf course and a country club.
Homes in the ultra-exclusive island community rarely go on the market. Right now, there's only one house for sale: an eight-bedroom, Mediterranean-style mansion for $24 million.
Luxury realtor Nelson Gonzalez gave me a tour of the home, which sits on a 1.2-acre lot.
The home's backyard includes a resort-style pool with a built-in pool lounge.
Several lounge chairs are scattered throughout the pool area.
The 9,709-square-foot waterfront home was built in 1977 and remodeled in 2016.
Alongside the pool is a covered cabana for al fresco dining and entertaining.
The cabana comes with a grill and kitchen area and is outfitted with a TV, lanterns, and ceiling fans.
From the dock, I spotted the Indian Creek Village Police headquarters across the water, which monitors the only entrance to the island.
The palm trees and resort-like pool area made me feel like I was at a luxury resort rather than a private home.
After touring the lush grounds, I headed inside the home.
The inside of the home is opulently decorated with high ceilings and chandeliers.
The formal dining room includes intricate wood detailing and a painting of Italy.
The chef's kitchen comes with double ovens and a gas range.
Just off the kitchen is a family room that opens up to the backyard and pool area.
Upstairs, the master suite comes with an office and an en-suite bathroom.
The master suite's private balcony overlooks the pool and the dock.
The home has eight bedrooms, 10 full bathrooms, and two half-bathrooms.
One sunny room is set up as a home gym, but it could also be turned into another bedroom.
And a downstairs bedroom is arranged as a children's slumber party room with several bunk beds.
