A property on Miami's celebrity-approved Star Island is on the market for $68 million.
It includes a 19,000-square-foot modern main house with floor-to-ceiling windows and an elevator.

The buyer of a $68 million property in one of Florida's most exclusive neighborhoods will not only be getting stunning waterfront views, a sprawling glass mansion, and celebrity neighbors — they'll also be buying a little piece of history.

27 Star Island Drive is one of 35 residences on Miami's Star Island, a small island in the southeast corner of Biscayne Bay, according to listing agent Douglas Elliman. It's just one of the many islands in the area that the ultra-wealthy call home.

The property includes two buildings: a modern house completed in 2019, and a 1920s guest house, which was built by renowned Miami architect Walter De Garmo as the first residence on Star Island, Robb Report reported.
