EL PALMAR 700 CASUARINA CONCOURSE, CORAL GABLES

Minutes from Miami’s most vibrant neighborhoods you’ll find El Palmar, a private oasis in the highly exclusive waterfront community of Gables Estates.

As you drive down the peaceful, tree-lined roads of Coral Gables, the property’s majestic main gates welcome you to a storybook setting crafted by renowned architect Cesar Molina and landscape artist Raymond Jungles.

A long, winding driveway slowly reveals a landscape of towering palms, native shrubs, coral rock paths and a hand-dug koi pond, where the masterful play of scale and texture culminates in a tropical paradise.

Unlike most residences, El Palmar was designed to accommodate separate structures in order to maximize the comfort of residents and guests. Two private guest suites with individual bathrooms connect the front landscape with a manicured courtyard through covered pathways. The courtyard leads to six garage spaces and the main residence, which is flanked by a large gazebo and a well-appointed boathouse overlooking the waterway.

Every structure’s architecture was inspired by the idyllic island homes of the Caribbean and the seaside masterpieces of exotic Bali. As you step through the double doors into the main residence, you are greeted by a custom imperial staircase and stately, double-height ceilings. Every element was planned and executed in meticulous detail — from the custom cabinetry, impact windows and coffered ceilings, to the hand-picked mahogany wood doors and the luscious Brazilian Walnut floors.

This level of detail also went into the versatile layout, as living spaces can be kept integrated, with natural light flowing from one open room to another, or divided for more intimate gatherings. The home’s orientation allows Miami’s stunning sunrises to be enjoyed from the master suite and pool area, while cooling southeast breezes flow from the water into the residence through multiple oversized doors.

The main level features an open living room across an elegant and quiet library with a wood-burning fireplace, a temperatureand humidity-controlled wine cellar with a 2,000-bottle capacity and an expansive kitchen with a spacious, walk-in pantry and top-of-the-line appliances, which is connected to a pub-style bar and a family room.

Additional features include a powder room with a hand-chiseled stone counter and sink, an elevator hidden behind a mahogany door, storage nooks throughout the home and a private service wing with a large laundry area, two comfortable bedrooms and a Jack-and-Jill bathroom.

Up the stairs is the master suite, a peaceful retreat in itself accessible via its own, private sitting room. The suite is connected to a foyer leading to dual walk-in closets and bathrooms, one of which features a luxurious, built-in, sunken bath. The master suite is joined on the second level by four master-sized bedrooms with built-in sound systems, walk-in closets and en-suite bathrooms, as well as a convenient kitchenette. Every room leads to the wide, covered balcony that wraps around the home offering striking views of the grounds and waterway.

Outdoors, the terraces lined beside the home are connected to a cabana bath indoors and overlook a large pool with changing depths for swimming and sitting, ideal for entertaining friends and family.

The home’s pub-style bar opens to the pool area so cocktails and hors d’oeuvres can be enjoyed under the Miami sun year-round.

As the sun sets, the gazebo’s summer kitchen is fully equipped to prepare an al fresco dinner to be served in its sitting areas or poolside.

Set on some of Miami’s most prized waterfront land, the property has a total of 335’+/- of water frontage and no bridges to bay.

A private and custom 36’x106’ boat inlet, large enough to hold a 100+ ft yacht while still accommodating another smaller vessel, keeps water-crafts safe and out of sight, allowing for uninterrupted water views and giving residents enough room to leave the back dock open for guests to easily visit by boat.

Beside the inlet, a bungalow-style boathouse offers the perfect environment to unwind after a day at sea. With the ground level dedicated fully to boating equipment storage, the top level offers a seamless indoor/outdoor space as the living room and bar fully open to the veranda through remote-controlled shades and wide sliding doors. The boathouse bar is fully equipped with freezers, a dishwasher, built-in cabinetry and a custom wooden bar top while the living room is equipped with a 60� TV for an afternoon of sports-watching with friends. An independent service gate with its own courtyard is available directly in front of the boathouse for gatherings and events.

Every inch of El Palmar was thoughtfully designed to be enjoyed in its own, special way.

From the luxuriant outdoors to the extraordinary yet intimate interiors, each space flows seamlessly into the other to create one impressive estate with unique character.

El Palmar is a truly serene, tropical paradise in the heart of one of Miami’s safest and most exclusive communities.
