Journey’s End: A Private and Exclusive Coral Gables Community

Journey’s End is just what its namesake states; private winding streets throughout the community with only 18 homeowners.  Most sites are 2 acres and located on meandering canals leading to Biscayne Bay.  Located next to Matheson Hammock Park, just east of historic Old Cutler Road, it has tennis courts and a private marina with boat slips.  A beautiful oak laded park setting has some of Coral Gables oldest, largest oak trees supporting indigenous wildlife and exotic birds. 

Developed and owned by philanthropist and industrialist,  Arthur Vining Davis in the mid-1950’s, it was his answer to a dream of privacy within the shadow of larger Miami-Dade County.  Davis developed a process to manufacture aluminum and was owner of Alcoa (American Aluminum Company).  Upon retirement he moved to Miami and began purchasing land, and at one time owned 1/8 of Miami Dade County, making him the third richest individual in the world by.  Journey’s End is one of his first communities, is 20 minutes from the airport and three popular city/communities:  Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, and South Miami, with the best supporting amenities and schools.

Journey’s End is one of many communities he developed during his life, leaving a unique retreat for those homeowner’s seeking prestige, privacy and quality of life.
