Gables Estates Private Waterfront Community an Oasis in the Shadow of Metropolitan Miami Boasts Acre plus Properties, Boat Basins and Sophistication

Two waterfront islands with winding shore line punctuated with wide lagoons and protected access to Biscayne Bay, comprise Gables Estates, one of Coral Gables’ most prestigious communities just 20 minutes from Miami International Airport and Downtown Miami.  Most properties are one acre or more with at least 150 feet of waterfront. Bridgeless wide and deep waterways provide unique large turning basins for bigger boats and direct access to Biscayne Bay.  
 
Gables Estates has two guard gated entries; roving security patrols both the roads and waterfront regularly.  Membership in Gables Estates Club, www.gablesestatesclubinc.com , is a requirement.   When leasing a property the membership fee is less, and covers a five year period.
 
Gorgeous estates priced up to $22,000,000, where several celebrities live, including Pat Riley of the Miami Heat basketball team http://www.aaarena.com, yet opportunitities to raise an old home and build new starts at $4,950,000!  
 
We visited a home on Leucadendra Drive, and were amazed at its water vistas, perfected architectural details, and stunning infinity pool merging with the lagoon waters.  In the decades we have been viewing real estate, this estate ranks at the top.  An enclosed motor courtyard with four separate garages, custom millwork, tumbled stone floors, winding stair cases, formal open areas, and private dens, libraries and studies, are a few of its many features.  It is located on a spectacular wide, long water view with Biscayne Bay at the horizon. Refreshing, inspiring perfection!
