A plot of land next to Jeff Bezos' properties in South Florida is on sale for $200 million.
The property is about 1.84 acres in size and is located at Indian Creek, a private artificial island in Miami-Dade County. Called the "Billionaire Bunker," the island houses properties belonging to Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump, Tom Brady, Carl Icahn, and recent arrival Jeff Bezos.
The asking price — $200 million for the land — is more than what Bezos paid for any of his three properties on the island. In 2023, the Amazon founder purchased a $68 million mansion and an adjacent property for $79 million. In September, he made a third purchase for $90 million. Last year, Bezos said he would be moving to Miami after living in Seattle for 29 years.
The listing was first reported by The New York Post.
Ilya Reznik is representing the owners, who did not want to be identified. Reznik told the New York Post that the owners originally wanted to build on the land but changed plans and decided to sell. He said that the owners bought the land for $27.5 million in 2018.
Reznik told Bloomberg that the sellers are willing to negotiate on price, but he is "confident that in the end the buyer will pay a little extra because Bezos is a neighbor." Reznik added, "Those prices just didn't exist before he came to Indian Creek."
The broker also said that the sellers drew pre-designs for a 25,000-square-foot estate on the property that would be available to the buyer.
The New York Post reported that the land also comes with 200 feet of Biscayne Bay waterfront, which allows the owner to build a deep-water dock for a 180-foot megayacht.
The highly secure island is located about 15 miles from Miami and is only accessible via a single bridge connecting it to the mainland. It has about 40 homes over 300 acres and an ultra-exclusive country club. The island's police department monitors the area's only entrance and patrols the perimeter around the clock.
