Camp Biscayne – Coconut Grove’s Secret Sanctuary
Right off Main Highway in the heart of Coconut Grove, nestled behind lush vegetation and towering oaks is the prestigious, private community of Camp Biscayne. With the entrance located across the street from The Coconut Grove Playhouse, this gated community of just 11 homes is a secluded sanctuary right in the midst of it all and adjacent to the waters of Biscayne Bay.
When I say, in the midst of it all, I mean literally. Many neighborhoods are walking distance from the Village of Coconut Grove but upon exiting Camp Biscayne, you are in the village center. The entrance is set so far back off the street that you really have to know what you are looking for or you will just stroll right on past as many do everyday without even realizing what is concealed behind the unassuming gates.
There are currently 3 homes for sale in Camp Biscayne.
This home located at 3100 Munroe Drive, has 5 bedroom, 5.5 bath, 8,025 sq ft of interior living area and 124 ft of deep water frontage with no bridges to the bay. Asking price $4,875,000.
This home located at 3504 Banyan Circle is a 3 bedroom, 5 bath home with 4,171 sq feet of living area on an 18,625 sq ft lot. Asking Price $3,250,000.

What is truly wonderful about this home is the floor-plan. All of the main living areas open to the wrap around patio complete with the heated pool and gorgeous outdoor entertainment/bar area.
Even though there are 2-story ceilings and it is very spacious, there is still a certain warmth to it that is not often the case with the larger homes. Marble and wood floors throughout, epicurean kitchen, game room and heated pool/spa. Click here to view the complete virtual tour.
Asking price – $1,899,000.

Coral Gables Waterfront – “Big Sale – 40% off”
What a deal!! Who would have thought that a Coral Gables waterfront property would sell for 40% less than the listing price.
List Price: $23,500,000.
Selling Price: $14,100,000.
The property, well actually compound, is 2.75 acres with 6 structures. There are three guest houses, 13 bedrooms, 13 baths and a two story air conditioned garage which accomodates 20+ cars.
285 ft. of deep water dockage on the open bay.
Two story boat house with protected dockage and lifts.
Tennis court and Gazebo
And of course, 22 seat home theater….
So what does this tell us? Basically, it is very hard to determine what a property like this will sell for. As Realtors, we want to do the best job for our clients and part of that is getting the best price we can. In most cases we use comparables to determine the approximate value. In this case, it is such a special property that there really isn’t much to compare with.
This property is located at 158 S. Prospect Drive, Coral Gables and was listed by Sotheby’s International Realty. Click here for more information and additional photos.
