Fisher Island became an island in 1906 when the US government, looking to ease port traffic, dug a canal called Government Cut, separating the land from South Beach. The newly-created island was sold in 1919 to real estate mogul Carl Fisher. A year later, Fisher traded the island to monied heir William Vanderbilt II for a large boat and $10. The Vanderbilts owned Fisher Island for the next two decades, building several large homes, an airplane landing dock, and an ornate mansion that is still the highlight of the island. Since Vanderbilt’s death in 1944, ownership has changed several times, with the renowned Fisher Island Club remaining since 1987.
HISTORY
PRESENT
Completely private and yet only a few minutes away from South Beach and from downtown Miami, Fisher Island offers a resort lifestyle which includes an array of unmatched amenities including golf, tennis, a private beach and beach club, wellness center and spa, 2 deep water marinas, several fine dining options, a boutique hotel and even a private elementary and middle school. Accessible by ferry, helicopter or yacht, these privileges are available to residents only.
With a high demand for privacy and large residences, in part because of the current state, the newest additions Palazzo della Luna and Palazzo del Sol offer that and so much more. Mediterranean architectural elements inspired by the resort living on the island were conceptualized by architect Kobi Karp. Both properties are seamlessly united by Enzo Enea’s refined landscape designs, curated for an authentic full-sensory experience with nature .
Starting at 6.5 to $40 million, the residences at Palazzo Della Luna and Palazzo Del Sol offer a variety of sizes and floor plans from 3 to 7 bedrooms ranging between 3,800 and 10,000 sq. ft.
