Called ‘The Beach House’, 222 Ocean Drive is the only single family home that exists on world-famous Ocean Drive in South Beach…and it’s not only on Ocean Drive, but it’s also in the amazing ‘South of Fifth’ neighborhood, my favorite neighborhood in Miami Beach. There is literally nothing like this home, anywhere. It’s DIRECTLY across the street from the Atlantic Ocean and it’s hidden in plain sight in the epicenter of one of the most famous streets in North America. 222 Ocean Drive is literally steps away from the best restaurants in Miami and one of the best beaches in the World.  The home is currently owned by Shareef Malnik, owner of ‘The Forge’ restaurant in Miami Beach.

222 Ocean Drive has 7,050 SF of pristine living space, and easily bests the style of Calvin Klein’s Miami Beach house that I wrote about a few months ago. The Beach House was originally constructed in 1930, and was totally renovated in 2014 by Briggs Edward Solomon. Briggs Edward Solomon specializes in calm, earthy, organic design, which my readers are probably aware, is one of my favorite design styles. The craziness of South Beach can only be tamed with an interior design style such as this. We all want a zen-like retreat to escape the South Beach lifestyle!

222 Ocean Drive has 4 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, a beautiful minimalist fireplace, a 2 car garage, walk-in wine vault, a home theatre, a private pool on the roof, a sun deck, a summer kitchen, and some architecturally stunning features such as the central staircase (see photos below!). The flooring is 11″ Wide Oscar Ono rustic wood planks throughout the home. The kitchen features Miele, Subzero and Viking appliances with white quartz counters. The entire home is automated with touchpad controls by Crestron.

North Bay Road Homes For Sale:

The original house on Mashta Point.

Mashta House, the estate of one of Key Biscayne’s founding families, the Matheson’s, just sold for $47 million, becoming the second most expensive sale in Miami-Dade County in 2015, and the most expensive sale ever in the history of Key Biscayne.

This estate sold for $4,052 per square foot.

Jorge Uribe listed the home in September 2014 for $60 million, then reduced the price to $55 million in May. The home finally sold on December 23, 2015. Someone got themselves an incredible Christmas present.

Uribe represented both the seller and the buyer, likely netting himself close to a $3 million commission. The owners of the property paid $1.3 million for it in 1989, garnering themselves a quite impressive $45 million+ profit.

This sale matches the all-time record for any single-family home sale in Miami-Dade County; the $47 million sale of 3 Indian Creek Island back in 2012. The only sale price that beat this one in 2015 was the $60 million sale of the Faena House penthouse in Miami Beach to billionaire Ken Griffin.

MASHTA HOUSE ORIGINAL POST PRIOR TO SALE:

A Key Biscayne waterfront mansion called Mashta House, located at 775 S Mashta Dr, Key Biscayne, FL 33149, that’s situated on a private 2 acre peninsula with a private cove is now listed for $60 million.

If it sells for its asking price, this property will set the record for the most expensive residential sale in history in Miami. The current record was set in 2012 by a $47 million sale of an Indian Creek Island house. A penthouse at Faena House in Miami Beach priced at $50 million is in contract, but hasn’t closed yet.

Known as Mashta Point, the crescent-shaped property sticks out into Biscayne Bay with a man-made cove and a deep-water harbor. The 12,000-square-foot house was built in the early 1990’s. It has 6 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms, an elevator, a pool, and dock. The house currently rents out for $50,000 a month.

Mashta Point was originally constructed on the Bay side of Key Biscayne by William John Matheson, who owned an extensive coconut plantation on the island. where : Matheson built the custom-designed “Moorish-style palace” as an entertainment centerpiece and island hideaway for his family and guests. Mashta, an Arabic word, means “Resting House” and “Where Waters Meet.”, a perfect name for this island paradise home. Mashta House was originally built on manmade filled swampland.
