Five Coconut Grove residences offer distinct starting points for collectors, from Casa KORAY’s proposed wine cellar to substantial estate interiors. The decisive comparison is what can be documented: environmental controls, inspection responsibilities and authority to act while an owner is away.
For a collector, the most persuasive residence is not necessarily the one with the largest display room. It is the one whose operating arrangements remain clear when the owner is elsewhere: who notices a leak, who receives a humidity alert and who can authorize an intervention.
The five selections below are Coconut Grove listings, including Casa KORAY, marketed as Coconut Grove. Coral Gables belongs in the wider search and management conversation but has no ranked address here. The order favors advertised wine-and-design features, land, interior scale and residential format-not demonstrated collection-protection performance. Reconfirm asking prices and active status before arranging visits.
For buyers also considering Four Seasons Residences Coconut Grove, the same distinction matters: evaluate the residence separately from the services contract, and request written confirmation of any private-unit oversight.
1. Casa KORAY - 2664 SW 17th Avenue
Advertised at $8.7 million, Casa KORAY takes first place for the clearest wine-and-design proposition: a proposed wine cellar, basement, private elevator, theater and pool. Architecture is by Di Frenna Arquitectos, with Anton Fajardo as developer. The advertised program comprises five bedrooms, four full bathrooms and one half bathroom.
Its Pre-Construction status is fundamental: these are proposed features, not verified installed systems. Before treating the cellar as ready for valuable inventory, request its mechanical specifications, monitoring provisions and commissioning requirements. No purpose-built collector garage is established here.
2. 3373 Poinciana Avenue - approximately 49,042 square feet of land
At a stated $17.4 million, this property stands out for its approximately 49,042-square-foot lot. The residence measures approximately 4,280 square feet, with five bedrooms, six full bathrooms and one half bathroom. For a buyer considering how a collection will coexist with domestic life, the land merits attention.
Land alone does not establish permission or practical capacity for additional garages, storage rooms or other collector facilities. Before assigning value to future possibilities, commission a property-specific review of allowable work and existing conditions. A documented wine cellar or specialized automotive-storage installation is not established.
3. 3210 Coacoochee Street - approximately 10,689 square feet
With a stated asking price of $16.992 million, this six-bedroom residence offers approximately 10,689 square feet, eight full bathrooms and one half bathroom. Its ranking rests on substantial interior scale for a design-focused buyer to assess, rather than an identified specialist collection facility.
The next step is a measured review of potential display and storage areas, circulation and service access. Do not equate available floor area with suitability for vehicles or wine: specialized automotive storage and wine infrastructure require direct verification.
4. 1840 South Bayshore Lane - the shortlist’s largest interior
At approximately 12,863 square feet, this $16.9 million residence has the largest stated interior in the group. Its program includes five bedrooms, seven full bathrooms and two half bathrooms. That scale gives a collector a substantial residential setting to assess.
Scale is not evidence of collection-grade environmental controls. Ask for a room-by-room account of HVAC zones, moisture monitoring and inspection access, then have appropriate specialists assess the intended collection areas. The distinction is between space that accommodates an object and systems specified to protect it.
5. 2655 South Bayshore Drive, Units 1801-02 - the condominium alternative
The condominium selection has a stated asking price of $13.95 million, with approximately 4,833 square feet, six bedrooms, seven full bathrooms and one half bathroom. It offers a different ownership format from the estate options, without establishing a particular private-unit management package.
Before assuming the residence is set up for long absences, obtain written details of inspection access, humidity monitoring and emergency entry. For cars, independently confirm parking rights, dimensions and any applicable restrictions. Neither the unit’s size nor its condominium format establishes collector-ready storage or staff authority to intervene.
Begin with the collection, then assess the rooms. For wine, request intended operating conditions, equipment schedules, service arrangements and, where systems already exist, records demonstrating performance. For furniture, art and design objects, ask the relevant specialists to define suitable conditions rather than applying a universal humidity setting.
For vehicles, request measured clearances, access geometry and written details of ventilation or conditioning. None of these five selections should be purchased on the assumption that a purpose-built collector garage is included.
Leak detection deserves its own review. Ask for a sensor-location plan, the areas left uncovered, notification recipients and any automatic shutoff provisions. Request an appropriate demonstration of the alert sequence, including escalation when the owner does not respond. A device inventory alone is not an operating plan.
Apply those questions equally when evaluating Opus Coconut Grove. An architectural comparison and a technical protection review should remain separate exercises; neither substitutes for the other.
When evaluating independent home oversight in Coconut Grove or Coral Gables, ask whether the proposed scope includes weekly walkthroughs addressing HVAC, plumbing, humidity, security, pool equipment and landscaping, with photographic documentation. Evaluate such services as a separate engagement rather than assuming they accompany any residence on this list.
For a long absence, ask the provider to distinguish scheduled observations from continuous monitoring. Define which rooms are entered, which readings are recorded, how exceptions are communicated and who follows up on repairs. Request inspection records that make changes visible over time, rather than relying solely on a reassuring message after each visit.
Emergency authority warrants equally careful documentation. Have counsel and the relevant property representatives review who may enter, access keys, dispatch contractors, approve expenditure and authorize temporary protective work. Establish a backup decision-maker and a clear escalation sequence. Confirm any building permissions separately from the owner’s instructions.
The stated asking prices range from $8.7 million to $17.4 million, but price is not a proxy for collection readiness. Compare proposed features with completed installations, and separate the acquisition budget from any specialist work identified during diligence.
A buyer extending the search to Ponce Park Coral Gables should carry forward the same brief: suitable collection space, documented environmental performance and explicit responsibility during absences. The most useful comparison is not an amenity count, but how well each residence and its operating arrangements meet those requirements together.

Begin a quiet conversationNo. All five are presented as Coconut Grove listings, with Casa KORAY marketed as Coconut Grove; Coral Gables is part of the broader comparison and oversight discussion.
Its advertised wine cellar and architecture by Di Frenna Arquitectos provide the clearest wine-and-design proposition. The ranking does not establish superior collection-protection performance.
No. It is advertised as an $8.7 million pre-construction estate, so its cellar, basement, elevator, theater and pool are proposed features rather than verified installations.
1840 South Bayshore Lane has approximately 12,863 square feet, the largest stated interior in the shortlist. Its asking price is stated at $16.9 million.
Its approximately 49,042-square-foot lot is the primary differentiator. That land area does not establish permission or capacity for additional collector facilities.
A purpose-built collector garage is not established for any of the five. Buyers should verify parking rights, dimensions, access and environmental provisions directly.
Request sensor locations, uncovered areas, alert recipients and any automatic shutoff provisions. Confirm how alerts escalate when the owner cannot respond.
No private-unit inspection package, humidity-monitoring arrangement or emergency-entry procedure is established for this selection. Each should be confirmed in writing.
It should identify authorized entrants, contractor-dispatch responsibility, spending approvals and backup decision-makers. Have counsel and relevant property representatives review the arrangements.
No. The stated asking prices and listing statuses require reconfirmation before visits or purchase decisions.
