The trophy-listings moment in South Florida
South Florida’s ultra-luxury market is in a familiar phase, but with sharper edges: headline-level asking prices at the very top, alongside a quieter layer of controlled access and private negotiations. In early 2026, a public scan of the region’s priciest active listings was led by a $200 million estate on Indian Creek, followed by multiple offerings priced above roughly $39 million. Paired with reports that Miami-Dade sales above $10 million were on pace to set records, the takeaway is not that every trophy home will close at its public number. It is that demand, scarcity, and lifestyle migration continue to support an unusually deep and visible top end.
For buyers and sellers, these listings serve as a temperature check. They highlight where the market believes the next premium is justified: heightened security, uncompromising waterfront, rare land positions, or condominium living that functions like a private home in the sky. They also underline a key reality: South Florida’s trophy tier is not one market. It is a network of micro-markets, from Indian Creek to Palm Beach’s Estate Section to Hillsboro Mile, each with its own pricing logic and buyer expectations.
Top 10 priciest active listings (public asking prices)
1. 7 Indian Creek Island Rd – Indian Creek, Miami-Dade Priced at $200,000,000 asking, this bayfront Indian Creek listing sits in a municipality widely known for heavy security and a concentration of ultra-wealthy residents. The “Billionaire Bunker” reputation is a meaningful part of the premium, paired with the simple scarcity of available homes.
The property has been promoted as Miami’s priciest new listing, and it has been linked in public coverage to designer and architect Ferris Rafauli. Regardless of the final outcome, it establishes the current public benchmark for Miami-Dade.
2. 800 S County Rd – Palm Beach, Palm Beach County At $175,000,000 asking, this Palm Beach estate is positioned as a landmark-caliber offering within the town’s Estate Section. Public reporting has emphasized renovation and historic significance, a combination that can create its own category of scarcity.
Palm Beach’s top tier is often priced on a different currency than “newness” alone: provenance, land value, and the feel of a finished legacy.
3. 1260 S Ocean Blvd – Manalapan, Palm Beach County Priced at $85,000,000 asking, this Manalapan oceanfront listing reflects the town’s rising profile among national trophy buyers. Modern oceanfront options at this scale are uncommon, which is central to the appeal.
Manalapan’s positioning often lands between Palm Beach formality and a more private, residential shoreline rhythm.
4. 1100 S Flagler Dr Units 2401/2402 – West Palm Beach, Palm Beach County At $78,900,000 asking, this combined offering at The Bristol is marketed at nearly 20,000 square feet, placing it among the country’s most expensive condominium opportunities. It also shows how West Palm Beach can compete, not by replicating estate living, but by translating it into a singular, service-forward vertical residence.
For a segment of buyers, a mega-penthouse is the cleanest expression of “lock-and-leave,” with a scale that still reads as a true primary home.
5. 10203 Collins Ave #2801 – Bal Harbour, Miami-Dade With a $75,000,000 asking price, this Oceana Bal Harbour penthouse reinforces Bal Harbour’s role as a luxury condominium stronghold. The offering has been noted for significant outdoor terrace space, a critical attribute when buyers want a home in the sky without giving up outdoor living.
At the top of this segment, the terrace is not an accessory. It is a major living environment and a core driver of value.
6. 1107 Hillsboro Mile – Hillsboro Beach, Broward County Priced at $59,950,000 asking, this ocean-to-Intracoastal compound reflects Hillsboro Mile’s identity as “millionaire’s mile.” Ocean-to-waterway layouts compress multiple lifestyles into one address: beach, boating, and privacy.
In a corridor like Hillsboro Mile, the land-to-water relationship is often the true product being purchased.
7. 1413 N Venetian Way – Miami, Miami-Dade At $59,900,000 asking, this modern bayfront home on the Venetian Islands captures the premium for being close to the city’s core while living directly on the water. This is a different trophy category than Indian Creek: more urban adjacency, more architectural modernity, and a shorter bridge ride to cultural and dining districts.
For many buyers, Venetian Islands living is about immediate access to both the bay and Miami’s daily energy.
8. 6 Riverview Rd – Jupiter Island, Martin County Priced at $49,000,000 asking, this Jupiter Island offering is described as a large Intracoastal-front estate parcel. Jupiter Island’s scarcity is part of its mythology: limited land, limited access, and a market that can feel intentionally underexposed.
At this level, a “parcel” can be the ultimate luxury because it preserves optionality.
9. 6315 S Flagler Dr – West Palm Beach, Palm Beach County At $42,500,000 asking, this newly built contemporary waterfront home adds another data point for West Palm Beach’s expanding luxury profile. New construction can reset expectations when paired with a location that long belonged to a quieter pricing era.
It also reflects a broader buyer preference for move-in-ready design, particularly for second-home ownership.
10. 84 La Gorce Cir – Miami Beach, Miami-Dade Priced at $39,000,000 asking, this waterfront lot or home in guard-gated La Gorce Island sits within the durable appeal of Miami Beach’s private island enclaves. The gated setting is not simply a feature. It is the framework for value.
In Miami Beach, the most persistent premium is often the blend of water, privacy, and neighborhood control.
What these public numbers do, and do not, signal
Public asking prices at this level are signals, not settlements. They communicate an owner’s conviction about scarcity and the buyer pool they intend to reach. In some cases, they also serve as market-making, defining a psychological ceiling for comparable properties that may trade more quietly.
Florida’s dominance at the top of U.S. luxury real estate has been reinforced by national reporting, including a Redfin analysis that Florida accounted for half of the ten most expensive U.S. home sales in 2025. Media coverage has also tied that dominance to billionaire activity and relocation narratives, including widely covered Miami purchases by Larry Page. The point for a South Florida buyer is not celebrity. It is confirmation that the state’s top tier functions as a destination market, not only a regional one.
A practical caution remains: availability and pricing can shift quickly, and a meaningful share of true trophy inventory never becomes fully visible on public portals. In this market, that opacity is not a bug. It is part of how the segment operates.
Condo penthouses versus compound estates: two definitions of “complete”
At the apex, South Florida offers two answers to the same question: what does a “complete” life look like?
The estate answer is land, a private shoreline, and the ability to build a world without shared walls. It helps explain why Indian Creek and Palm Beach continue to command attention even as top-tier condominium product improves. In these neighborhoods, security, municipal governance, and neighbor profile are often embedded in the purchase decision.
The penthouse answer is different: a single floor, or combined floors, that delivers scale, views, and service with minimal operational friction. West Palm Beach has become a clear expression of this, highlighted by the mega-penthouse offering at The Bristol. For buyers who split time, the ability to arrive, close the door, and have everything handled is not convenience. It is freedom.
The privacy premium and the whisper layer
In South Florida, the most expensive properties frequently occupy two markets at once: the public market that shapes narrative and the whisper market that controls access. A recent MILLION Luxury report described how brokers and sellers prioritize privacy and curated buyer engagement for trophy listings, particularly when security, celebrity, or family discretion is central to the sale.
For buyers, the takeaway is simple. If your search includes island enclaves, ocean-to-Intracoastal compounds, or nine-figure aspirations, your best opportunities may not arrive through alerts. They arrive through relationships, proof of funds, and a willingness to move quickly once access is granted.
For sellers, privacy can also function as price protection. Limiting showings can preserve the aura of rarity, reduce operational stress, and keep a listing from becoming “content.”
Where the ultra-luxury buyer is leaning in 2026
Neighborhood identity matters more than ever because each enclave delivers a distinct version of South Florida living.
In Bal Harbour, the buyer profile often prioritizes discretion, walkability, and a clean condominium lifestyle that still feels rare. The global shorthand for that is a building like Oceana Bal Harbour, where the conversation centers on privacy, views, and outdoor space rather than size alone.
In Miami Beach, preferences split. Some buyers want guard-gated islands like La Gorce Island for controlled access and waterfront lots. Others want an oceanfront, design-forward lifestyle with full service and a strong residential feel. This is why projects such as 57 Ocean Miami Beach and Faena House Miami Beach remain part of the broader high-end narrative even when headlines tilt toward single-family estates.
Palm Beach continues to define the legacy end of the market: historic resonance, long-term land value, and a social geography that is difficult to replicate. The presence of a $175 million public listing in the Estate Section reinforces how international the buyer pool has become for true landmark-caliber assets.
Hillsboro Beach and the Hillsboro Mile corridor underscore an enduring truth: some buyers are not choosing between beach and boating. They are buying both, on one thin strip of sand. As more capital competes for fewer irreplaceable waterfront opportunities, narrow geographies like this can behave like private clubs.
A final note on condominiums: the highest-performing vertical residences tend to combine service, privacy, and a residential pace that does not feel like a hotel. For buyers who want Miami Beach energy without sacrificing calm, Setai Residences Miami Beach sits within a category where lifestyle curation is part of the value proposition.
FAQs
Are these the most expensive sales in South Florida? No. These are publicly marketed active listings and asking prices, which may or may not reflect final contract pricing.
Why do gated islands command such a premium? Because security, limited inventory, and neighbor profile can be as valuable as waterfront itself, particularly for global buyers seeking discretion.
Do trophy properties trade off-market in South Florida? Yes. A meaningful share of ultra-luxury inventory is marketed through controlled channels for privacy, and some sales are completed with minimal public exposure.
Is a mega-penthouse a safer choice than an estate? It depends on lifestyle. Penthouses can reduce operational complexity and offer strong “lock-and-leave” appeal, while estates offer land and autonomy that cannot be duplicated vertically.
