Villa Paradiso bets on $60 million
Elsewhere in Florida, developer Haute & Boss is building an oceanfront estate in Vero Beach designed by Choeff Levy Fischman. If Villa Paradiso makes its $60-million asking price, it’ll be one of the priciest residences in the state. Its completion is slated for 2024.
Haute & Boss principal Victor Hernandez says the property will strike a balance “between its relaxed oceanfront setting and upscale lifestyle experience.” With 150 feet of private beach frontage, the 21,000-square-foot compound will include an eight-bedroom main house, plus a guest house, a stand-alone spa and fitness center, and a security office. Luxury is infused throughout the layout, from the 15-foot waterfall and reflecting ponds in the entrance to the property’s three swimming pools (including a 60-foot infinity pool). Other highlights include a eight-seat screening room, a wine cellar accommodating 1,400 bottles, and an outdoor kitchen with a pizza oven.
Part of Florida’s Treasure Coast, Vero Beach has emerged as an upscale vacation destination. It first caught the eye of NASA astronauts training at Cape Canaveral in the 1960s, and today is known for golf, water sports, fine dining, and nightlife. (Gloria Estefan opened the Costa d’Este Beach Resort there in 2008.)
Still, the enclave is unlikely to turn into a second South Beach. As Hernandez told Robb Report, “the city’s general attitude toward limiting growth will never allow it to become an over-congested metropolis.”
