Miami Gables Estates

If you are searching for the absolute acme of exclusivity in Miami-Dade County, then you need look no further than Miami Gables Estates.  This enclave of 170 estate homes located east of Old Cutler Road on Biscayne Bay is the epitome of luxury and one of the most difficult subdivisions to buy into in Miami-Dade County.  To call residents of Miami Gables Estates affluent is an understatement for this truly is an exclusive neighborhood for those who are willing to sacrifice some privacy for security and tranquility.  In order to buy a home in Miami Gables Estates a potential buyer must be sponsored by at least two residents, not including the seller or anyone involved with the sale of a home.  Aside from sponsorship, potential residents need to undergo thorough background checks, provide business references and bank statements, write a non-refundable check for $18,000 to apply for membership in the homeowners association and abide by the rule that all homes in Miami Gables Estates must be at least 3,000 square feet in size.  Miami Gables Estates combines prestige, privacy and security for an unrivalled quality of life for today’s wealthy elite.

Unlike other real estate markets as of late, home values in Miami Gables Estates are on the rise.  This will ensure that home ownership in this is limited to an even more select group of moneyed buyers.  If you would like more information about luxury and estate homes for sale in Miami Gables, please contact me, Nancy Batchelor.
