The story
An investment worth telling
Sunset Acre Estates is one of the few pockets of Coral Gables where a home still sits on close to a full acre. This five-bedroom estate delivered exactly that — 37,897 square feet of land on a quiet cul-de-sac, wrapped around a pool-centered layout with a Zen garden, koi pond, and meditation terrace.
Inside: an open plan, walls of glass, a modern island kitchen in quartz and stainless, and a primary suite that opens straight to the pool patio.
It closed at $2.25M in 2020, below ask, to a buyer who understood that in the Gables, land is the asset that compounds.
Standout feature
The lot. Nearly an acre in South Coral Gables is a scarcity play — and the resort-grade outdoor program (Zen garden, koi pond, covered grill terrace) turned that land into a private retreat, not just square footage.
