Tour a $18.9M Coconut Grove Bayfront Castle Estate

Gothic Revival waterfront castle on Biscayne Bay: step inside one of Miami’s most singular estates, a 12,863‑square‑foot Coconut Grove masterpiece with a 30‑foot vaulted Great Hall, keystone‑edged infinity pool, direct bay dock, and rooftop sundeck with life‑size chess board. From its pale pink stucco façade draped in ivy to its Fernando Wong‑designed grounds, 1840 S Bayshore Lane is less a house and more a living work of art for buyers who refuse anything ordinary. Designed by Miami architect Ralph Portuondo, the home announces its identity the moment you arrive. Custom metalwork fencing by Belt Designs, a carved Gothic‑arched stone entry, and towering royal palms set the tone for the obsessive craftsmanship inside. The Great Hall is one of the most dramatic rooms in South Florida: 30‑foot soft‑blue vaulted ceilings soar above spiraling stone columns, antique stained‑glass windows scatter color across Jerusalem stone floors, and French cast bronze chandeliers and Murano glass fixtures wash the space in warm light. Stone fireplaces and wrought‑iron chandeliers anchor living and entertaining spaces that pivot effortlessly between intimate evenings and grand gatherings. The La Cornue chef’s kitchen is a true culinary stage, where Gothic stone window arches frame lush greenery, marble countertops and custom white cabinetry surround a generous island, and a sunlit breakfast nook overlooks the gardens. The primary suite continues the castle‑like romance with arched stone windows, a freestanding soaking tub set on intricately inlaid marble, and glass doors that open directly to ocean views. A dedicated office wrapped in Gothic arched windows and terrace access offers a work‑from‑home experience that feels almost monastic in its calm. Outside, Biscayne Bay becomes your backyard playground. A keystone‑edged infinity pool appears to dissolve into the bay, a private cement dock delivers immediate water access, and the rooftop sundeck—complete with life‑size chess board—captures sweeping views of the bay and Miami skyline. With independent living quarters, private motor court, and a 3,000‑square‑foot unfinished basement ready for a spa, club‑level theater, or wine cellar, this Coconut Grove castle is a once‑in‑a‑generation opportunity. 📍 1840 S.
