While Miami‘s Star and Indian Creek islands are known for their headline-making residents, Grove Isle has historically attracted a quieter roster of business leaders, philanthropists, diplomats, and other influential figures who tend to prize privacy over publicity. Connected to Coconut Grove by a short, controlled-access bridge, the 20-acre island has earned a reputation as one of the city’s most discreet waterfront enclaves. 

Originally formed from land reclaimed from Biscayne Bay during Florida’s land boom of the 1920s, Grove Isle was transformed into a private residential community in the late 1970s. For decades, its built landscape remained largely unchanged until the completion of Vita at Grove Isle in 2025. The sleek, seven-story condominium follows the curve of the shoreline and represents the island’s first major new development in more than 40 years.

One of the building’s duplex penthouses, with roughly 13,000 square feet of combined indoor and outdoor space, is now available as a turnkey residence through Nelson Gonzalez at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices EWM Realty at $23.5 million. With interiors by Artefacto, the fully furnished residence spans about 7,000 square feet with 11-foot ceilings and a 2,000-square-foot great room with walls of glass that slide open to a 13-foot deep and 97-foot-long waterside terrace. Sophisticated technologies include a comprehensive Crestron smart home system and Lutron HomeWorks lighting.

The chef-caliber Molteni kitchen delivers a masterclass in luxe minimalism, pairing hardware-free lacquered wood cabinetry and integrated appliances with dramatic chocolate-brown marble surfaces. The richly veined stone waterfalls over the center island add warmth and visual depth to the clean-lined composition.

All four bedrooms have walk-in closets, private baths, and direct access to outdoor space. Two guest bedrooms share a street-side terrace, while a junior primary suite enjoys its own outdoor space. The 600-square-foot primary suite is the most impressive of the four, with two walk-in closets, a wood-paneled bath, and a 450-square-foot bedroom that opens onto the bayfront terrace.

A spiral staircase winds up from the great room to an entertainment lounge, where a wall of glass slides open to a 97-foot-long bi-level roof terrace complete with built-in bench seating and a summer kitchen. The pièce de résistance, however, is a 40-foot-long private pool overlooking Biscayne Bay and the Miami skyline.
