KEY LARGO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pumpkin Key, a private island in the Florida Keys — part of the exclusive Ocean Reef community and less than an hour from Miami — was today placed on the market for $110 million, announced Russell Post, CEO of Russell Post Sotheby’s International Realty, Ocean Reef’s leading residential real estate firm.
Pumpkin Key offers a unique mix of seclusion, splendor and convenience. It is part of one of the nation’s most prestigious club communities, Ocean Reef — members of which include a roster of “who’s who of American business” and favored for its fairways, mega yacht marinas and lighted 4,456-foot airport runway capable of accommodating large and mid-size business jets.
The 26-acre haven, dotted with palms and bougainvillea and lined with winding golf cart paths, is a literal “club within a club.” The island serves as an ideal family compound or could be developed to include 12 bay front homes owned by several families. All building rights are in place and each lot has water, electric, and telephone extended from shore. Valued by those seeking privacy and security, access to all the amenities of Ocean Reef, and who also appreciate the convenience of being able to make a 10-minute helicopter jaunt to Miami's bustling South Beach.
The main home is orientated due west facing the sunset and features a spectacular one-story estate with swimming pool. The Island includes two caretaker's cottages, a boat captain’s apartment, private office, and 12 one and one-half-acre bay front lots. Complete with its own 20-slip marina and able to accommodate a mega-yacht, the island’s amenities additionally include a beach area and tennis courts that double as a helipad. A single-family residence and garage with dockage and water access is included on shore within the Ocean Reef community.
“Pumpkin Key represents one of the most exceptional opportunities in real estate today, anywhere in the world,” said Russell Post, Founder and President of Russell Post Sotheby’s International Realty. “From creating a family compound or a private ‘club-within-a-club’ within Ocean Reef, the possibilities are endless. Pumpkin Key offers the unique opportunity for privacy, while still being part of the Ocean Reef community, and just a quick ten minute helicopter ride or fifty minute boat trip to Miami.”
Buyers of Pumpkin Key will enjoy the best of a private club community and private island living. Nestled among 2,500 secluded, tropical acres on the northernmost tip of Key Largo in the Florida Keys, Ocean Reef is located within an hour from Miami International Airport. Amenities include an oceanfront Inn; full-service spa and salon; array of dining and shopping options; a world-class 175-slip marina; access to Ocean and flats fishing; two championship golf courses; tennis and lawn sports; an art league; and a cultural center. The Club is also equipped with a fully staffed Medical Center, gourmet grocery store, veterinary care and The Academy, an independent K-8th grade school.
