About 980 Belle Meade Island Drive
Set on one of Belle Meade Island’s rare double lots, this exceptional waterfront residence offers nearly 20,000 square feet of land, 120 feet of wide-canal frontage, and direct access to Biscayne Bay with no fixed bridges. Located within the exclusive guard-gated Belle Meade Island community, the home has been completely reimagined through an extensive 2025 designer renovation and is offered fully furnished and turnkey. The residence features six generous en-suite bedrooms, six full bathrooms and a powder room, new impact windows and doors, and beautifully curated interiors combining refined European design with the relaxed elegance of Miami waterfront living. Designed equally for private family life and entertaining, the expansive outdoor spaces feel like a private resort, with a swimming pool, cabana, lush tropical gardens, generous terraces and entertaining areas overlooking the water. The oversized 19,800-square-foot lot provides an exceptional sense of privacy and space rarely found in Miami, while 120 feet of waterfront and direct bay access make the property particularly appealing for boating. Ideally positioned near Miami’s leading private schools, including The Cushman School and Miami Country Day School, and within easy reach of Miami Beach, the Design District and Bal Harbour. A beautifully finished, completely move-in-ready waterfront residence offering privacy, security and effortless Miami living.
