The
Story

Some properties are designed to impress. Others feel almost impossible to recreate. At “Breezy Oaks,” a breathtaking 14.38-acre tropical farm estate in Miami, nature, privacy, and artistic craftsmanship come together within one of the most extraordinary hidden retreats currently offered in South Florida. Listed for $17.999 million by Jill Eber of The Jills Zeder Group, the estate offers a rare opportunity to own a private sanctuary unlike anything else on the market today.

Located at 14900 & 15000 SW 200th Street in Miami, the sprawling property sits privately within a rare Florida Pine Preserve, creating an atmosphere that feels worlds away from the city while still remaining conveniently connected to Miami, Homestead, and the Florida Keys. Hidden behind sculptural coral rock pillars and custom copper entrance gates designed by renowned artist Kim Brandell, the estate immediately transports visitors into an immersive tropical environment filled with towering oaks, native pines, waterfalls, freshwater grottos, and winding nature trails.

A Property Defined by Nature and Artistry

At the center of “Breezy Oaks” is a beautifully restored three-bedroom, three-bathroom farmhouse spanning approximately 3,362 square feet, surrounded by mature oak trees and lush tropical landscaping. Yet the true magic of the estate extends far beyond the residence itself. Every corner of the property feels intentionally designed to celebrate South Florida’s natural beauty while preserving a deep sense of tranquility and escape.

The estate’s most iconic features are its three freshwater coral rock grottos, naturally fed by the Floridian aquifer and sculpted by the late Ben Bistrong of Jungle B’s Landscaping, one of South Florida’s most celebrated coral rock artisans. These remarkable grottos represent some of Bistrong’s final and most significant creations, blending natural coral stone formations, waterfalls, caves, and hidden pathways into immersive outdoor experiences that feel almost cinematic in scale.

The Main Grotto serves as the estate’s breathtaking centerpiece. Towering approximately 23 feet high, the coral rock structure features cascading waterfalls, white sandy lounging areas, hidden caves, winding slides, and multiple jumping points overlooking crystal-clear freshwater pools below. Filled with koi fish and cichlids, the grotto creates a private resort-like atmosphere that feels both playful and serene.

On the far side of the property, the East Grotto offers a quieter, more meditative experience. Framed by natural coral stone and tropical landscaping, the freshwater swimming grotto includes a white sandy beach-style lounging area alongside tranquil waterfalls and tilapia-filled waters that enhance the property’s peaceful energy.

Positioned between the two larger grottos, the Hidden Grotto introduces an entirely different experience with its elongated lap-pool-inspired design, multiple waterfalls, and sculpted coral stone entryways. Together, the three grottos transform the estate into a one-of-a-kind tropical sanctuary rarely seen anywhere in the United States.

Outdoor Living Designed for Endless Possibilities

Beyond the grottos, “Breezy Oaks” unfolds into a sprawling landscape designed for both relaxation and large-scale entertaining. Expansive open lawn areas provide ample space for sports, wellness experiences, private events, or tented gatherings, while winding trails through the three-acre rock pine preserve create moments of quiet exploration beneath towering native trees and tropical foliage.

The estate’s thriving grove of mature mango, avocado, and citrus trees further enhances its organic charm, while an on-site bee colony produces natural honey that reflects the property’s self-sustaining character and connection to the surrounding environment. Every detail throughout the grounds contributes to a lifestyle centered around nature, wellness, and privacy.

Adding even more long-term value, buyers also have the opportunity to acquire an additional 29.20 acres of contiguous surrounding land for $6 million, bringing the total potential footprint to an extraordinary 43.58 acres. In a rapidly developing South Florida market where large private landholdings have become increasingly rare, the scale and flexibility of this offering are nearly impossible to duplicate.

A Rare Development and Lifestyle Opportunity

While “Breezy Oaks” already exists as an extraordinary private retreat, the estate also presents significant future potential. The property’s development flexibility and possible commercial rezoning opportunities open the door for a wide range of visionary uses, from a luxury wellness retreat or equestrian estate to a hospitality concept, event destination, or multi-generational compound.

Its location near the Florida Turnpike allows for easy accessibility while maintaining the rare feeling of complete seclusion. Few properties in South Florida offer this balance between privacy, scale, accessibility, and future opportunity.
