A $10.6 million property sold on April 1 on La Gorce Island in Miami Beach has broken a price-per-square-foot record with its sale.
The 3,917-square-foot home located at 6666 Pine Tree Lane includes four bedrooms, five full baths and one half bath. The house is located on a roughly 12,500-square-foot lot. All told, the home sold for about $2,713 per square foot, which is the highest sale ever for a dry home, or a property that it not on the water.
The property was sold by Jill and Danny Hertzberg of the Jills Zeder Group at Coldwell Banker. Jordan Karp of Jordan Karp LLC brought the buyer to the transaction.
The single-story property was built in 2013 and features DuChateau white oak floors and Calacatta Gold countertops and bathrooms. The home also boasts an office/den with a custom-built library and several sets of French doors that open out to verdant landscaping. Outside, the property boasts a coral stone patio, pool and outdoor kitchen with Viking appliances. The home also features a wood-burning fireplace, vintage Italian fixtures and lots of interior natural light.
The Hertzbergs are known for their expertise in closing deals on La Gorce Island, a private, guard-gated island that has become an extremely desirable destination for elite homebuyers. In 2024, The Jills Zeder Group sold a four-parcel property on the island for $122 million in two separate transactions.
“That island has become extremely desirable for everyone because it’s beautiful and pristine, and it’s a little island in the bay,” Jill Hertzberg told Inman.
She said that the sellers of the property demolished the previous home on the lot, and essentially rebuilt the same house, which had a classic style from the ’50s, while bringing it up to modern standards, including expanding closets, building larger bathrooms and raising the ceilings.
“So they took an older, classic, beautiful, one-story, gracious home, and just brought it to today,” Hertzberg said.
Hertzberg said that she couldn’t discuss the seller’s identity, but mentioned that the buyer, developer James Curnin, had recently sold a $60 million property on the island and still was looking to own property there.
“That’s what I see a lot on La Gorce Island and the Sunset Islands and these different islands on Miami Beach, that once people live on them, they love it,” Hertzberg said. “It’s like living in an oasis in the middle of a city. So they don’t often leave it. They go from off-water to water. They go from a big home to a smaller bungalow. They go from a smaller bungalow to a big home. But they love living on these places, so they stay and they just move around.”
