FROM THE LISTING

Presenting The Showcase Mansion—a waterfront one-of-one created by a luxury developer for himself and engineered for extraordinary entertaining. Its resort-caliber backyard features a recessed gazebo, swim-up bar beneath a waterfall, full outdoor kitchen and dining area, covered TV lounge, immersive sound with in-ground subwoofers, fire and water features, and sunsets over the Fort Lauderdale skyline. A garage designed for up to 20 cars can double as a private basketball shooting court, fitness studio, or RV/boat storage, while a separate glass-walled showroom displays prized automobiles from the great room. Built with a level of quality rarely seen, this new-construction residence by renowned Woody Friese Architecture spans 5 BD, 7 full + 2 half BA and 12,096 total SF. An LED-lit waterfall, fire feature and floating steps create a dramatic arrival. Inside, book-matched marble, telescoping glass doors, an elevator and advanced whole-home automation unite artistry and innovation. The third-floor game lounge and rooftop deck offer a private box seat to the skyline, Boat Show, Air Show and fireworks. Set on an oversized 15,000-SF lot with 120 feet of no-fixed-bridge dockage minutes from the Atlantic Ocean, in coveted Idlewyld—walk to the beach, Las Olas and downtown.

Rules and limits for this property

We measure the property’s water edge, then take 5 ft off each side — the dock setback that applies here, which is what leaves 110 ft of berth. Width is the other limit: a dock and the boat tied to it may together reach 30% of the way across, so on this 105 ft canal nothing may extend more than 31 ft from your property line. Depth is the one limit we don’t state: no public survey covers these canals at a resolution we can rely on. We’ll measure it at the property for you.

Limits from Fort Lauderdale ULDR 47-19.3 (dock and mooring structures) and Code 8-91(e) (moored vessels).
