Hey Jeff, can you spare a cup of sugar?
One of the most expensive pieces of real estate now on the market in the United States is a plot of land on the exclusive Indian Creek Island off the coast of Miami — and a potential owner with deep pockets can call Jeff Bezos their neighbor.
The thing is, that buyer will have to be as rich as Bezos.
The small, undeveloped parcel of coastal land – just 1.84 hectares – is on the market for a staggering $200 million. It’s a very high price, but it’s not the most expensive for sale right now in America. That title goes to a sprawling waterfront complex across the state in affluent Naples, which was listed in early 2024 for a breathtaking $295 million.
Whoever buys the lot, at 9 Indian Creek Island Road, can build their dream home next door to the Amazon billionaire. Bezos currently paid $237 million for three island properties at 11, 12 and 28 Indian Creek Island Road.
The ritzy island, known as one of the original “billionaires’ bunkers,” boasts just 41 homes, plus Indian Creek Country Club, with an 18-hole golf course, on 300 acres.
The listed lot comes with 200 feet of Biscayne Bay and views of downtown Miami. That means there’s enough space to build a deep-water dock for a 180-foot megayacht, listing broker Ilya Reznik, of the Reznik Group, told Gimme Shelter.
There is so much wealth on the island that security is tight – it is privately guarded with limited access, and by its own police force and a naval patrol.
“It’s a perfect place to build your dream home,” Reznik said.
Reznik added that the sellers bought the land for $27.5 million in 2018.
“They were planning to build, but then the plans changed and they decided to sell,” Reznik said, adding that the sellers are “private people” who are unwilling to reveal their identities.
“It’s more interesting to know that the land is near Bezos than who the seller is,” Reznik said.
A “conceptual design-build plan” for a 25,000-square-foot property by builder Manny Angelo Varas of MV Group USA is also available, the listing notes.
Other owners of homes on the island include Tom Brady, Carl Icahn and Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump.
