This $50 Million Riverfront Mansion in Florida Comes With a Pool and a Pickleball Court

A waterfront trophy mansion in Florida just came to market for almost $50 million—$49.9 million to be exact—and it’s not in one of the Sunshine State’s more expected locales of Miami or Palm Beach but rather in Fort Lauderdale.

A Bay Area Home Crafted by Cult-Favorite Architect Roger Lee Lists for $1.8 Million

Designed by architect Max Strang and Bomar Builders, the ultra-modern residence at 516 Mola Avenue sits on 1.16 acres with a cantilevered design. The eye-catching abode, facing a wide section of the New River, which snakes its way through the coastal city, was completed in 2020, offering six bedrooms and seven full bathrooms, plus a couple more powder rooms across nearly 10,000 square feet of interior space done up by DKOR , a Miami-based design firm. Tim Elmes of Compass holds the listing.

A pathway of stone slabs leads to the front door, amidst cordyline plants and an abundance of palm trees. The porch-like foyer, set outside the home’s main interior, is where the abundant use of floor-to-ceiling windows found throughout the house first comes into play. European oak wood floors add warmth and character to the main living area’s open-concept layout; a quartet of designer light fixtures hover over the dining area; and a wall of full-height windows affords wide river views over the crystalline swimming pool.

Though the kitchen is typically the heart of any home, here the minimalist-minded chef’s kitchen, which includes a hidden prep pantry, is one of the least exciting areas in the house. Certainly it’s well equipped with a huge island, but its rather dull minimalist design lacks a sense of coziness. The included breakfast area, however, sits against a wall of glass that slides open to a stone terrace that’s just three steps above the pool.

Spacious hallways with landscape views on either side provide an indoor-outdoor feel, and like the living room, the primary suite is trailed by tall windows overlooking the river. It also includes an ensuite bathroom with a soaking tub and dual shower, along with a private den with pretty scenic views. Additional guest bedrooms offer balcony access and vantage points for taking in breezes and views. A home office, theater, wet bar, and a full apartment suite for guests or staff are other key features.

Outdoor entertaining is a breeze thanks to a covered patio with dining and lounge areas. Other creature comforts include a barbecue grill and a long, slender pool that butts right up against the home, and a pickleball court. The property also include a boat lift for storing watercraft.
