Landmark Oceanfront Sale in Golden Beach for $32.5 Million

A landmark oceanfront estate in Golden Beach has traded for $32.5 million, marking one of the most notable recent sales in the ultra-exclusive enclave. The seller was represented by Lydia Eskenazi and Jonathan Bigelman of BE Luxury Group at ONE Sotheby’s International Realty, while the buyer was represented by Dina Goldentayer of Douglas Elliman. Set along one of South Florida’s most coveted stretches of private coastline, the residence spans 11,599 square feet on a 41,750-square-foot lot, offering 150 feet of direct ocean frontage. The Mediterranean Moorish-style estate blends timeless architectural elements with modern design, creating a residence defined by scale, privacy, and uninterrupted ocean views. The home is designed for both indoor-outdoor living, with expansive entertaining areas that open to a private beachfront setting. Outdoor features include an oval-shaped pool, multiple lounging areas, and a poolside cabana complete with a circular bar, catering kitchen, and alfresco dining space. Inside, the property is equipped with a full suite of luxury amenities, including a gym, home theater, and a detached guest house with its own living room and kitchen. Located within Golden Beach, a community known for its 1.8 miles of private beachfront and residential-only zoning, the property benefits from a level of privacy and security that is increasingly rare in South Florida. The town maintains its own police force and offers residents access to a beach club, tennis courts, and a newly introduced fitness and spa facility. Golden Beach has long attracted high-profile homeowners, with past and present residents including Bill Gates, Ricky Martin, and Tommy Hilfiger, further solidifying its reputation as one of the most exclusive oceanfront communities in the country. The sale underscores continued demand for large-scale, beachfront estates in South Florida, particularly within tightly held enclaves where inventory remains limited and opportunities to secure premier ocean frontage are increasingly rare.
