Mark Zuckerberg has reportedly added to his growing list of luxury homes with waterfront property in the most in-demand section of one of America’s most exclusive neighborhoods.
the Meta The CEO and his wife, Dr. Priscilla Chan, reportedly bought a recently completed luxury mansion on Indian Creek Island, a 300-acre, man-made island near Miami with just 41 lots and approximately 84 inhabitants, the Wall Street Journal reported. Home prices on the island start at about $60 million, and the market price for a property like Zuckerberg’s is from $150 million to $200 million, Mick Duchon, a Miami Beach-based real estate agent with the Corcoran Group who specializes in high-end waterfront properties, said. luck.
Even an undeveloped property can fetch big bucks on the island—a vacant lot roughly the same size as the one Zuckerberg is reportedly selling. $105 million by 2025.
The property Zuckerberg reportedly bought at 2 Indian Creek Island Road puts him in the most coveted spot on the exclusive island, Duchon said. On the west side of the island, where Zuckerberg’s property is reportedly located, the lots are about 80,000 square feet, compared to about 50,000 square feet on the east side, according to Duchon. In this part, where Amazon Founder and fellow billionaire Jeff Bezos also owns two lots, residents will have better access to the open waters of Biscayne Bay and a wider view with beautiful sunsets, he added.
“That part of the island is considered the most attractive,” said Duchon.
Bezos has been buying properties on Indian Creek Island since he announced in 2023 that he would be leaving Seattle, Wash. for Florida. The Amazon founder first bought a $68 million home that will be just a few doors down from Zuckerberg in 2023. Later that year, he paid another $79 million for a neighboring property with the intention of combining the lots into a compound—a trend that Buchon says is more common among wealthy buyers because of the scarcity of truly expansive waterfront properties. Meanwhile, Bezos lives in a third Mediterranean-style property also on Indian Creek Island, on the east side, which he acquired for $87 million in 2024. Last year, Bezos sold one of his homes in Seattle overlooking Lake Washington for a record $63 million, the Puget Sound Business Journal reported.
Indian Creek Island operates as an independent municipality with its own government and private police patrolling the air, water, and sky. Access to the island is controlled by a gated bridge, making safety and privacy a definite feature. Much of the island’s interior consists of an 18-hole golf course and the Indian Creek Country Club, which has a limited number of members due, in part, to a difficult admissions process and a $500,000 start-up cost.
It’s unclear whether Zuckerberg’s deal is closed. Miami-Dade County is a county property records note the owner as the land trust. One of Zuckerberg’s future neighbors, Irma Braman, the wife of billionaire car dealer Norman Braman, said WSJ Zuckerberg said he plans to move into the property in April.
