hiFly Into Your South Florida Equestrian Paradise Retreat –
Charles Lindbergh would have loved living at this magnificent Mediterranean 11+ acre Estate in Lindbergh 
Landing seated in Miami, Florida.
The signature of success is ascribed to you as you cross the threshold of the double wrought-iron gates of your Lindbergh Landing estate designed by renown architect Ramon Pacheco.
Seated on over eleven acres totally surrounded with the proverbial white fence in a private, gated community, tucked away in the southwest corner of Miami, Florida is a magnificent Mediterranean estate that has a manor home, game house, equestrian center complete with six-horse stable, training center and grassing areas, fifteen-car garage, pools, terraces with a summer kitchen, fountains, playground with playhouse, miniature golf, basketball and tennis courts, three koi ponds with cascading waters, a helipad and an FAA-approved airstrip.
The manor greets you as you cruise up the extended, circular paved driveway. A fountain dons the majestic entrance with its cascading waters allowing you to escape the high-energy city scene to serene, rural tranquility.
The Manor (17,285+ Square Feet – 6 bedrooms/7.5 baths) This 17,285+ square foot residence, designed by architect Pacheco, is a smart home and contains an electrical room that controls the security, pool area, lighting, music and ambiance of the estate. Light beams from every room with the manor’s many traditional and contemporary chandeliers, lamps and wall sconces.
From the moment you enter the double-glass doors with light-filled arch, you are taken in by the breathtaking 
coffered ceilings. Rich in their design, these eighteen-foot tray and coffered ceilings with millwork moldings adorn the estate with details, make a statement, and provide an enchanting sound barrier caused by the reverberation of the marble-inlay flooring. You attempt to take it all in – however, the reception area or grand foyer with its equally majestic chandelier, art niche and graceful marble medallion beckon you further — into the main living areas of the residence. With details at every turn, the wood crown molding and equally notable baseboards, bay windows boasting Silhouette blinds and the wood-burning fireplace, you are called into the light of the living room. This awe-inspiring space touts an entire wall of double-French doors with glass arches showing off the greenery and fountain just beyond, and the impressive mirror over the cherry wood fireplace balancing art niches on either side.
At the heart of any home is the kitchen. With the South Florida sun peeking in through the skylight to brighten the
cheeriest of chefs, he gladly rolls up his sleeves to enjoy the gourmet’s best – double-Viking stainless steel convection ovens, Viking warmer, Viking microwave and a six-burner electric Viking stove. Take out a chilled bottle of Dom Perignon from your Viking wine cooler for a relaxing glass before your guests arrive. The Sub-Zero, double wood-paneled refrigerator blends in with the deep, cherry wood cabinetry with its own crown molding. With a breakfast area and extended island with granite throughout, the party will certainly start in the kitchen as a double paddle fan send the aroma of garlic and onions wafting through the air as pollo asado and all its trimmings is being prepared. The Miele coffee maker will be a great after-dinner plus when we pass out the red velvet cake or tres leches with the Coldstone Creamery vanilla bean ice cream hiding in the nearby butler’s pantry.
You review the place settings in the dining room which dons crown molding, two built-in wood china and glass displays, and two pewter chandeliers as well as a table that easily seats a dozen guests.
The family room has a stone fireplace, wood shutters and plush carpeting, plenty of French doors and windows and 
is super bright with a view of the pool, terrace and gardens.
The library is rich with woodmill work, wood shutters and a double paddle fan and skylight.
The master suite is spacious and exquisite – intended for royal celebrity. With quick access to the pool, patio and terrace area, you venture for that private midnight swim prior to retiring. Bay windows, wood shutters and a skylight adorn the suite as well as double paddle fans to lull you into deep, tropical slumber. The “smart” aspect of the manor continues into this suite with its on/off automatic lighting in all the closets. There exist his-n-her custom design dressing rooms and his-n-her sinks, vanities and private toilets with bidet. A steam shower and Jacuzzi are added bonuses.
With six bedrooms and seven-and-a-half baths, this split plan provides privacy for owner and guest alike. Each bedroom has custom designed closets with on/off automatic lighting, its own private bath and wood blinds embellish the windows.
The manor home is complete with its own entertainment room; a television area, bar with granite counter tops, Viking ice maker for those cool, refreshing Mojitos, and a view of the courtyard, and double paddle fan, you can see yourself watching the game or taking a Sunday-afternoon nap (or both) during the South Florida spring rainfall.
There exists a three-car garage with a loft which is attached to the manor. In addition, a fifteen-car detached garage is on the estate for the collector.
The Game House (Over 3000 Square Feet, Full bath, Theater, Storage) On your 11+ acres sits a “game 
house” waiting for a chance to entertain both young and old alike. With its full bar area, Viking wine cooler, dishwasher, ice maker and refrigerator, there is no need to traipse back to the manor for supplies. There is a storage room for all those snacks and drinks and a bar area with ample seating. With floors of exquisite walnut, this is quite the entertainment spot. A stage for would-be American Idols or Kiddie Karaoke, sixteen arcade games to keep the young quite occupied, two poker tables, a Black Jack table, and slot machine will make you think you are dining first class at a club on the Las Vegas strip.
So, now are you ready for some peace and quiet? Step into the cool, dark fourteen-guest home theater with comfortable leather seating to watch Hepburn or Bullock!
As the evening cools, retreat to your heated pool with Jacuzzi spa. The temperature is remotely controlled from
inside the manor. The pools are easy to maintain with their auto-chlorinator cleaning system. The spacious terrace can accommodate an entire wedding party including guests and would be the perfect place for an unseasonably cool outdoor wedding. The terrace boasts lush, professionally-designed landscaping with five designer statues, outside rock fireplace, summer kitchen with a Pro-Fire Barbecue, and bar with a Viking ice maker. There is a convenience cabana bath and pool storage area with a changing room. A playground waits nearby for the children. Above is an observation deck and sunning area for the most private of tanning!
The Play House. Not only is there a playground, there is an air-conditioned playhouse with beautiful wood ceilings and floors.
The Equestrienne’s Dream. Your guests will never complain about not having enough activities! With a stable that boards six horses, a training ring and grazing fields, this estate is now an equestrienne’s dream – not only for the horses but for the people who love them!
Sports Enthusiasts. Strike up a game of basketball on your private outdoor court, a game of tennis – or perhaps eighteen holes of miniature golf! Keep the entire family in shape after one of those gourmet dinners! There is time to compete in a quick game of B-ball on your own court with the little guys or a quick game of tennis as the sun sets over the preserve marking the end of another fruitful day.
Antique Car Enthusiasts (Over 4000+ Square Feet Detached Garage). For the collector, there exists a fifteen-car, totally electrically equipped, air-conditioned garage, complete with tool room and two over-sized garage doors for easy access.
Ease of Access. With a helipad for quick in-and-out as well as an FAA-approved air strip which can land a King-Air airplane, your travel from your private retreat into the city or other metropolitan areas is a snap. A mini-golf cart path surrounds the property for ease in traveling from the manor home to the ancillary structures.
Words and photos cannot truly express the magnificence of this estate. You must experience it for yourself.
