A Miami-Area Mansion With a Swarovski Chandelier for Every Room—Including the Walk-in Closet—Lists for $47 Million
The Mediterranean-style waterfront home spans over 12,000 square feet in the gated Gables Estates community

A waterfront mansion in Coral Gables, Florida, with a Swarovski chandelier in almost every room is up for sale asking $47 million.
The Miami Mediterranean-style home spans over 12,000 square feet on Arvida Parkway in the gated Gables Estates community. It was built in 2004, but the home’s red-gabled roof, arched windows, and columned exterior recall the grand Coral Gables estates of the 1920s.
The home, located on a 0.8-acre parcel with 225 feet of water frontage, includes seven bedrooms, an oceanfront pool, a dock and a wine cellar that can hold 2,700 bottles. In the rear of the home, every room has French doors that open to bay-facing loggia with views of Key Biscayne in the distance.
“The beauty of this property is where it sits,” said listing agent Maria Marin-Sanchez, who relisted the house alongside Gabriela Dejar of One Sotheby’s International Realty last week. “You can see the bay from almost every room in the house except the wine cellar and one bedroom that faces the front.”
The home was initially listed in March at the same price with a different brokerage and was removed from the market in May.
Interior features include marble flooring, an updated kitchen, unique tray ceilings in every room and Swarovski-encrusted chandeliers, many of which are included in the sale. There are chandeliers in the foyer, the sitting room, both dining rooms, at least one of the bedrooms, two in the kitchen, plus a few unlikely places, such as the primary walk-in closet and wine cellar.
Become Legendary
In addition to the yard, a covered outdoor space spans over 2,000 square feet and includes a grill and multiple lounge areas.
Gables Estates, a gated community of 192 waterfront homes on a series of canals, is the most exclusive community in one of the wealthiest neighbourhoods in the country. The typical home in Gables Estates sells for more than $20 million, making it the most expensive enclave in the country, according to a Bloomberg analysis of Zillow data.
The sellers purchased the home, located on a peninsular cul-de-sac, in 2012 for $10.215 million. A neighbouring home is currently on the market for $57 million, while billionaire Mike Fernandez, CEO of MBF Healthcare has amassed an 8-acre spread at the end of the peninsula for more than $36 million.
The couple are looking to sell because it’s a large house for two people, Marin-Sanchez said.

A McDonald’s restaurant in Yass has been brought to market with one of the last remaining pure turnover leases in Australia, offering investors a direct share of revenue rather than a traditional fixed rental return.
The asset, located at 1713 Yass Valley Way, is being marketed by JLL via an expressions of interest campaign closing on 30 April. It is underpinned by a legacy lease structure no longer offered by McDonald’s in Australia.
Under the arrangement, the landlord receives 6.5 cents for every dollar spent at the restaurant, creating uncapped income growth linked directly to sales performance.
The lease is structured as triple net, meaning no operational risk, capital expenditure obligations or management responsibilities for the owner.
According to JLL, the property has recorded compounded annual sales growth of 4.26 per cent since 2003, with rental income rising by 150 per cent over the same period.
JLL’s David Mahood said the structure allows investors to “participate directly in the sales growth” of the business, rather than relying on fixed annual rent reviews.
The newly commenced lease runs to 2036, with four additional 10-year options extending to 2076, providing a weighted average lease expiry of 9.92 years by income.
The asset sits on a 3,571 square metre freehold site in Yass, with significant frontage to the Hume Highway, one of Australia’s busiest freight corridors.
The location benefits from high volumes of passing traffic, including an estimated 75,000 vehicles per day.
The quick service restaurant sector has remained resilient through economic cycles, including the pandemic and recent cost-of-living pressures, with McDonald’s continuing to expand its footprint and invest in store upgrades across Australia.
JLL pointed to strong investor demand for McDonald’s-backed assets, with recent transactions typically yielding between the high 2 per cent to mid 3 per cent range.
The Yass listing is expected to attract interest due to the scarcity of turnover-based leases, which provide a natural hedge against inflation by linking income growth to consumer spending rather than predetermined increases.
McDonald’s Yass is available for sale via an Expressions of Interest campaign closing at 3:00pm (AEST) on Thursday, April 30.
