A waterfront estate an hour north of Miami in the US state of Florida has now broken a real-estate record twice.

The sale was closed by Tal Alexander and Oren Alexander of The Alexander Team at Douglas Elliman for US$50 million on February 5. It had previously sold for US$47 million in 2012, at that time the most expensive single-family home ever sold in the Miami area.

The 10-bedroom home at 3 Indian Creek Island Road sits on two acres of land. Ralph Arias with ONE Sotheby’s International Realty represented the buyer, whose identity has not been disclosed.

The house did not break the Miami residential real-estate record at large. That is still held by Ken Griffin’s US$60 million purchase of a two-floor condo in Faena House in 2015.

Here is a look at the glass mansion and its two-acre property.

The record-breaking estate is on Indian Creek Island, about an hour’s drive northeast of Miami.

The house sits on the edge of a golf course on a private, 40-property island that is also home to billionaire businessman and investor Carl Icahn.

It is situated on a lush, two-acre piece of waterfront land.

The 10-bedroom, 14-bathroom home was built in the style of a private resort …

… and is flush with amenities such as a 3D cinema, a recording studio and vertical gardens.

In addition to a 100-foot swimming pool …

… the property also includes a private cabana …

… as well as a spa, six wet bars and a jacuzzi.

The 20,000-square-foot house is largely made of glass, including its waterfront gym.

Last but not least, the house opens up to a private beach area …

… which has pink sand that has been imported from the Bahamas.
