Late Billionaire Howard Hughes Once Owned This Lush Miami Property Priced at a Whopping $55.5M

This leafy, nature-surrounded tropical oasis is on the market for a gargantuan $55,500,000. After all, what would you expect from land once owned by a billionaire?

Late business magnate Howard Hughes once owned the land where this 8,355-square-foot home sits. The structure itself was not built until the early 2000s, decades after the billionaire’s death. However, the mansion is a part of a private nine-home Coconut Grove enclave of Hughes Cove, named after the prominent figure. It sits among the award-winning White Dove Garden and is just a stone’s throw to Biscayne Bay. The community includes a tennis court and docks.

Those able to drop $55.5 million on the pricey listing will essentially gain their own personal wellness resort. The eight-bedroom, seven-full bath, four-half bath mansion includes plenty of amenities: A workout studio, saltwater swimming pool, yoga pavilion, sauna, cold plunge, pond. Plus, the home boasts a chef’s kitchen and pantry for preparing healthy meals. The primary bedroom includes a spa-like bathroom. Outside, there are terraces, verandas, and patios for lounging and basking in Miami’s glorious year-round weather.

Hughes made his mark in the worlds of aviation, philanthropy, and film. He produced the original 1932 film Scarface (of course, Hughes owned an impressive mansion in Los Angeles). Three years before his death, he was inducted into the National Aviation Hall of Fame.
