This Coral Gables estate has a third-level observatory with elevated views overlooking a protected nature preserve.

On 38,333 SF in Banyan Lakes, a newly approved gated community, this custom Mediterranean by Hollub and architect David Johnson puts privacy against a protected nature preserve. Outside is built for living: a heated resort-style pool with swim-out and raised spa, a covered outdoor kitchen and dining under a wood ceiling, and balcony lookouts across the palms. Inside, a great room opens to a chef’s kitchen with Wolf, Bosch, and Sub-Zero, anchored by impact-rated CGI windows. The primary suite brings green views and a spa bath with soaking tub and double vanities, plus there’s a private office/library and discreet staff quarters. Entertaining touches include a glass wine display and multiple indoor-outdoor zones. Up top, a third-level observatory delivers elevated views; down the hall, a purpose-built media/music studio and a full home gym round out the program. Architectural pedigree, quality, and seclusion in one of Coral Gables’ most exclusive emerging communities.
