Welcome back to the channel, everyone! Today, I’m taking you on a virtual journey to an astonishing $218,000,000 private island located in the heart of Florida. But here's the catch - did the developers truly capture the essence of this island's potential, or did they barely scratch the surface? 🤔
In this video, I give you my unfiltered reaction to the grandeur and opulence that rests upon this island, while also highlighting some missed opportunities that could have elevated this paradise to unprecedented heights. We're exploring every nook and cranny, from the architectural marvels to the natural beauty that encircles this majestic land.
Do you think the 'lipstick on a pig' approach does justice to such a magnificent piece of earth, or like me, do you believe a masterpiece was waiting to be uncovered but got overlooked?
Watch along and let’s dissect, appreciate, and perhaps reimagine the true potential that lies within this $218M private sanctuary. Don’t forget to drop your thoughts in the comments below! 👇

For Reference: the most expensive home ever sold in Florida was for only $173 Million. Last year Larry Ellis bought a 62,200 square-foot home on 16 acres in Manalapan which is just south of South Beach! It has 1,200 feet of ocean frontage and around 1,300 feet on the Intracoastal Waterway, spanning the width of the barrier island on which it is located. The house has a coral stone facade, there is a 7 bedroom guesthouse, two cottages on the beach and a manager’s house that are connected via a series of underground tunnels. There’s also a dock, a sports complex, a pool and a three-hole golf course.

[@ArvinHaddadOfficial]

thanks for always adding value in the comments

[@sflspotter6638]

Well not sure where you live. But it appears you don’t live in south Florida. As Manalapan isn’t just south of South Beach it’s actually in Palm Beach. And Larry Eliison’s house is located south of house on video. It sits on 15.6460 acres has 5 structures sitting on it. Just an FYI.

[@texasranger24]

12200 Banyan Rd, quite a bit more than this island

[@LickVIP]

@@ArvinHaddadOfficialthis sold for $152,000,000 million. Purchased for $88,000,000 but once was listed for $218,000,000

[@simonepagnotta5112]

Hello. You often talk about how corridors are wasted space. How else would you connect several bedrooms within the sleeping wing? I’m not hating, just honestly curious.

[@CWGriswald1492]

Such a wasted opportunity to build the ultimate home

[@zero1fifty8]

Why is this dude walking like he's a GTA game character😂

[@Nocturnal2010]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 they edited out all the corners he got stuck on

[@tinderbox218]

A location like this just make me think of hurricane tidal surges. And inside, too much marble makes me start thinking of mausoleums.

[@Wonka7777]

I picked somebody up in there!! All I could think about was how it would fare in a hurricane

[@elliekay6005]

How is there only 260 views on this video and just over 5k subs? I love love love your work and am glad that we get more than 5 minutes per video with you now! I'm a dreamer from Vancouver Island with a guilty pleasure for luxury real estate. You've opened my eyes up to things I wouldn't normally see on houses I more often than not have already looked at online. Great insight and I hope this channel blows up the way it deserves! x

[@ArvinHaddadOfficial]

thank you so much I really appreciate the support it makes my day

[@dimplesd8931]

Im trying to imagine the mosquito situation in the summer. Is there an outdoor space that is screened? Maybe the security keeps the mosquitos out too.

[@tonymontez2358]

This place looks like it’s one hurricane Katrina away from being under water or the house being damaged sitting out on a island like that

[@jamielancaster01]

Love the video. Keep them coming!

[@ArvinHaddadOfficial]

thanks pal

[@RyanTravis23]

Good review. 100% agree with you. So much could have been done with this property!

[@ArvinHaddadOfficial]

They butched it

[@Ronin12530]

@@ArvinHaddadOfficial I was with you, no theater, no elevators, just long hallways… What’s property taxes there? Plus hedges would help with the winds.

[@danielquevedo5064]

That main bathroom marble makes me feel like i'm in a monochromatic nightmare.

[@Dred.Pirate.Roberts]

Zillow reports the house sold for $152 million on 5-24-2024. Price was lowered to $187 million in March.

[@EdanSolViamar]

Great channel. Amazing content. Keep it going. It will blow up soon

[@VinchenzoC]

Thank you for being honest. Great videos.

[@ArvinHaddadOfficial]

Glad you like them!

[@lath938]

I disagree that modern homes age fast. Many of Frank Lloyd Wright's and John Lautner's homes are still in high demand, and both of them are credited for inventing mid-century modern.

[@Meowhsss]

One of the pools needs a hot tub

[@SylvainOfGandahar]

Love your channel - it shows why properties don't sell or why others are sold out even before hitting the public market.

[@B4P787]

Good review i always like how honest you are there were some big mistakes in this home but other then that lot is crazy i think the interior leaves alot to imagination not very great but there was still alot what you can do with this home

[@Flashstrike4]

The funny thing about this lot you can probably fit 6+ tennis quarts but they couldn’t find room for a full size pool table 😂

[@yasserdjabri1440]

When you dropped with the 6 for finishes i was satisfied but 2 for the layout? Com on you went extra prickly.

[@itzante2148]

No that layout is horrible.

[@karlhudson7491]

Fire that architect!

[@annonymously331]

Strange that Todd Michael Glaser would make so many mistakes, he’s sold a lot of high end in palm beach. I think he’s really leaning in the strength of the market in palm beach right now

[@ArvinHaddadOfficial]

This is not his best work, it should have been

[@karlhudson7491]

10:35 in, is GOLD!! I’m still in tears laughing. My goodness. The truth is hilarious. And this is the add on. You had a blank canvas. Who was the architect on this. They need to go back to school.

[@jorgecgonzalez9976]

Clay courts in America are not "Red Clay but a grayish color. So yes, that may very well be a clay tennis court.

[@menaseven9093]

Nice review of the $200 million Palm Beach Island house. It is a dissapointment that a superyacht cant park on the harbor of the yacht,

[@glennmcgee1729]

For that kind of money this property is too vanilla and uninspiring.

[@user-hv2ck9mu2f]

Please review 2650 Benedict Canyon Road Beverly Hills, CA

[@rf5210]

I never liked this place either. Great video mate.

[@quantum_beeb]

How long until it’s underwater

[@1389Chopin]

Review my house!! Inhave all those things you talked about in a 3000 sq ft home though we do have 1 large entry hallway - i know how you feel about hallways. However compared to other floor it made the difference

[@top6ear]

Mar-A-Lago is just down the street and according to the New York judge it's only worth 18 million

[@Atrasado2]

Better put down the house and build a new one

[@kenth151]

How much are the property taxes.

[@atedejong5620]

It was sold recently on May 17 2024 for the amount of USD 152 million, so yeah way below the USD 218 million price. They bought it in 2021 for USD 85 million, let say they max spend USD 30 million on completely redo the island in the current state. Still a good profit of USD 30+m.

[@Cross-xm2fr]

One big hurricane...

[@richardpackarson6051]

Whoever wanted throw up marble on that bathroom should have their brain checked.

[@cthymnn2010]

Looks like white Carrera Marble which is actually cheap. Better to have quartz or granite.

[@ccrp4788]

you get nice views of Former Eps's Mansion

[@fegari]

cool videos,! but what is this obsession in teh US to have "wine rooms" for people that rarely open a wine bottle?

[@daniel_sc1024]

White, white, white....EVERYTHING is white. Very dull, IMHO.

[@abitearoundtheworld6125]

I really like this house ....lol

[@guitar911rock]

it's under contract at the $187 million asking!

[@guitar911rock]

SOLD FOR 152M

[@goodson77784]

My family would call that house a ripper.

[@Nocturnal2010]

At that level I would never buy someone else's home, I would focus on the location and build what I want. Why buy someone else's dream when you can easily afford to build your own. Resale wouldn't be a thought because I would only ever add to gerational wealth.

[@doubleclutchonline5811]

If I had to live in Florida, this would be perfect. That way I could shut myself off from the people of Florida.

[@mugglescakesniffer3943]

Recheck the pronunciation of Tarpon please and thankyou.

[@kingrabbit101]

Why dont review any of his videos? He has tons of videos on ny real estate. Id like to see some reviewed

[@robposterli2209]

And how much would this estate be worth under the water, as rising sea levels and possible tsunamis, living on the ocean may become dangerous. But who knows how much time Florida has left above water. Your videos are great, thanks 🙏🏼

[@jameshobbs6092]

The wealthiest people in the world are paying astronomical prices for waterfront property around the globe. Maybe they know something you don’t?!

[@Finn-FrenchGaming]

Please pause the video you're watching when making a comment, hearing two voices makes it blurry.

[@matthewhayes3142]

ahh, this is the palm beach property you referred to! i can't even begin to point out the flaws with this property, especially considering less than 5K people around the world can qualify to purchase this, or purchase outright. the flaws are too numerous to point out. it's already been reduced. a billionaire's first priority is security and this doesn't have it. and such a thing as too big. primary suite, outdoor terrace, seating for 12, but when would an owner have 12 people to their private sleeping space, other than an orgy. and the entry, right into an open floor plan, for 218M, where's the foyer? a few bright moments are far outpaced by the major flaws rendering this a huge loss for the developer.

[@skjoiner1234]

Why so many bathrooms?!?! Please explain.

[@lemonmane69]

If i had that kind of money i'd want some super cool mansion on a mountain, not around a ton of tourists. I would also not want five living rooms or something like that, just a cool gaming room and a workshop.

[@bencampbell5476]

lol. "Reimagined" = flipped for profit gouge by someones else's vision the buyer is stuck with. smh

[@ArvinHaddadOfficial]

They butchered if you ask me

[@bencampbell5476]

Yes, they did. @@ArvinHaddadOfficial Something else they missed is a foot bridge over the backside pool to the dock area. That's a lot of walking around the pool area back and forth that would get annoying and would be difficult for older people to navigate in and out of the boat. They didn't pay attention to the scale very well, which to your point is evident in the kitchen.

[@benhartart9487]

Bet ya Epstein would live here if he was breathing 😂

[@mikt]

Question: Why do those Mansions usually have way more Bathrooms than bedrooms? What is the reason behind it - is it a hers / hims thing? And the marble with wet feet coming out of the shower - ah - i guess you better have a ER in one of the wings.

[@machinegun_]

private ensuite bathrooms for each bedroom are very important for luxury living every bedroom should have a private dedicated bathroom and then extras in common areas for guests so they don’t go in a bedroom to use the bathroom bathrooms attached to pool area is also important to not track water through the house after a swim

[@erique_k]

You can acid wash marble to add traction. You can also specify for ridges to be cut.

[@kendahl7922]

You can sleep better as Aussie/NYC hedge fund guy paid $150M Now you only need pay for sharks to protect the properly as Total access by water for theft

[@howieroarke]

The original house has historic designation and could not be torn down. Maybe do a little homework? The new addition also had to be reviewed and approved to be compatible with the existing structure.

[@280SE]

Why are these interiors so unimaginative. That furniture 🤮

[@jamielancaster01]

He grew a porn star mustache🫤

[@ArvinHaddadOfficial]

🤣

[@Adam-ie9fe]

So, I mean one thing Arvin doesn't talk about a lot (although recently has been doing more), is how climate change affects these properties. For example, this whole island will be totally submerged in water in 10ish years. For that reason, it's a really really really bad investment. no matter if you want to argue the point of climate change itself... insurance companies absolutely believe in climate change. Therefore, in addition to the whole thing being flooded, you won't be able to get insurance to replace or be reimbursed for it WHEN it is destroyed. Arvin, this should really be a score point in every video because it talks about if the property is a safe investment.

[@mugglescakesniffer3943]

Hurricane.

[@joraw1]

Too much white .. outside walls and inside 😊

[@bar10ml44]

It’s too exposed. Bathroom and kitchen are horrible. No lift.

[@jameshobbs6092]

RIGHT!

[@MeesterJ]

Privacy should be a 2. The only thing that helps privacy is the bridge. The whole f'ing island is open from the water and also from views of every neighbour. Terrible terrible

[@michaeljennings3207]

For that kind of money I would rather live in Bermuda way overpriced

[@XX-iy5wy]

hmm 11:54 i dont like it

[@gabrielcarvalho6085]

In all your videos you aways complain about the hallways, but how the hell do you fit a lot of big bedrooms and spaces into a house, without hallways? Build up? Stairs are the worst! It is a waste of square footage, but you know... it is necessary

[@bowzerthedog1130]

So Irritating when you keep walk talking over him

[@joaorodrigues-dy9rm]

How is it private, its surrounded by houses, its a few feet from shore, and its in everyones sight, NOT PRIVATE!. The house looks like origami made with wood and paper, not 218 million, that is insane
