Movie Producer’s Islamorada Mansion Comes to Market
Iconic movie producer, and active member of Upper Keys society, Jon Landau and his wife Julie have listed their stunning Islamorada mansion for sale. Known for producing movies like Avatar and Titanic, the Landau’s are no strangers to the Keys. They have given much to the community that they love in the way of establishing multiple funds and charities to help the local community. It seems that now is the time for them to sell their stunning estate, as the property known as “Bali Hai” has hit the market with a listing price of $13.9 million.
Bali Hai is located at 89301 Old State Rd, on the ocean side of Plantation Key in Islamorada. The immense property is more than 6,000 square feet and sits on nearly four acres of oceanfront property, with nearly 200 feet of beach frontage. The six bedroom home has been thoughtfully designed to evoke a feeling of having been transported to Bali, from the exposed Brazilian mahogany wood work found throughout the property to the pitched roof design typical of Indonesian architecture. Every detail has been thought of to seamlessly integrate indoor/outdoor living and to highlight the natural environmental beauty, using natural materials like wood imported from Brazil, green riverbed stone brought in right from Bali, and fantastic use of running water throughout the property. Completing the picture is the incredible work that has gone into cultivating lush vegetation that has been intricately crafted to include rare and exotic plant species that truly bring the idea of living in Bali to life.
Architecturally, Bali Hai is like no other property in the Florida Keys. Designed in a unique Balinese style, the main level of the home was built in seven pods, each connected via stunning outdoor porch walkways. The distinct style has made it of interest to many in the architecture and design worlds, and the home has been featured in several publications including Architectural Digest, Coastal Living, and the Wall Street Journal.
On top of the fantastic luxury features one would expect to see in a home of this caliber - like upgraded chef’s kitchen, top of the line fixtures and state of the art security system - Bali Hai is home to incredible features that make it a one of a kind home. The home features a 7,000 gallon saltwater pond stocked with stunning tropical fish. Wine connoisseurs will enjoy a temperature-controlled wine cellar that can accommodate more than 1,000 bottles of wine. The grounds come complete with a private lighted tennis court, infinity-edge swimming pool, private beach, and more. The oceanfront property comes with two separate deep water docks and a 27,000 pound boat lift, ensuring that the property can accommodate large vessels.
There is nothing that has not been thought of at Bali Hai, and for $13.9 million this absolutely one of a kind estate can be yours!
