Jorge Mas has just entrusted his huge house in the Miami area for $13.9 million, but not to a billionaire, a New York clerk or a technological brother.
The co-owner of Inter Miami sold the five-acre estate, located 11855 SW 60th Avenuehas the village of Pinecrest.
According to a press release, the closure of the space, which will become a park, took place on Wednesday.
“This is the largest private residential estate in all of Pinecrest,” said Joshua Kaufman of the Buchbinder Group at Compass, who represented Pinecrest in the transaction.
The “horticulturally significant” land was originally owned by the Montgomery family, founders of the nearby Fairchild Tropical Botanical Garden, and the original landscaping was done by award-winning Raymond Jungles.
A consultant will now develop a proposal for the passive park, that is, a park that is not intended for any official use, but which could have amenities such as walking and fitness trails, shelter areas and rest benches.
The more than 11,000-square-foot, two-story, five-bedroom home would become an indoor facility of sorts.
Mas, who was replaced by Diana Gutierrez of Mocca Realty, is donating $3.9 million in exchange for naming rights.
The park will be called Aleyda Mas, after his wife.
