Selling Their Parents ‘American Dream,’ Sisters List a 20-Acre Family Compound Outside Miami
The large inland estate, which includes main and secondary houses and 4,000 lychee trees, served as a beloved multigenerational property
A 20-acre compound with three residences and 4,000 fruiting lychee trees has come to market, offering a rare opportunity to own a sprawling piece of land on the outskirts of Miami.
The property is being sold by Rosie Thuemler and Maggie Bastanzuri, sisters whose parents purchased the land—comprising four 5-acre parcels—in 2000 for about $120,000 per parcel, according to Bastanzuri, 58, who is retired. The compound, which includes a main house, secondary house and guest house built by the family in 2005, was listed for $11.5 million in late February by Cristina Soler of One Sotheby’s International Realty.
In its heyday under the family’s ownership, the property was multigenerational with Bastanzuri’s family of four and her parents in the 13,300-square-foot, seven-bedroom main house and Thuemler’s family of three in the 9,000-square-foot, five-bedroom secondary house. Now that the sisters’ parents have passed, they’re looking to downsize.
