In the shimmering expanse of Miami’s coastline, where opulence often means sprawling high-rises and sky-high price tags, the greater Surfside area is quietly redefining the luxury landscape. The core of this transformation lies in Ocean House. A small scale oceanfront housing complex comprising 25 units that dares to defy the prevailing notion of “bigger is better ” which currently reigns over Miami’s real estate landscape. Here, exclusivity, design, and tranquillity take centre stage, making it a standout in a region teeming with ultra-luxury options.
Surfside: A billionaire’s playground with a small-town soul
Nestled between Miami Beach and Bal Harbour, Surfside is a sanctuary of understated luxury. The world’s elite have gravitated to Surfside because of its quaint, pedestrian-friendly streets and sense of community. Dubbed a “billionaire’s playground,” it counts Jeff Bezos, Tom Brady, and Ivanka Trump among its nearby residents. But what sets Surfside apart from Miami’s high-energy neighbourhoods is its tranquil, small-town allure – a place where bespoke living meets unspoiled natural beauty.
This balance between serenity and access to the finest amenities has made Surfside and its surrounding enclaves – Bay Harbour Islands, Bal Harbour, and Indian Creek – coveted addresses. The region is not just attracting billionaires, it’s also reshaping their lifestyles.
Ocean House: Where innovation meets intimacy
Ocean House symbolises the core of Surfside’s evolution. In an era where luxury often means towering glass buildings packed with hundreds of units; Ocean House takes a refreshingly different approach. Its exclusive collection of just 25 residences is tailored for those seeking privacy and the restorative serenity of oceanfront living.
Starting at $5 million, these residences offer an unprecedented opportunity to own a slice of coastal paradise in Surfside at a relatively accessible price point. Ocean House’s appeal extends beyond its cost as it embodies a tribute to considered design and balanced living.
Architectural elegance with a nautical theme
Designed by Arquitectonica with interiors by Carla Guilhem Design, Ocean House draws inspiration from the ocean itself. Panoramic views of the Atlantic and Miami’s skyline are beautifully showcased with floor-to-ceiling windows while seamlessly blending outdoor living spaces together. The serene colour scheme reminiscent of the beach alongside the natural stone floors and elegant wood accents inspired by yachts create an atmosphere of charm that offers residents a tranquil and sophisticated escape.
Each residence boasts expansive layouts, with grand living rooms, open kitchens, and sprawling terraces. Bathrooms are adorned with spa-like features – freestanding tubs, rainfall showers, and European cabinetry – while kitchens feature custom European designs, Gaggenau appliances, and waterfall-edge Silestone islands.
A wellness oasis
In a world increasingly drawn to the concept of wellness, Ocean House sets a new standard. The property’s spa features steam rooms and saunas along with treatment rooms to offer an escape for guests looking to relax and unwind. An inviting vitality pool, with a view of the ocean allows visitors to enjoy hydrotherapy treatments while the rooftop pool deck offers vistas and a serene getaway basking in the sunlight.
Fitness enthusiasts will appreciate the state-of-the-art wellness centre with private training rooms, while the beautifully landscaped outdoor spaces – complete with reflecting ponds, cabanas, and meditation gardens – encourage moments of mindfulness.
A perfect blend of location and lifestyle
Surfside’s charm extends far beyond its pristine beaches. The location serves as an entrance, to top notch shopping, at the Bal Harbour Shops – an enclave of high end brands situated in an open air environment. Dining options range from Michelin-starred restaurants to hidden gems offering culinary experiences as diverse as Miami itself.
Surfside attracts individuals, with its proximity to vibrant areas like the Miami Design District, Wynwood Arts District and Brickell, for a variety of entertainment options while still maintaining a peaceful and community oriented atmosphere that appeals to discerning buyers.
Scarcity meets sophistication
What makes Ocean House even more extraordinary is its rarity. With strict development regulations and limited coastline, new projects in Surfside are rare jewels. This scarcity, coupled with the area’s increasing desirability, positions Ocean House as a prime investment – not just in real estate, but in a lifestyle of unparalleled quality.
Redefining coastal luxury
Ocean House is more than just a building; it’s a statement. It represents a perspective on Miami’s real estate scene by prioritising substance, over size and grandeur typical of the area’s luxury market It provides a cosy and well-designed living space that allows residents to appreciate their environment while still enjoying privacy and tranquillity.
Surfside is transforming into an epicentre for high-end living. Ocean House shines as a prime example of what happens when creativity and sophistication meet exclusivity. For those seeking for a place that goes beyond the norm – Ocean House provides more than a home, it offers an oasis, where luxury meets purpose in harmony.
In Surfside, the future of coastal luxury isn’t about towering heights or sprawling complexes – it’s about creating spaces that resonate with the soul. Ocean House, with its emphasis on serenity and design, exemplifies this new era. Here, amid the billionaires and breath-taking views, a new standard of living is taking shape, and it’s nothing short of extraordinary.
