South Florida's history of unmatched style and elegance is epitomized by Fisher Island, dating back to the 1930s when it became a private escape for shipping and railroad heir William K. Vanderbilt. He built a namesake mansion on the island that is now the center of the famed Fisher Island Club to which all residents gain membership. Its architecturally stunning Mediterranean design and high quality standards became the inspiration for the Spanish and Italian-infused waterfront condominiums, villas, and penthouses that now dot the paradise’s dazzling white sand seashores. Many of these waterfront developments display limited collection homes, with spacious family-oriented floor plans and specialized customization options. The residences look out onto the private island’s own 9-hole, 35 par championship golf course, French Open and Wimbledon surfaced tennis courts, bike trails, bird watching sanctuary, and mile-long stretch of Bermuda sand beachfront.
