Prestige Homes Unveils a $55 Million Modern Waterfront Estate in Fort Lauderdale

Just completed in one of Fort Lauderdale’s most exclusive gated waterfront enclaves, the fully furnished residence introduces a new level of architectural innovation with an 85-foot mosaic pool, eight-car collector garage, rooftop entertainment deck, and 145 feet of deep-water frontage.

South Florida’s luxury market continues to push the boundaries of modern residential design, but few newly completed homes combine architectural ambition, waterfront positioning, and lifestyle amenities on the scale of 513 Middle River Drive.

Now offered for $55 million, the newly completed estate represents one of the latest signature creations by Prestige Homes, the boutique builder known for delivering some of South Florida’s most technically sophisticated custom residences.

Occupying an oversized waterfront homesite within one of Fort Lauderdale’s premier gated communities, the estate encompasses more than 15,000 square feet of living space while offering 145 feet of wide-water frontage, a newly constructed seawall and dock, and a collection of amenities more commonly associated with private luxury resorts than single-family residences.

A New Standard for Contemporary Waterfront Architecture

Completed in 2026, the residence was conceived as more than simply another luxury waterfront home.

Its architectural language emphasizes clean lines, dramatic volumes, expansive glass walls, and seamless transitions between interior and exterior living environments. Every principal room is oriented toward panoramic water views, allowing natural light and the surrounding landscape to become central design elements throughout the home.

“This project was envisioned as a completely original expression of modern waterfront living,” said Dov Victor V. Stark of Charles Rutenberg Realty FTL, who represents the listing. “Rather than following existing trends, Prestige Homes focused on creating a residence that establishes a new benchmark for design, technology, and lifestyle.”

That philosophy is evident from the moment visitors arrive through the estate’s private gates.

Resort Living Begins at Home

The outdoor environment has been designed as a private resort overlooking Fort Lauderdale’s expansive waterways.

At its center is an extraordinary 85-foot custom mosaic swimming pool, where cascading waterfalls, integrated lighting, and generous sun terraces create a dramatic visual centerpiece.

Multiple outdoor gathering areas surround the pool, providing spaces for dining, entertaining, or quiet relaxation throughout the year.

Above it all, a rooftop entertainment deck introduces yet another dimension to the property, offering elevated views across the surrounding waterways while expanding the home’s already impressive collection of social spaces.

Combined with approximately 145 feet of waterfront frontage, the outdoor experience rivals many of South Florida’s finest boutique resorts.

Technology Woven Into Every Detail

Luxury today extends well beyond architecture, and this residence embraces technology as an integral part of everyday living.

The entire property operates through an enterprise-grade smart home infrastructure capable of managing lighting, climate, security, surveillance cameras, access control, and automated gates from a unified platform.

“This isn’t simply a smart home,” Stark explained. “It’s an enterprise-level technology environment engineered to deliver security, reliability, and effortless control throughout every aspect of the property.”

The extensive network infrastructure ensures the home is prepared for future technological advances while maintaining exceptional day-to-day performance.

Designed for Collectors, Entertainers, and Wellness Enthusiasts

One of the estate’s defining characteristics is the breadth of lifestyle amenities incorporated into the design.

An eight-car collector garage serves as both secure vehicle storage and an architectural showpiece, featuring a dramatic glass wall that connects directly to the adjacent club lounge.

Entertainment continues throughout the residence with a dedicated 4K laser cinema, expansive club and bar areas, and multiple indoor gathering spaces designed to accommodate events of virtually any scale.

For wellness-focused owners, the residence includes a fully customized professional fitness center alongside a complete spa-inspired wellness suite featuring a private sauna.

“The home was designed around how people actually want to live today,” Stark said. “Whether that’s entertaining, collecting automobiles, focusing on wellness, or simply enjoying the waterfront lifestyle, every space supports those experiences.”

Privacy Meets Premier Waterfront Living

Beyond its impressive architecture, the property’s location contributes significantly to its long-term appeal.

The residence sits within one of Fort Lauderdale’s most prestigious gated waterfront communities, where dedicated police patrols provide an additional layer of security alongside the home’s own private gated entrance.

The combination of controlled access, substantial waterfront frontage, and proximity to Fort Lauderdale’s marinas, private aviation facilities, beaches, and downtown business district continues to attract entrepreneurs, executives, professional athletes, and international buyers seeking privacy without sacrificing accessibility.

As available waterfront parcels continue to decline across South Florida, newly completed estates of this caliber have become increasingly rare.

A Trophy Property for South Florida’s Next Generation

Unlike many luxury homes that focus primarily on finishes or square footage, 513 Middle River Drive presents a comprehensive lifestyle vision—one where architecture, technology, recreation, wellness, and waterfront living exist in equal measure.
