Indian Creek Island was already on the map for many of the world’s wealthiest people as a must-see destination for a private enclave (or tax shelter) in South Florida, but recently two enormous real-estate deals put the 300-acre destination front and center for the rest of the world.
On December 7, the
New York Post reported that Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner plunked down more than $31 million dollars for the 1.84-acre lot at 4 Indian Creek Island. Previously owned by Julio Iglesias arguably Indian Creek’s most famous resident until recently the property has 200 feet of private bay front and comes with a reported tax bill of $472,764 per year. (Iglesias isn’t believed to be going far; he’s said to own three additional lots on the island.)
