Belle Meade Island's 'The Light House' lists for $43.9M

The numbers

The house sits on an 18,208-square-foot corner lot with 120 feet of direct open-bay frontage, the release says. It has seven bedrooms, seven full bathrooms, a powder room and a housekeeper suite. A private deep-water dock can accommodate a 100-foot yacht and jet skis. The lot works out to about $2,411 per square foot of land at the asking price.

What’s next

The release credits architect Cody J. Thamann of Thamann Architecture + Design and landscape architect Christopher Cawley. It describes double-height ceilings, retractable opposing glass walls from the front courtyard through to the bay, and a palette of travertine, lava stone, bronze and teak. The ground-level primary suite opens to the bay and pool deck, with separate his-and-hers dressing rooms.

There are three kitchens: a display kitchen with a green-veined marble island, a concealed catering kitchen, and an outdoor summer kitchen with gas, charcoal and hibachi grills. A climate-controlled automotive gallery holds up to 16 cars, with a second-story observation lounge. Other features include a private elevator, a poker loft, a hyperbaric chamber, and a glass-encased wellness room over the water with a gym, sauna and spa. More coverage is on our South Florida page.
