“There are ten homes here selling for upwards of $25 million, and this one is getting multiple offers,” says owner and developer Ahmad Khamsi. “There’s an annual sell rate of just two homes a year because there are very few people who have $25 million.”

Apparently, those who do are giving strong consideration to the property that Khamsi calls Dilido 212 – also known widely as Casa Clara – which is currently listed by Julian Johnston of Calibre International Realty for a cool $32 million.

That’s because it’s perched on an exclusive and highly coveted double lot with a southwest orientation that yields stunning views of Biscayne Bay and downtown Miami across 120 feet of shimmering waterfront.

The home features 11,500 square feet of luxury living space on two levels, with seven bedrooms, nine baths, two powder rooms and three kitchens – two inside and one out. It’s also packed with designer names, such as Boffi (the baths and kitchens), Kreon (the architectural lighting) and custom furniture by Henge.

Not to mention elegant interior design by Charlotte Dunagan Design Group and eye-popping contemporary architecture by Ruben Gomez and Ralph Choeff, founder and principal of award-winning Choeff Levy Fischman based in Miami.

Their work is in a style that Choeff calls Tropical Modern – known for blurring the lines between inside and out and extremely popular across South Florida. “There isn’t an island or a street here that doesn’t have a Ralph Choeff home on it,” Khamsi says.

Khamsi began interviewing architects three years ago, after envisioning the basic design for the house he wanted to build and then sell.
