A $35 million Golden Beach, Fla., waterfront home with gold-plated neighbors — like Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim and rapper French Montana — is making waves of its own.
The new-construction modern manse, completed earlier this year, combines stone, wood and glass — and is centered around a 100-year-old Sevillano olive tree.
It’s part of the gated Golden Beach community in Miami-Dade County, which features its own police force, beach club, tennis courts, and a new gym and spa.

At 7,635 square feet, the home, at 194 S Island, features six bedrooms, six bathrooms and two powder rooms — on one-third of an acre. It was designed by architect Farid Chacón with interiors by Fanny Haim.
Design details include a double-height foyer with 24-foot-high ceilings, an eat-in chef’s kitchen, a formal dining room and a grand salon with a built-in bookshelf and a fireplace. There’s also a waterfront lounge and a travertine bar, along with oak-paneled walls, hardwood and marble floors, and custom millwork.

The main suite features a dressing room, a spa-like bath and a terrace overlooking the Intracoastal.
There’s also a home theater, a wine cellar that holds up to 48 bottles, a gym with a sauna, an elevator and staff rooms.

The sellers are Michelle and Michael G. Klinger, of Saber Real Estate, who bought the land for $6.25 million in 2021 and then built their dream house.
“There are many nice homes in the community, but this is next level,” said Douglas Elliman broker Dina Goldentayer, who shares the listing with Joel Lusky of the Brokerage South Florida.
