Cocoplum’s Waterways – Mangrove Trees and Manatees
June 1st, 2010 Categories:Coral Gables Waterfront Properties
Over the Memorial Day weekend I took some friends out on the boat for some swimming and sightseeing. Being a realtor, one of my favorite things to do is to tour the Coral Gables waterways and see the homes from a different perspective. Yesterday we decided to hit the ”back-country” of Cocoplum. While the homes on Tahiti Beach have direct Bay views and are obviously more prestigious, the homes that are located on the canals have a serenity and peacefulness about them that is hard to find in Miami. These homes offer views of the lush mangrove trees, a bit of Florida wildlife, and the serene waters you see in the photo above. Although we didn’t happen to see any this trip, it is not uncommon to see the whiskers of a manatee poking his head up for a breath of fresh air, or a great Egret perched in one of the mangroves.

Wednesdays are great because brokers across South Florida hold their listings open for other agents. It is a great opportunity for me to preview homes for my current buyers. After visiting roughly 10 Broker’s Open houses yesterday the shining star was the house located at 5850 Riviera Drive. This is a great waterfront home for a great price. The house features 5 bedrooms and 6 baths with 5,646 square feet of living space on an 18,750 square foot lot. The home has 2 boat slips (100 feet of water frontage), 2 car carport, 2 car garage and large living and entertaining spaces. The owner of the home is an artist and has done some great things to it, I agree with the listing agent, the house has great karma! Priced at $2,550,000, the home was recently reduced from $2,650,000. Broker is EWM.
