Staying in Florida is Lionel Messi’s decision. The Argentinean soccer star picked up a house in Fort Lauderdale, close to Miami, not long ago. Not long ago, Messi paid $10.75 million for the seaside property in Florida. The 36-year-old bought the two-story contemporary house in 1998, just before he joined Inter Miami’s squad in July of this year.
This private, gated community is home to the 10,500-square-foot mansion. This stunning mansion with eight bedrooms, nine bathrooms, two boat decks, and a powder room is ideal for the athlete, his wife, and their children; they relocated to South Florida this summer and have been looking for a permanent home ever since.
Close by are several eateries, nightlife venues, beaches, golf courses, coffee shops, and boutiques, and the soccer star’s home field, Drive Pink Stadium, is only a short distance away from the mansion in Miami. Located close to some of the top private schools in the state, this posh gated community offers 24-hour security, yacht and boat docks, and more.
On a cul-de-sac with a 170 foot waterfront, Messi’s Miami property stands. This sprawling estate has it all: multiple bedrooms, a spa, a gym, a pool, and three garage spaces. The main bedroom at Messi’s Miami property is a massive 1,600 square feet, which is not surprising given all the rooms and facilities in the house.
The anticipated annual property taxes for this Miami home are $83,400, while the monthly HOA costs are $500, according to Compass.com. Property prices in the Bay Colony range from $2 million to $20 million or even more.
An Elegant Cooking Space Befitting a Soccer Prince
Every gourmet’s fantasy kitchen is waiting for them in Lionel Messi’s brand new Miami mansion. The spacious Italian kitchen features an island that can accommodate six people, a dining space, under-cabinet lighting, huge wood cabinets, and high-quality appliances. Lori Morris designed Messi’s home, which is both elegant and serene, with unusual, eclectic, and well-considered objects. Messi was able to realize his ambition of owning this home with the assistance of Donna and Samuel Simpkin of Compass, as well as Jennifer Abbott of ONE Sotheby’s International Realty.
The living area of Messi’s Miami house features breathtaking views of the ocean and pool in the backyard. Many other high-end features of this mansion include a foyer with two doors, porcelain tile flooring, chandeliers made of glass and gold, and expansive windows that let in natural light. Natural light, wallpaper with gold details, unusual animal-themed furnishings, and charcoal velvet wall panels are just a few of the distinctive character traits of this eight-bedroom residence.
Among Many: Messi’s Mansion?The superstar from Inter Miami CF, who is second on the list of the highest-paid athletes this year with almost $130 million, has more than just this place to sleep. In addition to his Miami condo worth $5 million, Messi owns a $7 million mansion in Barcelona and a piece of real estate at Florida’s Sunny Isles Beach.
