"Floating" Fort Lauderdale Mansion Hits the Market for $50M

A waterfront mansion straight out of Architectural Digest is available in Fort Lauderdale for an extremely cool $49.9 million.

Designed by Winter Haven native Max Strang, the 10,000-square-foot home on the New River at 516 Mola Ave. features a “floating” cantilever design, floor-to-ceiling windows that offer “breathtaking panoramic views,” a gourmet chef’s kitchen, a movie theater, six bedrooms, seven bathrooms and two half-baths, and an expansive pool with 740 feet of waterfront. The 1.16-acre gated peninsula estate was built by Bomar Builders in 2020.

The property even has a court dedicated to America’s new favorite pastime: pickleball.

“This estate beautifully blends modern aesthetics with its serene natural surroundings, offering an unmatched living experience,” the listing reads.
