Bezos’ Miami neighbour seeks US$200 million for empty 0.7 ha lot
A MYSTERY seller is asking US$200 million for an empty waterfront lot next door to the properties Jeff Bezos bought in South Florida.
The roughly 0.74 hectare is located at Indian Creek, a man-made barrier island that’s been dubbed “Billionaire Bunker”.
Ilya Reznik, who’s brokering the transaction, declined to identify the seller but said they are “willing to negotiate” on price. “I’ve already had a couple of showings and obviously the buyer is going to be a billionaire,” Reznik said.
Even if the land ultimately fails to sell for US$200 million, Reznik believes it will still set a record for the region.
That’s in part because of the Amazon.com founder, who’s bought three properties in Indian Creek since 2023, including two next door to the lot that’s now for sale.
On his third purchase earlier this year, Bezos paid roughly US$87 million.

“I think US$200 million is a big number but I’m confident that in the end the buyer will pay a little extra because Bezos is a neighbour,” Reznik said. “Those prices just didn’t exist before he came to Indian Creek.”
The empty land was purchased for US$27.5 million in 2018 by SMM Sunny Holding, a Delaware company, records show.
Reznik said the current owner drew pre-designs for a 2,322.6 square metre estate on the property that will be available to the buyer.
The listing was first reported by the New York Post. BLOOMBERG
