The Light House Lists for $43.9 Million on Miami's Belle Meade Island
Known as "The Light House," a newly completed waterfront estate has hit the market for $43.9 million in Miami’s ultra-private, double guard-gated Belle Meade Island. Owned by entrepreneur and powerboat racer Ross Romash and his wife, Caroline Romash, the property is poised to shatter historic neighborhood sales records.
Conceived by architect Cody J. Thamann of Thamann Architecture + Design alongside landscape architect Christopher Cawley, the residence commands an 18,208-square-foot corner lot with 120 feet of unobstructed direct open-bay frontage. The property spans 11,358 total interior square feet, featuring seven bedrooms, seven full bathrooms, and a powder room.
The main living level showcases soaring double-height ceilings, dramatic custom millwork, and fully retractable opposing glass walls that create a seamless breezeway from a waterfall-framed front courtyard straight through to the bay. The home's architectural distinction is highlighted by an exquisite material palette of large-format travertine, lava stone, bronze detailing, and teak. The ground-level primary suite opens entirely to the bay and pool deck via dual vanishing walls and includes separate his-and-hers dressing rooms alongside a bespoke dual shower suite.
The estate is equipped with three distinct kitchens: a dramatic main display kitchen with a green-veined marble waterfall island and Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances; a catering and prep kitchen fully concealed behind fluted millwork; and an outdoor summer kitchen fitted with gas, charcoal, and hibachi grills.
Standout luxury amenities include a dedicated housekeeper suite, a private elevator, a poker loft, and a private deep-water dock capable of accommodating a 100-foot yacht and jet skis. A glass-encased wellness room is suspended overlooking the water, featuring a gym, sauna, and integrated spa. For automotive enthusiasts, the estate boasts a spectacular climate-controlled automotive gallery designed to exhibit a luxury collection of up to 16 cars, complete with an overlooking second-story observation lounge and a hyperbaric chamber.
The property is located at 1155 Belle Meade Island Dr, Miami, FL 33138 and is listed by Chad Carroll with The Carroll Group at Compass.
