The Redlands In Homestead Are Part Of Miami’s Real Estate Revolution

Miami condo prices already jumped 34 percent in the first 6 months of 2012. Land prices are exploding as well

Property values in The Redlands, an agricultural community in metropolitan Miami, Florida, about 20 miles (32 km) southwest of Downtown Miami are part of Miami’s real estate boom with exploding property and land values. Many farms, original clapboard homes of early settlers, u-pick'em fields and coral rock walls dot the landscape. Redland is named for the red clay that dominates the area, on top of a massive layer of oolite rock. The entire area is nourished with pure water from the Biscayne Aquifer.

The Redlands have been a source of amazement to agriculturalists, botanists, and naturalists around the world, including John James Audubon and David Fairchild.

Some are referring to the area as the "New Hamptons", since there are many people from the northern states buying property and moving into the area.

Brosda and Bentley Miami Realtors, one of the premier real estate brokerages in Miami, just listed a 10 acres property on Tennessee Road neighboring the renowned Miami Castle built by Architect Charles Sieger’s for his own residence and a short drive away from the famous Schnebly Redland's Winery and Miami Brewing Company.

Many houses built in the area must be on a minimum of 5 acres (20,000 m2) of land, a law put into place to thwart development that has so far worked perfectly to preserve the area.

Peacocks live abundantly and freely within the many groves. Redland has also been designated a Wild Bird Sanctuary.

The property listed by Brosda and Bentley Miami Realtors is ideal for a very private and secluded equestrian estate to be built or for a naturist family to pursue an organic, ecological self-sufficient lifestyle. The particular area features many luxurious mansions and estates hidden from the road by lush landscaping.
