LA GORCE ISLAND, MIAMI BEACH, FL -- One of the
celebrity world’s most dynamic home decorators and flippers, Cher has
bought, designed, improved and sold magnificent homes from Hawaii to
California, New York and Florida.
 |
| With 11,460 SF of interior, the three-story Mediterranean-styled home has six bedrooms, eight baths and a two-story living room. |
Over the years her tasteful decor, with a
touch of the exotic, has made decorating magazine covers in the finest
architectural publications worldwide, according to
 |
| Mansion's front entrance |
One of her best homes was on exclusive La
Gorce Island in Miami Beach, a home with the Cher signature still very much intact.
A classic example of Cher’s fondness for
Moorish architectural additions, the Biscayne Bay estate has recently come on
the market at $22 million.
In 1993, Cher bought
and then, according to Architectural Digest, turned the home into a grand villa that
reflected her evolving taste.
It was the beginning of her penchant for
Venetian and Moorish design, unlike the minimalist clean lines and white
furniture of her previous homes.
This home she filled with religious art, rich-deep-hued fabrics, carved wood, and decorative “clutter,” as she called it. When she sold the house in 1996, she took the furnishings from this and some of her other homes and started a mail order catalog named Sanctuary.
Though now clean-lined, bright, white and
clutter free, the Moorish arches and a fireplace with Moorish accents are shown
off perfectly, adding a welcome uniqueness to the tropical environment.
Large and impressive with 11,460 square feet
of interior, the three-story Mediterranean-styled home has six bedrooms and
eight baths and a two-story living room, gourmet kitchen, office, media room,
bar, gym, game room and air conditioned garage.
There is a 300-square-foot, walk-in custom
closet and a dock that can accommodate a 150’ yacht. Outside, are views of the
bay, the heated lap pool, spa and cabana with full bath.
The bay and city lights are viewed through a stand of perfectly spaced palms and there is a seating area by the dock.
