Boca Raton, FL -
Illustrated Properties Agent Alicia
Lammersdorf is the exclusive broker of the Paraiso Estates waterfront site
in Boca Raton.
Lammersdorf, on behalf of
renowned Boca Raton-based homebuilder Leonard Albanese & Sons Builders, is
offering buyers the rare opportunity to build grand custom estates on land with
a rich history that includes prior ownership by Henry Flagler and George
Morikami.
Known by many as the
“Banana Patch” land because of its use as a sprawling garden for the popular
fruit and various exotic plants, the 1.77-acre site has room to accommodate the
construction of a five-home compound. The estates are expected to vary in size,
starting at 5,500 square feet.
Asking prices for the individual estates range
from $3.8 million to $5.8 million.
With more than a city
block of water frontage along Boca Raton’s deepest canal, the Paraiso Estates
site is the longest piece of privately owned waterfront land in the city. For
luxury homeowners seeking privacy, the land is only accessible through three
private gates. Boating enthusiasts can take advantage of the ability to dock
yachts of up to 150 feet long.

“There is truly nothing
else like Paraiso Estates in Boca Raton,” said Lammersdorf. “The builders
behind this project have an unparalleled reputation in the marketplace. They
will build gorgeous transitional/modern-style smart homes while preserving the
site’s lush landscaping, flora and fauna. A “green home” package is available
and encouraged on this special site.
The site has changed hands
only a few times in Florida’s history, starting with its original owner
Flagler. Morikami, who late in life donated land that eventually became the
Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens to Palm Beach County, purchased the site
from Flagler’s Model Land Company in 1911.
Shortly after acquiring
the site, Morikami sold it to another Japanese settler: Hideo Kobayashi. The Kobayashi family were farmers who kept the
land until the late 1970s, when they sold it to the Olson’s, a married couple
who continued the farming tradition.
The Olson’s specialized in growing more
than 30 kinds of banana plants, selling some plants to Disney World, SeaWorld
and Busch Gardens, among other destinations.
