Waterfront homes in Fort Lauderdale, Florida! There’s plenty of them out there and this video showcases a nighttime view of just some of the most recognizable ones.
Any guess who’s sprawling estate this once was? It belonged to Wayne Huizenga – The late, prominent businessman and founder of AutoNation, Waste Management and co-owner of Blockbuster Video, the Miami Dolphins, Florida Panthers and Florida Marlins professional sports teams. He lived within this 18,000 square foot waterfront property that sits on 60,000 square feet of land in the Rio Vista neighborhood of Fort Lauderdale. Known as Tarpon Pointe, the iconic estate is a mix of Mediterranean and French architectural styles. This gorgeous estate sits along 590 feet of prime Fort Lauderdale riverfront.
And yes, this is more of the same waterfront estate that once belonged to the late Wayne Huizenga.
