The new eco-mansion that will be home to NFL GOAT Tom Brady – who sensationally announced his come back from retirement in March – and his model wife Gisele Bundchen is starting to take shape in its waterfront slot on Miami’s exclusive ‘Billionaire’s Bunker’.
The celebrity couple purchased the plot of land for $17 million in late 2020. Since then, they’ve torn down a pre-existing 5,772-square-foot home on their lot and are building a state-of-the-art eco-friendly mansion in its place.
Indian Creek Island is referred to as ‘the world’s most exclusive municipality’, and with just 34 properties available across 300 acres – all of which have waterfront views of Biscayne Bay, near Miami, Florida – it’s also one of the most expensive.
Aptly referred to as ‘Billionaire Bunker’, the island is home to the likes of hotel magnate Jeffrey Soffer, activist Carl Icahn and Hotels.com Founder Robert Diener.
It has also become a hotbed for celebrities, like Tom Brady and his wife, Gisele Bündchen, and political figures, including Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump.
The celebrity couple’s home is across the street from a golf course that’s part of an exclusive country club. Tom and Gisele are said to be avid design fans and love to obsesses over details such as different doorknob styles.
For Brazilian beauty Bundchen, it’s particularly important to her that the property is ‘ecologically sound’.
Brady and Gisele – who have a combined net worth of $650 million – already hold a multi-million dollar real estate portfolio, with luxurious homes in Florida and California.
The couple also belongs to the ultra-exclusive Yellowstone Club in Big Sky, Montana. In December 2020 – the same month they bought their new lot – the couple sold their 12,000-square-foot Brookline, Massachusetts, mansion for $32.5 million, Forbes reported.
Indian Creek Island is only accessible by a single, guarded bridge, and it has a private police force that patrols the community around-the-clock by foot, sky, and land.
