All those in favor of passing on 20-plus-hour flights to Bali when a waterfront home in Florida provides similar lush settings year-round, say I.
Set within Key Largo’s exclusive Ocean Reef Club, where television star Kathie Lee Gifford once owned a home, a five-bedroom house with serene vistas of Card Sound Bay stands engulfed by the tropical landscape. All yours for $29.4 million, the listing held by Post Taylor Group of Ocean Reef Club Sotheby’s International Realty has potential access to concierge services, a putting green, and a private airport.

The Snapper Point residence was built in 2003 with a breezy indoor-outdoor design that sprawls over 6,400 square feet, framing the neighborhood’s natural beauty from multiple vantages. Public records show it last sold for $9 million in 2015. The “Bali-inspired” features are most apparent in its custom design that mirrors Joglo-style homes, common throughout the Indonesian province.
A gable-roofed porch held up by two large wooden columns shelters a wooden front door accented with metal studs. Stone flooring leads into a central lounge, which is a key element of traditional Balinese residences. The room’s high-pitched ceiling, laced with bamboo sticks, is another detail that connects the home with the island’s traditional architecture that stems from the social and spiritual values of the community.
The living room and media room open to the swimming pool, which is completely screened in to keep Florida’s notoriously big bugs at bay. In addition to the poolside lounge areas, a tiki bar, hot tub, and cabana bath are nearby. Elsewhere, the dining room accommodates eight in front of misty bay views, while the spacious kitchen spills onto a screened deck with a built-in grill and waterside dining area. Fans keep the air moving throughout the home.
A vaulted ceiling hovers above the main-floor primary bedroom, which spills onto a covered deck with an ocean-facing hot tub. His and hers spa-like bathrooms are also part of the suite. There are a couple more bedrooms and an office upstairs. A summer kitchen, a spacious garage, and a private dock round out the digs’ key amenities.
Those who pony up become members of the Ocean Reef Club gain lots of additional perks. Its concierge services range from booking dinner reservations to renting cars. Access to its spa, tennis court, and marina are also included in a membership.
