Whether it’s Malibu or Miami, Cher’s homes have a lot in common. She is drawn to arches, Moorish ethnicity, romance with a touch of spice and all within a neutral palette because she says, " . . the colors are so easy to live with." Most have opened out to water views and are perfect backdrops for her collected art and hand picked luxurious furnishings and objects. Cher has a style all her own, envied by others and raved about in Architectural Digest and other media. It’s as though the real estate and decorating world can’t wait for her to find another one so we can once again see how she evolves. Cher has the talent of visualization that cuts right through to the bones of a house, never noticing someone else’s clutter or funky decorating. She immediately sees what it can and will be. Now someone has the opportunity to take advantage of Cher’s skill at picking a home with great bones and one where she has stamped her trademark design features.

This was the house that Cher picked in Miami Beach on La Gorce Island. In the 1990s, Cher renovated the 3-story Mediterranean estate to her taste with arches opening to waterfront views across Biscayne Bay, a dramatic courtyard entrance and lush plantings of palms. Cher even takes part in the landscape design when she redesigns a property, so we’re guessing she had her talented hand in this landscape too.

Though the house has been completely updated, it still has Cher’s personality imprint. The decorator has even gone so far as to display a Buddha objet d’art on a table in the master suite as Cher would likely have done in honor of her own practice of Buddhism. Large and impressive with 11,460 square feet of interior, it has 6 bedrooms and 8 baths and a 2-story living room, gourmet kitchen, and air conditioned garage. There is a 300 square foot walk-in custom closet and a dock that can accommodate a 150’ yacht. Outside with views of the bay is the heated swimming pool, spa and cabana with full bath.

Cher’s former La Gorce Island, Miami Beach estate was $16 million, now priced at $10.2 million.
