Look inside. Macy's luxury in Miami: 10-bedroom, 8-bathroom villa and waterfront pool | sports

Messi, his wife Antonella and their three children have been living in Fort Lauderdale since September – also known as “the Venice of America” ​​because of its many canals. Features of the city, which is about 12 kilometers from Inter Miami DRV PNK Stadium: pearly white beaches and numerous ports.

Nice for Messi: Sergio Busquets has now also moved on. His former FC Barcelona teammate also paid a tidy sum of €8 million for a water villa in Sea Ranch Lakes. And soon Luis Suarez can complete the picture. The Uruguayan, who is a very good friend of Messi, will also soon be playing for David Beckham's club.

Messi's residence relates to a residence located in a cul-de-sac of at least 974 square meters at 91 Compass Lane in Bay Colony, a gated and guarded residential area. The villa has ten bedrooms, eight bathrooms, an Italian kitchen, three garages, a VIP suite, a wellness area, a fitness room, an outdoor pool and a 51-metre-wide garden overlooking the water, including two piers where you can moor the boat. . The year of construction is 1988, the designer is Laurie Morris, who has already appeared in many design magazines for luxury homes with the villa. (Read more below the pictures)

For businessman, writer and podcaster Patrick Pete David, having Macy's in Bay Colony is a blessing. He bought a villa there for 19 million euros in 2021, and according to him, it is now worth at least 4 million euros. “Now that Messi lives next door to me, everyone comes here by boat to look at our houses. But for now that's all right. And this is – God forbid it stays that way – a very safe, heavily guarded neighbourhood. You can only drive in one direction here. It seems like everyone suddenly wants to live here now. This definitely makes me financially satisfied. Given the current real estate climate, my villa must be worth €23 million already.

The Villa Messi deal involved a so-called “off-market deal”, where the house does not end up for sale on the general market, but is only shown to a select group of estate agents who act as intermediaries between buyers. And the seller. The agent in question is couple Samuel and Donna Simpkin, who work for Compass Agency and have a deal with David Beckham's club Inter Miami to help their new players find accommodation in the area. The sellers, John and Stacey Dickerson, paid €8.4 million for it in May 2022. That's a healthy profit margin for the Dickerson family. (Read more below the pictures)

It will be Macy's third property in the greater Miami area. Since 2019, he has owned a stunning apartment in the Porsche Design Tower on Sunny Isles Beach, for which he reportedly paid €4.6 million. It seems to have a great view of Miami.

A short distance later, he had the entire ninth floor of the prestigious Regalia Hotel in his portfolio. Fully furnished, with four bedrooms, four bathrooms and a 1,000-bottle wine cellar. Outside, Messi has a terrace of about 200 square meters and a private swimming pool. Price: 6.8 million euros.

In addition, he is also said to have a house in Barcelona worth €6.5 million and also a huge residence in his Argentinian city of Rosario. He is therefore not inferior to Cristiano Ronaldo, who also specialized in purchasing luxury properties around the world. View Cristiano Ronaldo's properties here.

Messi signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with Inter Miami, for a total amount of 140 million euros. This amount includes his salary, signing fees and revenues he receives from deals with Apple and Adidas, which are commercial partners of Major League Soccer.
