Estate & Gardens

The Main Residence

Designed by prominent architect Robert Fitch Smith with great sensitivity for both design and function, the fully restored and modernized main residence wraps around a picturesque central courtyard. The simplicity of the U shaped structure allows for an exceptional level of attentiveness to our residents and the covered breezeways allow for constant circulation of fresh air throughout the property. The graceful proportions of the residence, rooms and common areas are pleasingly human scale and welcoming.

The Grounds

Bay Oaks sits amidst breezy, verdant acreage in the heart of Miami. Our grounds include several historically designated buildings surrounded by pristine gardens with mature oak trees, native butterfly attracting flowering plants, designated gardens for roses and herbs, and an orchard with pomegranates, key limes, sour orange, papaya, and other fruits. Gardenia flowers and lemon all-spice trees perfume the breezes off Biscayne Bay, just steps from our front door. The expansive grounds and variety of common areas allow for endless opportunity for privacy, tranquility, or socializing – all important to a rich and fulfilling retirement. You can see a list of some of our more than 80 species of native and flowering plants at bayoaksmiami.com/plants/.
