Mr. van der Vlugt did not immediately return a request for comment.
It’s the most expensive home sold in the county so far this year, according to sales data on Redfin. The last big-ticket sale was a waterfront estate in Tahiti Beach that NFL linebacker Jonathan Vilma reportedly sold for $14.4 million in January, according to The Real Deal, which first reported the most recent record breaker.
Mr. Vilma’s sale is now No. 2 to this Coconut Grove home, which boasts 350 feet of water frontage and two pools (one on the roof). The buyer is listed in records only as Miami-based company 3550 Matheson Ave, LLC.
