Fort Lauderdale, FL – A $50 million estate in Fort Lauderdale, FL, designed by acclaimed architect Max Strang, has hit the market, capturing attention with its unique cantilever design that appears to float above the surrounding canal. Originally planned for a different plot, the home’s location was chosen after Strang’s initial site inspection revealed an unexpected sight—a nude neighbor. To avoid such issues, the Tuckmans, the property’s original owners, selected a more secluded site, previously owned by billionaire Wayne Huizenga.

The six-bedroom, 7.5-bathroom mansion boasts 740 feet of waterfront, a guesthouse, and a pool that stretches the length of the home. Its exterior, resembling wood but crafted from porcelain tile, reflects Strang’s innovative touch, blending aesthetics with practicality. The cantilever design was a response to potential flooding, raising the house above ground at a cost of $1 million.

The property offers not just luxury but also historical significance, once belonging to the late Huizenga, former owner of several Miami sports teams and founder of Blockbuster and Waste Management. The listing agent highlights the home’s one-of-a-kind design and expansive space, making it a standout in the market.
