Nash Luxury of Illustrated Properties Expands into the Florida Keys with Stunning New $12.5 Million Listing

Power broker Billy Nash exclusively markets 10-acre waterfront compound, a true boater’s paradise, in Marathon

Billy Nash, founder of Nash Luxury at Illustrated Properties – a member of The Keyes Family of Companies, is taking his unparalleled luxury real estate marketing prowess to the Florida Keys. Nash is the exclusive listing agent for a 10-acre waterfront compound in Marathon.

The boater’s paradise at 57865 Morton St. on Marathon’s Grassy Key is being offered at $12.5 million. A rare gem with 5.75 acres of land, 5 acres of bay bottom, a private boat basin and even its own private lobster farm, this one-of-a-kind listing is already generating substantial interest from wealthy U.S.-based buyers.

“This incredible compound is one of the largest of its kind in the Keys, which has been exploding with demand from luxury buyers competing for a dwindling amount of inventory,” Nash said. “For a domestic buyer, it has the feel of an island getaway without having to fly to the Caribbean – that is particularly compelling amid the current international travel restrictions. With the Marathon Airport/FBO just 10 minutes away, this property is a 30-minute helicopter ride from Miami, a two-hour private flight from New York and a four-hour flight from Los Angeles.”

Other property features include:

  • A four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom main house
  • Two-garage boat house/captain’s quarters
  • Private guest house with full workshop
  • Boat and jet ski ramp
  • 450-foot private jetty
  • Eight-car garage
  • Infinity pool
  • Gourmet chef’s kitchen

The property is ideal for the Florida Keys lifestyle, as it is just minutes away by boat from the famous 7 Mile Bridge – where renowned Monster Tarpon spawn every spring, an angler’s dream. The Keys are known for crystal clear blue waters and some of the world’s best fishing.

“Billy Nash continues to expand his presence as a South Florida luxury market leader,” Illustrated President and CEO Mike Pappas said. “With this trophy waterfront listing, Billy and Illustrated now brings unparalleled global partnerships, technology and marketing tools to the Florida Keys. We are excited to support Billy in what we expect to be an extremely successful transaction.”

Earlier this month, Palm Island – a private island accessible by bridge from Marathon – sold for $11 million. That transaction underscores the intense demand for luxury homes in the Keys.

Nash, host of AWE Network’s “Selling Mega Mansions” and head of Illustrated’s Nash Luxury, has leveraged his exclusive relationships built over a two-decade career on Wall Street to become a household name in luxury real estate. In the past few years, Nash has closed high-end sales involving National Basketball Association and National Football League team owners, Major League Baseball and National Hockey League stars, the former manager of the Rolling Stones and many more high-profile individuals.

In September 2020, Nash completed the sale of a West Palm Beach residence to Pittsburgh Penguins forward Kasperi Kapanen without Kapanen ever setting foot in the home. The power broker created a customized video just for Kapanen to facilitate the sight unseen purchase.

Nash also represented the buyer of former World Series winner and batting champion Matt Holliday’s Jupiter estate in an $8.5 million transaction.

The $16.02 million sale of the late H. Wayne Huizenga’s Fort Lauderdale estate generated national attention for Nash in 2019. Nash embarked on a 90-day global campaign to market the estate and identify a buyer in advance of a private auction conducted by Concierge Auctions of New York. Nash has a strong partnership with Concierge and is a member of its Agent Advisory Board.

In 2020, Nash was voted by Palm Beach Post readers as the Best Real Estate Agent in Palm Beach County during the publication’s annual “Best of Palm Beach County” awards reception. He is again a finalist for the 2021 edition, with winners set to be announced in April.
