South Florida’s ‘Monarch Estate’ Hits the Market for $14M

Elliman’s Senada Adžem has listed a stunning fully-furnished, two-floor estate in Weston, Fla., for $14,000,000. Known as the “Monarch Estate” for the exquisite butterfly sanctuary on its sprawling 1.5-acre grounds, this 12,000-square-foot home at 3030 Meadow Lane is located in the prestigious Windmill Ranch Estates community, just north of Miami. The beautifully rendered seven-bedroom, eight-and-a-half bath home was designed by renowned architect Randall Stofft on a canvas bathed in brilliant, invigorating whites—from the custom cabinetry in the chef’s kitchen and master bathroom to the Turkish Carrara marble flooring in the dining area and formal living room—offset by rustic earth tones. With 2,000 square feet devoted to the kitchen, dining room and family room, the home is built for entertaining and includes a multitiered cinema. The exterior is anchored by a 93-foot-long heated infinity edge pool, as well as an in-ground spa with room for 12 people. The multipurpose sports court features a glass-backboard basketball hoop. The spacious outdoor setting also boasts a summer kitchen and dining area; a separate entertainment space, with a fireplace and flat-screen TV; and a dramatic fountain just off the pool, with three stone-filled square fire bowls. The butterfly sanctuary dramatically elevates the outdoor living space. Many Floridian flowering plants, as well as sheltering bushes and shrubs, have been carefully chosen to create an ideal environment for all types of butterflies to flourish, including Firebush, Lantanas, Firecracker plant, Texas Sage, Pentas, Mexican Heather and Jatropha. Other highlights include Savant Smart Home technology (with automated control of everything from lighting and audio to fans, security, and the thermostat); a commercial grade elevator; a butler’s pantry; authentic Jerusalem stone; state-of-the-art appliances in the double-island kitchen; a home gym; and a surround-sound system comprising some 100 combined indooroutdoor speakers.
