A NEW GOLD STANDARD

IN SOUTH FLORIDA LUXURY

34,000 Square Foot Compound in Southwest Ranches

By Peter Elston

Some homes speak softly. Others make a statement the moment you enter the gates—and 16745 Stratford Court in Southwest Ranches is most certainly the latter. In fact, it may be one of the most extraordinary private estates to ever break ground in South Florida. And it’s one of the last of its kind. With more than 34,000 square feet of masterfully designed living space, this ten-bedroom, eleven-bathroom compound is less a house and more a fully realized lifestyle.

Set within the exclusive Landmark Ranch Estates—Southwest Ranches’ only gated enclave—this is one of the very last opportunities to own new construction in a community beloved by celebrities, athletes, and anyone who prizes privacy and prestige. Imagine calling Gisele Bündchen, The Rock, and Rick Ross your neighbors, all while living just 30 minutes from the major airports in Miami and Fort Lauderdale. Tommy Crivello, the listing’s seasoned and trusted agent, sums it up best: “Southwest Ranches is the Hamptons of South Florida.”

The comparisons to the Hamptons aren’t just about exclusivity. Like its East Coast counterpart, Southwest Ranches is a patchwork of sprawling estates and tight-knit neighborhoods, but with the added allure of year-round sun, equestrian charm, and tropical luxury. And at the heart of this rare offering is a home designed to meet—and exceed—the expectations of the world’s most discerning buyers.

Developed by the acclaimed RCR Homes and conceptualized by the renowned Toma Design Group, 16745 Stratford Court is unapologetically over-the-top in all the right ways. Every inch has been tailored for ultimate comfort, privacy, and, let’s be honest, a fair bit of jaw-dropping luxury. The phrase “his and her everything” isn’t just a tagline—it’s a design principle. From dual walk-in closets in the master suite to personal salons and steam rooms, each space is crafted with its own purpose and indulgence.

But perhaps the most eye-catching element is what’s been dubbed the “Trophy Man Cave.” At 2,359 square feet and two stories tall, it features 17-foot ceilings capable of holding three-high car lifts and showcasing over 25 luxury vehicles. Above, a full wellness suite includes a massage room, hair salon, steam room, and fitness studio—a retreat within a retreat.  

The home also includes a dedicated children’s wing, complete with four bedrooms, a study, its own TV room, laundry area, and even a safe room—balancing family function with thoughtful luxury. For moments when the entire household comes together, there’s a 1,200-bottle wine cellar, a massive custom home theater with a 120-inch screen, a formal dining space, and a resort-style outdoor entertainment area complete with pool, cabana, and summer kitchen. 

Even your guests and staff are not left out. The property includes a two-bedroom staff quarters and a separate two-bedroom guest house to ensure privacy and comfort for everyone who steps foot on this estate.

“This home is not for everybody,” Crivello says, with the confidence of someone who has sold more than $325 million in South Florida real estate. “It’s for someone who appreciates exceptional quality and craftsmanship.” He’s referring to the Gaggenau 400 Series appliances, imported materials, and the architectural details that only seasoned designers like Toma Design Group can deliver.  

What makes 16745 Stratford Court stand out isn’t just its size or scale—it’s the holistic vision of luxury living it represents. This is a home for the collector, the entertainer, the wellness enthusiast, and the visionary family who sees their home not just as a place to live, but as a legacy to be lived.  

For New York readers eyeing Florida’s luxury market, this is more than just a sun-soaked getaway. It’s a bold, singular opportunity to own a masterpiece—one that blends privacy, beauty, and architectural precision into a once-in-a-lifetime estate. And in a world where “last chance” usually means compromise, here it means arriving at something truly remarkable.
