University of Miami qualified faculty members and medical affiliates can take advantage of an exclusive opportunity to live in the lush enclave of Four Fillies Farm, private university housing in the Pinecrest school district, donated to the University by philanthropist and longtime trustee Frank Smathers Jr.
Four Fillies Farm consists of 30 newly constructed villas built on 11 acres in the center of the bucolic 32-acre Smathers Estate located between Red Road (SW 57th Avenue) and Old Cutler, in Pinecrest. The additional 21 acres of surrounding grounds, rare plant life, extensive fruit groves and natural hammock are maintained by Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden. Gated, private, and adjacent to the marina, this university setting is home to UM faculty and recruits. Walking trails, swimming pool and hot tub, tennis court, playground, workout room and clubhouse, privately gated Four Fillies offers acres of tranquility. Developed by MAMCO and designed and built by Breakstone, Four Fillies has preserved, very much intact, the natural environment of the estate… designing the entire community in and around existing tropical plants and trees.
Quality-built by internationally renown Breakstone, most of the villas have already been sold, and are lived in. A handful of homes are available. All are GREEN CERTIFIED by the Florida Green Building Coalition, and expected to perform 20-30% better on average than the Florida Energy Code, which should provide significant savings.
Current and future qualified UM recruits and faculty can apply their SAM Program Incentives to any property in Four Fillies Farm.
The homes currently available are two-story, 4-5 bedrooms, priced at $1,145,000 – $1, 595,00 (with a particularly lovely 5 bedroom available for $1,400.000.00)… Every home in Four Fillies offers a guaranteed buy-back program from the University, advantageous for buyers, as it encourages and enables highly competitive loan options from lenders.
Located near Fairchild Tropical Botanic Gardens, and near Pinecrest Gardens (with it’s state of the art Community Center, library, classes, village greens), and near Matheson Hammock Park (with boating facilities, lagoon beach, biking trails), Four Fillies is located within Pinecrest’s highly desirable school district (Pinecrest Elementary, Palmetto Middle and Palmetto Senior High).
