Named for its former owner, Carl G. Fisher, a pioneer in the development of beachfront real estate. Three miles off the coast of South Florida's mainland is Fisher Island. The island has no causeway or roads; it can only be reached by private boat, chopper, or ferry. It was formerly the Vanderbilts' and then a number of other millionaires' single-family island mansion, but in the 1960s it was sold for development. Before construction for extremely restricted multi-family use—which lasted for well over 15 years—the land stood empty for a considerable amount of time. Fisher Island as it is today exclusive & private. The illustrious Fisher Island Club is at the center of this magnificent tropical getaway. The Vanderbilt home, Club Cottages, golf course, tennis complex, spa, beach club, and private marinas have all undergone meticulous repair and remodeling. The historic landmark was to be restored in order to meet the high expectations of today's discerning resident, member, and visitor. The most affluent zip code in the United States is represented by the exclusive and exclusive Fisher Island of today. The greatest residential and recreational amenities available anywhere in the world are provided to members and visitors of this premium country club and Miami Beach living resort alternative.
