Developer Andy Ansin, son of media billionaire Edmund Ansin, just sold a spec home he co-developed with Jomed Construction for $7.9 million.
Property records show Hammock Lake LLC, led by Andy Ansin and Jomed, sold the seven-bedroom, roughly 11,000-square-foot mansion at 4995 Hammock Lake Drive to a trust controlled by attorney Scott J Perdigon. The 4995 Hammock Lake Drive Trust financed the deal with a $5 million mortgage from Iberiabank.
Dennis Carvajal of One Sotheby’s International Realty represented the buyer and seller, according to a spokesperson. It hit the market in 2016 for $9.25 million, which means it sold at a 15 percent discount, and was later relisted for nearly $8.5 million in February.
The lakefront estate sits on a 40,500-square-foot lot with an infinity edge pool and Jacuzzi, a guest home, home theater, outdoor fireplace, wraparound terrace and summer kitchen. Hammock Lake is west of the Old Cutler neighborhood.
Edmund Ansin owns South Florida television station WSVN-Channel 7. Andy Ansin runs the Miramar Park of Commerce, a business park with five million square feet of industrial space. Last week, the Ansin family paid $14 million for a nearly 29-acre development site in Miramar with no immediate plans for the land.
Andy Ansin also paid $8 million in 2015 for a waterfront lot on Sunset Island I in Miami Beach.
For real estate investors in Florida, timing and the right loan program are everything. If you need to close fast on a property, a Bridge Loan Florida can provide temporary financing while you line up long-term options. If you’re an income property investor, a DSCR Loan Florida is especially valuable since it’s based on rental income rather than personal financials. And for investors who work on distressed properties, a Hard Money Loan Florida can help fund renovations quickly. These programs are particularly useful in competitive markets like Miami and Tampa, where deals move quickly. With the right financing tools, you can stay ahead of the curve, secure more deals, and maximize your investment returns.
