Hughes Cove — photography to follow
What Hughes Cove Miami costs on the public record — recorded sales, not asking prices.
Key Takeaways
- 🔴 A house here sold for $14,970,000 in January 2026 — and for $3,557,100 in 2016 — The same 6,355 square foot home, same folio. +320.8% in nine and a half years, or $560 to $2,356 per square foot. It is the highest price ever recorded in Hughes Cove and it is the most recent sale on the plat.
- ⭐ The last two buildable lots sold in December 2025 — A single deed dated 26 December 2025 covering both remaining vacant parcels, recorded at $6,000,000 — 18,648 square feet of land at $321.75 a foot. After they are built on, Hughes Cove is finished.
- It is eleven houses, not twelve — and it is smaller than almost anyone realises — The county records 25 folios in the Hughes Cove plat: 11 with a house on them, two buildable lots, and twelve $0 reference and absorbed parcels plus the common area. This page previously said twelve homes.
- The eleven houses are assessed at $106,700,581 for 2026 — Median $9,159,451, top $21,442,583. Homes run 5,659 to 11,117 square feet, built between 1996 and 2008.
- Recent sales run from $3.5m to $15m — Eight qualified sales since 2015, median $9,525,000: $3,557,100 · $3,747,400 · $7,725,000 · $8,550,000 · $10,500,000 · $12,437,500 · $12,850,000 · $14,970,000.
- ⚠️ One folio in the county record is plainly wrong, and you should know which — Folio 01-4121-158-0030 is recorded as a single-family home of 253 square feet with a 2026 assessed value of $9,683,331. That is a roll error. It is excluded from every per-square-foot figure on this page.
- ⛔ We do not publish who lives here — This page used to name two residents. It no longer does, and it will not. In a gated enclave of eleven houses, naming a resident effectively publishes their address.
Devon Road, Coconut Grove, Miami, Florida 33133 | Neighborhood: Coconut Grove
Hughes Cove is a gated enclave at the end of Devon Road in Coconut Grove, platted as HUGHES COVE, Plat Book 144-75, with its own private park, tennis court and a small boat basin on Biscayne Bay. It is very small, very expensive, and almost nothing accurate is published about it. This page is built from all 25 folios in the plat, pulled individually from the Miami-Dade County Property Appraiser.
What Hughes Cove actually is, on the county record
| What the county records | Folios |
|---|---|
| Single-family homes | 11 |
| Vacant residential lots carrying value | 2 |
| Vacant parcels assessed at $0 (absorbed into neighbouring folios) | 6 |
| Reference folios, all $0 | 5 |
| Private park, recreation area and roadway — 87,226 sq ft common area | 1 |
| Total | 25 |
Eleven houses. This page previously said twelve, and that is very close — but the difference is the interesting part, because the other two parcels are still buildable land, and they changed hands eight months ago.
The eleven houses run 5,659 to 11,117 square feet, on lots of 9,150 to 40,222 square feet. The county records their year built as 1996, 1997, 1999, 2001, 2003, 2003, 2004, 2007 and 2008, with two recorded as “multiple”. Bedroom counts run from three to nine.
2026 assessed value across the eleven: $106,700,581 — median $9,159,451, top $21,442,583, lowest $2,795,672.
⚠️ One folio in that set is wrong and you should know which one. Folio 01-4121-158-0030 is classified as a single-family home with a recorded heated area of 253 square feet and zero bedrooms, built 2008, on an 11,967 square foot lot — and assessed for 2026 at $9,683,331. A $9.68 million assessment on 253 square feet is a data error, not a house. It is included in the folio count and the assessed total above, and it is excluded from every price-per-square-foot figure on this page. We are naming it rather than quietly dropping it so you can check the same record we did.
The January 2026 sale, and what came before it
The most recent transaction in Hughes Cove closed on 15 January 2026 at $14,970,000. It is the highest price ever recorded on this plat.
The house is folio 01-4121-158-0250, 6,355 square feet, built in 2007 on a 9,150 square foot lot — the smallest lot in Hughes Cove. Its full recorded history:
| Date | Price | $/sq ft | What it was |
|---|---|---|---|
| December 1997 | $445,000 | — | Vacant lot |
| July 2008 | $2,700,000 | $425 | The new house |
| July 2016 | $3,557,100 | $560 | |
| 15 January 2026 | $14,970,000 | $2,356 |
From $3,557,100 in July 2016 to $14,970,000 in January 2026 is +320.8% in nine and a half years, on the same house, in the same enclave, with no intervening transfer of any kind. On a per-square-foot basis, $560 to $2,356.
⚠️ One sale is one sale. This is an eleven-house enclave; it is not a market and it cannot be read as one. What it can do is set an anchor, and it has set a very high one — the next seller in Hughes Cove now has a $2,356-a-foot comparable, and the next buyer has to argue against it.
For context, the other recent sales, all qualified and arm’s-length:
- $12,850,000 — August 2015, 8,355 sq ft, $1,538/sq ft
- $12,437,500 — September 2018, 8,831 sq ft, $1,408/sq ft
- $10,500,000 — May 2022, 11,117 sq ft, $944/sq ft — the largest house here
- $8,550,000 — April 2022, 7,638 sq ft, $1,119/sq ft
- $7,725,000 — December 2020, 5,659 sq ft, $1,365/sq ft — the smallest house here
Eight qualified sales since 2015, median $9,525,000. Note what the per-foot column does: the smaller the house, the higher the rate — $2,356 on 6,355 square feet against $944 on 11,117. In an enclave where the address is most of the value, floor area is not what is being bought.
The last two lots, sold December 2025
Two parcels in Hughes Cove are still classified vacant residential and still carry an assessed value: $2,205,000 on 8,820 square feet and $2,457,000 on 9,828 square feet, $4,662,000 combined for 2026.
⭐ Both were conveyed on 26 December 2025 in a single deed recorded at $6,000,000, flagged by the county as a qualified multi-parcel sale.
⚠️ That is $6,000,000 for the pair, not for each, and it is worth explaining why, because it is the single easiest way to double a headline number by accident. When one deed conveys several parcels, the county repeats the whole consideration against every folio in it. Both of these folios show $6,000,000 on the same day. Read carelessly, that is $12 million. Read correctly, it is one transaction: 18,648 square feet of Coconut Grove waterfront-community land at $321.75 per square foot.
What it means practically: Hughes Cove is nearly finished. Eleven houses stand, two lots remain, and both of those are now in one owner’s hands. Whatever gets built on them is the last new construction this enclave will see, and it will be built against a $14,970,000 comparable set three weeks after the land closed.
The full sale record, and how to read it
The county holds 90 sale rows across the 25 folios, of which 33 are qualified arm’s-length sales of a house going back to 1994. Every one of the eleven homes has traded at least once. Three cautions about reading it, all of which we applied before quoting anything:
Multi-parcel deeds are common here. Eight of the 33 qualified rows are flagged as covering more than one parcel, and several are matched pairs — two folios recorded on the same day at the same price. Every price-per-square-foot figure on this page comes from a single-parcel row.
The older dates are approximate. Rows before about 2008 carry the county’s month-and-year convention rather than a specific day. This page quotes them by month, and never invents a date the record does not hold.
And the sample is tiny. Eleven houses producing roughly one qualified sale a year. Any statistic built on that is a description of a handful of transactions, and we have not computed medians per year, growth rates or a “Hughes Cove appreciation rate”, because with these numbers those would be inventions dressed up as analysis.
A note on who lives here
This page used to name two of the people who live in Hughes Cove. It no longer does, and it will not.
The reason is straightforward. This is a gated community of eleven houses. Naming a resident does not add colour to a real-estate page; in an enclave this size it effectively publishes their address. That is true whether the information is accurate, whether it is already circulating elsewhere, and whether the person is well known.
Ownership records are public and anyone can look them up. Compiling them into a list of who lives behind a particular gate is a different act, and it is not one this site is going to perform. If you are buying here, your attorney will pull title on the specific property, which is the correct and lawful way to get that information.
Who Hughes Cove suits, and who it does not
It suits a buyer who wants a large gated house in Coconut Grove with bay access and is prepared to wait years for the right one. Eleven houses of 5,659 to 11,117 square feet, on a plat with its own private park, tennis court and boat basin, a few minutes from the centre of the Grove. There is very little like it in Miami and there is not going to be any more of it — the last two lots are now spoken for.
It suits badly anyone who needs to transact on a timetable. One qualified sale a year across the whole enclave means that in most years there is nothing available, and when something does come up there is no competing inventory to price it against. The January 2026 sale at $2,356 a square foot is now the reference point, and it is more than double the rate the largest house here fetched in 2022. A buyer should expect to be quoted against it; a seller should expect a buyer’s appraiser to struggle to support it.
Three things to establish before you commit:
- Exactly which folios you are buying. Six parcels in this plat are assessed at $0 because they have been absorbed into neighbouring folios, and five more are reference folios. The boundary of what you are purchasing is a survey question, not an address question.
- The homeowners’ association’s position on the common area — the 87,226 square feet of private park, roadway and boat basin, who maintains it, what it costs, and what rights come with a dock space.
- Flood elevation, insurance and seawall condition for the specific parcel. This is a low-lying bayfront plat and the answer is property by property.
Verified 26 August 2026 against the Miami-Dade County Property Appraiser record for the HUGHES COVE plat, Plat Book 144-75, folio series 01-4121-158. All 25 folios were retrieved individually. 🔴 The county address index does not resolve this community: a complete sweep of Devon Road returns 14 parcels against the county’s own total of 14, of which only three are in Hughes Cove, and a search for “Hughes Cove” returns nothing; the plat was located by folio-series probe. Sale figures are qualified, arm’s-length transactions only. ⚠️ Every price-per-square-foot figure comes from a single-parcel deed: eight of the 33 qualified home sales are flagged by the county as covering more than one parcel, and in a multi-parcel deed the county repeats the full consideration against every folio — which is why the December 2025 land sale is reported as $6,000,000 for both lots and not $12,000,000. ⚠️ Sale rows before about 2008 carry the county’s month-and-year convention and are quoted by month, never by day. ⚠️ Folio 01-4121-158-0030 is excluded from all per-square-foot figures: it is recorded as a single-family home of 253 square feet assessed at $9,683,331, which is a roll error. No appreciation rate, annual median or growth figure has been computed for this community — eleven houses producing about one qualified sale a year cannot support one, and publishing one would be an invention. ⛔ Residents are not named on this page, by policy. Re-check when the next tax roll publishes.
Hughes Cove, Coconut Grove — Frequently Asked Questions
How many homes are in Hughes Cove?
Eleven. The county records 25 folios in the Hughes Cove plat: 11 single-family homes, 2 vacant lots that still carry value, six further vacant parcels assessed at $0 because they have been absorbed into neighbouring folios, five $0 reference folios, and the 87,226 square foot common area. Older descriptions of this community, including a previous version of this page, say twelve homes.
What do homes in Hughes Cove sell for?
Eight qualified sales since 2015, median $9,525,000, ranging $3,557,100 to $14,970,000. The most recent, on 15 January 2026, closed at $14,970,000 for a 6,355 square foot house — $2,356 per square foot, the highest price ever recorded on this plat.
Has Hughes Cove appreciated?
Sharply, on the evidence available — but the evidence is eleven houses and about one sale a year, so no appreciation rate is published on this page and you should distrust anyone who publishes one. What the record does hold: the house that sold in January 2026 for $14,970,000 had sold in July 2016 for $3,557,100 — +320.8% over nine and a half years with no transfer in between.
Are there any lots left in Hughes Cove?
Two, and they are now in one owner’s hands. Both remaining vacant parcels — 8,820 and 9,828 square feet, assessed for 2026 at $2,205,000 and $2,457,000 — were conveyed in a single deed on 26 December 2025 recorded at $6,000,000. ⚠️ That is $6,000,000 for the pair: the county repeats the whole price against each folio in a multi-parcel deed. It works out at $321.75 per square foot of land.
How big are the houses in Hughes Cove?
5,659 to 11,117 square feet, on lots of 9,150 to 40,222 square feet, built between 1996 and 2008, with bedroom counts from three to nine. Their combined 2026 assessed value is $106,700,581, median $9,159,451.
Who lives in Hughes Cove?
⛔ This page does not name residents and will not. It is a gated community of eleven houses, and naming someone who lives here effectively publishes their address. Ownership records are public and your attorney will pull title on any specific property you are buying, which is the correct route to that information.
What is the common area at Hughes Cove?
A single folio of 87,226 square feet classified by the county as private park, recreation area and roadway, assessed at $0. It carries the private park, the tennis court, the internal road and the boat basin. Ask the association what it costs to maintain and what dock rights attach to the property you are considering.
