There are regular rich-people homes… and then there are homes that feel like they were built specifically to break the internet.
That’s the vibe at Casa MiaBella, the personal Fort Lauderdale estate of celebrity luxury developer Aldo Stark, who’s now putting his own place on the market for $9.995 million. The listing is held by Senada Adzem of Douglas Elliman, and it’s arriving with the kind of swagger that only a developer’s personal “look what I can do” home can pull off.
Because yes, this is technically a six-bedroom contemporary estate in Coral Ridge Country Club. But it’s also a house with a five-car glass garage that looks like a showroom, a dramatic bar with glowing Brazilian onyx, and interiors that lean bold, glossy, and unapologetically high-impact.
And as Stark prepares to relocate to Stone Creek Ranch — an ultra-private enclave where he’s delivered estates to A-list buyers including actor Mark Wahlberg and Russ Savage, the founder of Rockstar Energy Drink — this listing becomes less “someone’s moving” and more “South Florida real estate spectacle.”
Casa MiaBella hits the market at $9.995 million in Coral Ridge Country Club
Casa MiaBella is located in Fort Lauderdale within Coral Ridge Country Club, a neighborhood that’s long been a magnet for high-end buyers who want privacy and an established setting without going full remote estate mode.
The property is fully gated, and from the moment you see the front exterior, you can tell it’s not trying to blend in.
The architecture is sharp and clean-lined, with a wide, modern façade and a dramatic entry sequence that feels more like a boutique hotel arrival than a typical residential front door.
Aldo Stark built the home through his company, Prestige Design Homes
This isn’t a spec house. It’s not even a “nice custom build.”
It’s Stark’s own personal residence — designed and built by Prestige Design Homes, his luxury development firm. And it shows. Every room feels like a portfolio piece, the kind of space meant to stop someone mid-scroll and make them say, “Okay, WHAT is that?”
The home spans 9,253 square feet — and it’s all single-story
One thing that jumps out immediately: the scale.
The house spans 9,253 square feet of interior living space, but it does it in a single-story layout, which is actually a pretty big flex. It takes a lot of land, planning, and design confidence to create a one-level home at this size — especially one that still feels sleek and modern, not sprawling and awkward.
Six bedrooms, five bathrooms, and two powder rooms
The residence includes six bedrooms, five bathrooms, and two powder rooms—a layout that makes it suitable for a large household, frequent guests, or anyone who loves having dedicated rooms “just because.”
And given how theatrical some of the entertaining spaces are, it’s safe to assume this home was built for hosting.
A fully gated estate that’s big on privacy and security
The listing emphasizes privacy and security, which tracks with what you’d expect from a developer’s personal home.
This is the kind of place that feels protected from the street — walled, gated, and planned so the outdoor areas function like a private resort courtyard rather than a backyard you can peer into.
A dramatic modern exterior with a jaw-dropping entry
Let’s talk about that front elevation.
The exterior is all sharp geometry: flat planes, big modern volumes, and a dramatic recessed entry with warm lighting. The front door is oversized and framed by towering glass, giving the entrance a statement look even before you step inside.
It feels more like you’re arriving at a design gallery than a residence.
The five-car glass “gallery garage” is basically a private showroom
The five-car glass-enclosed garage catches the eye as soon as you approach the home.
From the outside, you can see straight into it — and instead of feeling like a utilitarian garage, it reads like a luxury showroom. The lighting is deliberate, the presentation is museum-like, and the whole thing is staged so cars aren’t “parked,” they’re displayed.
It’s the kind of feature that makes people stop and stare even if they don’t care about cars at all.
A grand salon with floor-to-ceiling glass and serious wow factor
Inside, the main living area is built around volume and glass.
The “Grand Salon” concept comes through in the photos: high ceilings, wide open sightlines, dramatic lighting fixtures, and walls that feel designed for maximum impact.
The room is anchored by a large marble fireplace wall and a huge screen, with floor-to-ceiling glass opening directly toward the outdoor entertaining space.
It has the scale of an event space but still manages to feel like a home.
A ceiling full of sculptural lighting (and it’s not subtle)
If there’s one theme inside this house, it’s this: Stark did not play it safe.
Throughout the main living areas, the ceiling design and lighting are as bold as the furniture. Sculptural, branch-like fixtures spread across the ceiling like modern art installations — which makes even a simple sitting area feel like part of a showpiece interior.
A Brazilian onyx-lit bar that glows like a jewelry case
Another headline detail: the bar.
The home includes a Brazilian onyx–lit bar — and it’s exactly as dramatic as it sounds. The bar top glows from within, giving the stone a lit-from-the-inside effect that looks like something you’d see in a high-end lounge.
It’s flashy in the best way. Completely unmissable. And honestly, it’s the kind of detail that makes sense in a developer’s personal home — because if you can do it, why wouldn’t you?
The open layout is built for entertaining — not just “hanging out”
The main living space flows straight into the bar area and kitchen, and everything about it screams “hosting house.”
This isn’t a layout that’s meant for quietly reading a book in the corner. It’s made for big nights, groups of people moving around, music playing, and the whole space feeling alive.
The kitchen centers on a massive waterfall marble island
The kitchen goes for bold scale instead of fussy detail.
It’s anchored by an oversized waterfall marble island that immediately becomes the focal point. Surrounding it: rich wood cabinetry, clean modern lines, and a commercial-style range hood that reinforces the “yes, this kitchen is serious” vibe.
Even if someone never cooks, it’s the kind of kitchen that photographs like a dream.
Walnut-toned cabinetry gives warmth to the ultra-modern look
With contemporary homes, things can sometimes skew cold.
Here, the rich walnut tones throughout the kitchen and main space bring warmth and texture, so the house doesn’t feel like a sterile showroom (even though, ironically, it does have a showroom garage).
Dining space with statement walls and a wine display that doubles as decor
Adjacent dining areas are designed to feel like part of the spectacle too, not just leftover space.
The materials lean high-contrast and dramatic, with wood and stone features, plus a wine display that’s treated like functional artwork — more of a visual centerpiece than something tucked away.
A dedicated executive office with a very specific vibe
The office is pure personality.
Instead of going minimal, it leans into a masculine, clubby energy: oversized desk, bold wall art, dramatic finishes, and lounge chairs that make the space feel like a private suite rather than a home office.
It’s not subtle. But then again… nothing here is.
A home theatre setup for real movie nights
The listing also notes a dedicated home theatre — another feature that fits the overall theme of the house being built as a private entertainment compound.
A private fitness studio for workouts without leaving the property
A dedicated fitness studio is included as well, continuing the “everything you need is already here” approach.
It’s the kind of feature buyers expect at this level, but it also makes sense structurally since the home leans resort-like: gym, theatre, office, outdoor entertaining — everything on-site.
Backyard resort setup with fire features and an elevated spa
Outside, the property turns into a full resort environment.
The pool is framed by fire features and sculptural water elements, with an elevated spa creating a focal point on its own. In the photos, the backyard reads like a private day club (minus the random strangers).
Sculptural fountains add to the “built to impress” outdoor design
This isn’t a basic patio-and-pool situation. There are sculptural fountains and clean-lined water features integrated throughout the pool zone, reinforcing that the outdoor spaces were designed with the same “statement first” mindset as the interiors.
Italian cypress and palms shape the backyard like a private courtyard
A big part of what makes the backyard work visually is the landscaping.
Italian cypress trees add height and structure, while palms soften the look and give it the South Florida vibe everyone expects — but in a polished, planned way that feels like a high-end courtyard rather than a casual yard.
Pergolas create separate outdoor hangout zones (and one has retractable screens)
The outdoor space includes multiple pergolas, which helps the backyard feel like it has different zones instead of one giant open area.
One pergola includes retractable screens and houses the summer kitchen and sit-down bar—so you can be outdoors without feeling fully exposed to bugs, weather, or the occasional chaotic Florida breeze.
A fully outfitted summer kitchen built for hosting
The outdoor kitchen is set up for real entertaining, not just “throw a couple burgers on the grill.”
With a sit-down bar and dedicated structure around it, it functions like an outdoor restaurant zone—perfect for hosting big groups without everyone being crammed indoors.
The lot spans 21,036 square feet
The property sits on a 21,036-square-foot lot, giving the home room to breathe — especially important for a single-story layout of this size, where you need square footage not just for the house but for the lifestyle spaces around it.
Listed with the star agent that sold Stark’s most ambitious projects (including Mark Wahlberg’s new mansion)
The listing agent, Senada Adzem of Douglas Elliman, is by no means at her first collaboration with the luxury developer.
Adzem sold two of Aldo Stark’s megamansion projects in Stone Creek Ranch, the elite Delray Beach community where Aldo is relocating (for a hefty $110 million combined), following by another $37 million mansion sold to actor Mark Wahlberg.
Casa MiaBella is listed with Senada Adzem for $9.995 million, positioned as a rare opportunity for buyers who want a high-profile modern estate that’s already been “done” at a level most people can’t (or don’t want to) replicate.
The bigger picture: a developer’s personal home is always a different category of listing
There’s something uniquely compelling about a developer selling their own residence.
Because unlike many luxury listings — where the owner simply hired the right team and picked finishes—this kind of home tends to be personal. It’s a showcase. A calling card. A loud statement piece. And Casa MiaBella definitely falls into that category.
It’s bold, flashy, designed to impress, and absolutely bonkers in the way that makes readers click, stare at photos for ten minutes, and immediately send the link to a friend with, “You need to see this.”
