Some properties feel like small worlds of their own, and this sprawling 13-bedroom compound in Windsor, Vero Beach sits firmly in that category.
Set on nearly 1.7 acres within the private oceanfront community, the estate belongs to Frank Brosens — co-founder of Taconic Capital Advisors and former Goldman Sachs partner — and arrives as one of the largest and most complete legacy properties ever offered inside Windsor.
Listed for $13,500,000 with Michael Merrill and Johnny DelPrete of The Exclusive Group at Douglas Elliman, the residence spans more than 13,300 square feet of air-conditioned living space, divided between a main house and four architecturally cohesive guest cottages.
With 13 bedrooms, 14 full baths, 3 half baths, and a layout engineered for multigenerational living, the estate functions as an elegant retreat designed to welcome extended family, friends, and guests with effortless privacy.
A private compound within one of Florida’s most design-focused communities
Windsor is known for its architectural rigor and resort-level lifestyle — a self-contained village planned by Andrés Duany and Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk, leaders of the New Urbanism movement.
Homes here follow a British West Indies vocabulary that emphasizes indoor-outdoor living, breezy cross-ventilation, and sightlines that frame lush nature.
This estate extends that ethos at a remarkable scale.
With a main residence and guest cottage positioned around a central courtyard
The main residence and guest cottages are positioned around a central courtyard anchored by a 53-foot lap pool, shaded loggias, and manicured green spaces that encourage wandering rather than moving from point A to point B.
Every structure is connected through covered walkways and porches, creating a sense of flow while preserving privacy for each living space.
Designed by Merrill, Pastor & Colgan as Windsor’s largest country estate
Built in 2014, the residence was conceived by noted firm Merrill, Pastor & Colgan as a true family compound — not a home with add-ons, but a fully planned estate where each building plays a defined role.
The architecture places equal emphasis on symmetry, natural light, and understated luxury. Stucco cladding, shingle roofing, high ceilings, and walls of French doors form a cohesive language that blends seamlessly with Windsor’s landscape.
Indoor rooms spill outward to courtyards and breezeways, making the home feel both expansive and intimate depending on how the spaces are used.
A great room designed for gatherings
Inside the main house, the great room serves as the visual and social anchor. Tall windows line the walls, inviting natural light and wide views of the golf course and gardens. Soft, neutral interiors meet pops of color in art and textiles — a playful contrast to the restrained architectural envelope.
The scale is generous, but the atmosphere reads relaxed and breezy, echoing the estate’s role as a multigenerational retreat rather than a formal showpiece.
A kitchen crafted for real cooking and large-scale hosting
Just beyond the great room, the kitchen is equipped for entertaining at scale. Stainless appliances, a professional-grade hood, and expansive prep areas support everything from family dinners to holiday gatherings.
Bright touches — including bold yellow pendant lights — add a layer of personality, highlighting a theme repeated throughout the estate: serious architecture paired with cheerful, unfussy interior design.
A dining room that doubles as a celebration space
The dining room easily accommodates a long table designed for large groups. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame garden views and flood the space with light.
Despite its capacity, the room feels approachable, thanks to woven dining chairs and simple finishes that embrace the community’s breezy, coastal aesthetic.
A second living pavilion with playful, colorful energy
A separate living pavilion functions as a family lounge, library, and game space. Pendant lanterns cluster playfully from the ceiling, while built-in shelves house books, puzzles, and games — an architectural wink to the property’s multigenerational purpose.
Bright accents, soft neutrals warm up the grand room
Soft neutral sofas meet bright accent chairs and rugs, creating an inviting space designed for reading, relaxing, and informal gathering.
A billiards lounge built for all-ages fun
One of the most unexpectedly joyful spaces on the property is the billiards lounge, a bright room lined with French doors and a wall of built-in bench seating in a bold shade of blue.
With a full-size pool table anchoring the space
Framed sports memorabilia adds personality, while a full-size pool table anchors the space. It’s the kind of room that can shift from family hangout to after-dinner tournament without missing a beat.
Windows open up to golf course view
Set directly on Windsor’s golf landscape, the property benefits from expansive views of greens, lakes, and mature trees.
The orientation gives many rooms a sense of horizon and openness, creating a calm, almost pastoral atmosphere unusual for an estate of this size.
There’s also a sunlit ping pong pavilion
Just off the courtyard, a dedicated ping pong room brings a breezy, clubhouse energy to the estate. Wrapped in windows and finished with aqua-toned flooring, the space feels almost like an indoor cabana.
It’s large enough for a regulation table and spectator seating, and close enough to the pool that games spill naturally between the two.
And bright, breezy lounges designed for downtime
Across the compound, casual lounges double as flexible gathering spots, with natural light pouring through multiple sets of French doors.
Soft neutrals, woven seating, and pops of color echo the home’s playful design palette, allowing each structure to stand on its own while still feeling part of a cohesive whole.
Four guest cottages designed for privacy and autonomy
The estate’s four detached guest cottages — two with two bedrooms, two with three bedrooms — allow extended visitors to settle in comfortably.
Each cottage includes private bathrooms, sitting areas, and outdoor connections, giving guests the autonomy of their own residence within the compound.
It’s a rare setup in residential design, even among luxury estates, making the property uniquely suited for long-term family stays or hosting multiple generations simultaneously.
A 53-foot pool at the center of the compound
The courtyard pool occupies pride of place between the main house and guest cottages.
Its linear form echoes the property’s clean architectural geometry, while surrounding sunloungers and loggias create numerous micro-environments: shaded lounging, open sunbathing, poolside dining, or quiet morning coffee.
Envisioned as a family “village”
The estate’s overall design leans into the idea of a family “village,” where activities happen simultaneously across multiple structures without ever feeling crowded.
The integration of pool, lawn, and gardens gives the courtyard an intimate resort feel — private, but with sightlines that stretch across Windsor’s golf course.
A property designed for recreation, relaxation, and connection
Beyond the formal rooms and cottages, the estate hides a number of recreation-friendly spaces:
- A billiards room
- A ping pong room
- Multiple lounging pavilions
- Deep covered porches for shaded outdoor living
Located within one of the country’s most distinctive private communities
Windsor’s amenities enhance the lifestyle that properties like this support.
Residents enjoy access to a Robert Trent Jones Jr. golf course, certified as an Audubon sanctuary; an oceanfront Beach Club; tennis and equestrian facilities; a Village Centre modeled after European pedestrian squares; and curated cultural programming, wellness events, and seasonal celebrations.
Windsor’s combination of design discipline and community amenities makes it one of the rare master-planned environments where architecture, landscape, and lifestyle truly work as one.
A rare multigenerational estate with enduring architectural character
With 13 bedrooms, 17 bathrooms, and nearly 1.7 acres, this Windsor compound stands as the community’s largest — and one of its most thoughtfully designed.
Every structure, detail, and outdoor space serves a purpose, creating an estate that balances privacy and togetherness in equal measure.
