A $65M Masterpiece: Capturing Miami Beach’s Ultimate Bayfront Mansion
At 1 OAK Studios, we’ve photographed some of the most exclusive properties in Miami, but this Venetian Islands mansion was truly on another level. When we got the call to shoot this $65 million estate owned by tech investor Keith Rabois and Trump appointee Jacob Helberg we knew we had to go all in.
With 15,000 square feet of waterfront luxury, this home is one of the most impressive we’ve captured this year. It’s massive, loaded with detail, and designed to make a statement at every turn. From the 4-story layout to the stunning infinity-edge pool, this property was built for grandeur.
Behind the Scenes: The 1 OAK Approach to Capturing Luxury
A home of this scale demanded a strategic approach. We sent two photographers to ensure we could fully capture the estate’s scale without running into each other. Starting early in the morning, we worked methodically, focusing on the intricate architectural elements and the breathtaking bayfront views.
Standout Features That Stole the Show
💎 The “Library” Office & Meeting Room – Hands down, my personal favorite space. It features a massive floor-to-ceiling aquarium (5,600 gallons!) imported from Japan, plus wall-to-wall bookshelves. The aquarium is so large that it actually requires a scuba diver to maintain it—an insane level of detail that makes this home unforgettable.
💎 Grand Staircase & Double-Height Living Area – At the heart of the mansion is a dramatic central space with soaring ceilings and an eye-catching light fixture. The craftsmanship here is next level, creating a true “wow” moment when you walk in.
💎 Rooftop & Spa-Like Primary Suite – The rooftop deck is massive, complete with a hot tub and incredible Miami skyline views. The primary bedroom, equally impressive, feels like a five-star resort with its spa-inspired bathroom and custom finishes.
💎 Entertainment Spaces Galore – From multiple family rooms to a gourmet open kitchen with twin glass-enclosed wine cellars, this home was designed for high-end entertaining. Every detail, from the calfskin wall paneling to the custom-cut Erwin Hauer sculptures, exudes luxury.
