Beyond the Beach: Mango Groves, Coral Castles & Five-Acre Freedom in Miami’s Redlands

Swap traffic jams for tractor paths—this week ALL-IN Miami trades neon skylines for mile-wide skies in The Redlands, the 28-thousand-resident slice of Old Florida hiding just 40 minutes south of Brickell.
We’ll cruise the Redland Tropical Trail from the 37-acre Fruit & Spice Park (500+ exotic edibles, anyone?) to the cinnamon-roll nirvana of Knaus Berry Farm, then uncork lychee wine at Schnebly Redland’s Winery & Brewery, the southern-most winery in the U.S.
Need a history twist? Cue Coral Castle, a love-letter in 1,100 tons of hand-carved limestone.
For retail therapy, we’ll haggle mangos by the crate at Redland Market Village or browse banyan-shaded boutiques at Cauley Square.
Thinking of putting down roots? County zoning demands minimum five-acre lots, with price tags from the high-$600Ks to $1.5 M+.
We’ll unpack the pros (room for horses, orchards, and that hobby vineyard) and cons (no public transit; wells over city water; your new alarm clock is a rooster).
Whether you’re plotting a day trip, scouting acreage, or just craving a slower heartbeat, hit play and breathe in Miami’s countryside—one mango grove at a time.

Condos on Ice: How Tough New Laws & Vanishing Foreign Cash Are Re-wiring Florida’s Skyline

Grab your cafecito and buckle up—this week we’re peeling back the stucco to see why Florida’s condo market just slammed on the brakes. First, foreign investors who once snapped up Miami glass boxes like they were pastelitos have retreated: international buyers now account for only 10 % of condo deals, down from 18 % a year ago, with dollar volume plunging from $5.1 B to $3.1 B.
But that’s just act one. Act two? 2025’s “Condo-Law Bombshell.” Buildings 25 years and older must undergo frequent structural inspections, and associations can no longer skimp on reserves—they must fully fund 100 % of big-ticket repairs. Monthly fees and special assessments are soaring, and some longtime owners are racing for the exits.
Layer on an affordability squeeze—insurance nightmares, property-tax spikes, and a statewide inventory pile-up—and even owners of aging units can’t find takers.
In 30 spirited minutes we’ll decode:
Why foreign money dried up—and whether it comes back.
The true cost of Florida’s safety overhaul.
Who wins (and who runs) when condos morph from cash machines to cash vacuums.
Whether you’re a hopeful buyer, a condo-board war-hero, or just market-curious, tune in for stats, stories, and a few laughs at the Sunshine State’s expense. Press play—before the next special assessment arrives!
