Extravagant Florida mansion located near Gisele Bündchen’s property asks $24M — and could break an area record
Supermodel Gisele Bündchen’s $9.1 million purchase last year of a 7.5-acre estate in Southwest Ranches, the Florida equestrian hotspot about 30 miles from Miami, now seems prescient.
There, a new construction home has hit the market for $24 million — and it’s poised to break area records if it sells at, or even near, that price.
The modern residence, at 17250 SW 52nd Court, is an extravagant 25,609 square feet. It features seven bedrooms and sits on 4 acres. Built in 2022 and move-in ready last year, the home is at the end of a cul-de-sac and bordered by the 172nd Avenue canal.
Its crown jewel is a 19,000-square-foot finished rooftop space for entertaining — and displaying art.
The dwelling’s design includes 187 impact-resistant glass window panels and doors framed in silver aluminum. It comes with a motorized aluminum gate, security, and an infinity-loop driveway lined with green turf and palms.
Other chic touches include floor-to-ceiling windows, plus a wine display room that holds up to 264 bottles. Some areas even include double- and triple-height ceilings, such as the main entrance, which is more than 25 feet high. There are also two kitchens, home offices, a gym, indoor and outdoor pools — and two separate four-car garages.
Three steel staircases lead to the gym, bedrooms and the roof.
Outside, along with the infinity-edged pool and a kids’ pool on a 6,722-square-foot tiled deck, are landscaped gardens and tall aged trees.
The seller, Javier Muniain, president and CEO of Surfernet Corp., is relocating to Europe.
The listing broker is Kimberly Knausz of ONE Sotheby’s International Realty.

4-star DE Hilson latest to decommit from FSU
Javion Hilson, ESPN’s No. 71 overall prospect in the 2025 cycle, has decommitted from Florida State with plans to make a final commitment closer to the Dec. 4 early signing period, the four-star defensive end announced via social media Sunday afternoon.
Hilson had been committed to the Seminoles since Jan. 12 and was the second-ranked member of Mike Norvell’s 2025 class, per ESPN’s rankings. His decommitment comes amid Florida State’s 0-2 start to the 2024 season and marks the second departure from the program’s incoming class this weekend after four-star defensive tackle Myron Charles (No. 166 in the ESPN 300) flipped to Texas on Saturday.
“After careful consideration, I have decided to decommit from Florida State and reopen my recruitment,” Hilson said in his announcement. “I will be making my final decision in December. Thank you to everyone at FSU for their support.”
Hilson is a star pass rusher at Florida’s Cocoa High School, where he logged 97 total tackles and 14 sacks while leading the program to a second consecutive Class 2S title as a junior last fall. The 6-foot-5, 235-pound defender is ESPN’s No. 11 defensive end and the 11th-ranked prospect from the state of Florida in the 2025 class.
Hilson took official visits to Florida, Texas and UCF this spring before a pair of trips to Florida State from June 21 to July 27.
Florida State’s 2025 class came in at No. 18 in ESPN’s latest rankings for the cycle before Hilson and Charles pulled their pledges. The Seminoles did gain a recruiting boost in the 2026 class earlier this week when former Syracuse safety commit Izayia Williams, ESPN’s No. 39 prospect in 2026, announced his pledge to Florida State following a Labor Day visit with the program.
The Seminoles were off Saturday and will host Memphis at Doak Campbell Stadium in Week 3.

Dolphins star Tyreek Hill detained by police entering stadium but will play in Week 1
Tyreek Hill was detained by police entering Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday morning ahead of the Miami Dolphins’ Week 1 game.
The NFL’s leading wide receiver from last season has since been released and will be available for the game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, the team confirmed in a statement. The Dolphins said that several teammates saw the incident and stopped to support Hill.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter shared a video of the incident, with Hill being handcuffed on the ground while surrounded by multiple officers.
ESPN’s Jeff Darlington reported that Hill was cited for reckless driving. He then got into a verbal altercation with the police, according to Darlington, and the officer then chose to handcuff Hill.
Hill is available to play in the team’s season opener, which kicks off at 1 p.m. ET in Miami. The 30-year-old wide receiver is entering his third season with the Dolphins after signing a restructured contract with $65 million guaranteed last month.

Florida Republican, Democrat team up to tackle student loan debt as Biden-Harris forgiveness bids derail
A seemingly unlikely duo is pushing for Congress to do something about ballooning college debt that’s plaguing millions of Americans.
Reps. Jared Moskowitz, D-Fla., and Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., introduced a bill to cap federal student loan interest at 3% this week, and Luna told Fox News Digital that she’s already gearing up to lobby Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., for a House-wide vote.
“I actually fully anticipate having that conversation in person when we return next week,” Luna said.

She wants Johnson to fast-track the bill under a procedure known as “suspension of the rules,” which allows legislation to bypass the normal committee process in exchange for raising the threshold for passage from a simple majority to two-thirds – which both Luna and Moskowitz anticipated the bill would see.
“I think this would pass if you put this to the floor. In fact, if you bypass committee, I think this would probably get two-thirds. I mean, I think it would pass overwhelmingly,” Moskowitz told Fox News Digital.
Luna similarly said, “I think it would be really hard for any member to vote against it.”
She also suggested creating a discharge petition for the bill – a measure that would force a piece of legislation up for a vote if the petition got a majority of House lawmakers’ signatures.

Discharge petitions rarely, if ever, succeed in forcing a House-wide vote themselves, but Luna said that just the creation of one could be enough to pressure leadership into action.
“I talk to people that are just like, ‘I am literally paying off loans from 15, 20 years ago, and because the interest rate is so high, we’re not even able to make a dent,” Luna said. “It’s turning Americans into indentured servants.”
It comes after the Biden-Harris administration’s multiple attempts at mass student loan forgiveness keep getting blocked by GOP-led states and even the conservative-leaning Supreme Court. President Biden has managed to implement more narrowly targeted forgiveness measures, however.
And while Luna and Moskowitz’s opinions on Biden’s initiative differ, both said they have heard people on both sides of the aisle express a need for reform to the student debt system.
“Quite frankly, we both, we both were working on this issue in a silo, and then in a conversation one day, we both brought it up,” Moskowitz said of how their partnership on the issue came about.
KAMALA HARRIS HAS YET TO DO FORMAL PRESS CONFERENCE SINCE EMERGING AS DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE
“Everybody knows it’s a problem. . . . Let’s start here, where we have some common ground, where people who can’t afford an education can go get a loan, but they won’t be saddled with debt for the rest of their lives.”
Both also dismissed concerns about giving each other’s side a win during the hyper-partisan environment of an election year.
“I can’t be concerned about that, because at the end of the day, if we’re going to make progress for the American family, I’m not interested in this credit nonsense,” Moskowitz said. “If I’m out there criticizing Republicans who wanted to deny Joe Biden a win on something, I can’t then partake in that behavior myself, right?”
Luna said, “Ultimately, we as a country will take a win.”

“I know that we’re in an election year, and I will say that I wish, and I hope that [Democrats] will look at this legislation not like it’s being drawn from, and passed by, the Republican body, but that, you know, it’s something that would be a net positive,” she said.
At of the end of 2023, roughly 43 million Americans shared the burden of some $1.6 trillion student loan debt in the country, according to federal data.
Nearly 95% of that debt is in federal loans, according to the Education Data Initiative, which also cited the average federal student loan interest rate as 5.99%.
