Ex-Formula One driver lists $7M condo on Fisher Island
Private area contains club, spa, restaurants and its own ZIP code
Former Formula One and IndyCar race-car driver Enrique Bernoldi has listed his 3,793-square-foot condominium on Miami Beach’s Fisher Island for $7.8 million.
The unit is at 7042 Fisher Island Drive, within the luxury condo building Palazzo Del Sol. Fisher Island is considered one of the most exclusive islands in the world, with its own private club, spa, tennis and golf, a beach club, seven restaurants, gourmet market, private school, two deep-water marinas — and even its own ZIP code (33109), recently ranked by Bloomberg as America’s richest ZIP code.
Some of the world’s wealthiest individuals, as well as celebrities, own homes on the island, which offers privacy and security since it’s located off the southern tip of Miami Beach and accessible only by ferry, helicopter or private boat.
“I don’t think there’s any condo development that is comparable to Fisher Island,” said Jill Eber, the listing agent, part of “The Jills” team at Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate, along with partner Jill Hertzberg. “You’re on over 200 acres, and you have every possible amenity. It’s really an oasis, but you’re just a short ferry ride away from the best restaurants on
South Beach.”
Completed in 2016, the
10-story Palazzo Del Sol has
43 units. Bernoldi’s condominium offers three bedrooms, three full and one half bathrooms and a private elevator. The gourmet kitchen boasts custom Boffi cabinetry, a top-of-the-line Gaggenau cooktop, double ovens, a wine chiller, Sub-Zero refrigerator and a butler’s pantry. Other features include a spacious family/media room, two terraces and views of Miami Beach and Fisher Island.
According to public records, Bernoldi and his wife, Luisa Bernoldi, purchased the unit new in September
2017 for $6.5 million. They are selling it just a year later because they are relocating, Eber said.
In addition to the amenities offered on Fisher Island, Palazzo Del Sol itself has a fitness center and cardio room designed by The Wright Fit, private massage Bernoldi and his wife Luisa purchased the unit new in September 2017 for $6.5 million.

“Fisher Island, home to many celebrities, business moguls, sports figures and more, is one of the most exclusive residential communities in the world,” Hertzberg said. “7042 Fisher Island Drive is a luxury buyer’s dream.”
