Maybe you have or haven’t read my post on the Vizcaya Museum and Garden in Miami. In it I spoke about this grand piece of history located in South Miami and about the former owner James Deering. In this post I will be talking about the Deering Estate owned by the brother of James, Charles Deering.

A Little Background

The Deering Estate is another great place for history buffs to visit. It is located in the Cutler Bay area of Miami, just about 12 miles south of the Vizcaya Museum. The Deering Estate was the home of Charles Deering, who was a businessman, artist, and philanthropist. Like James, Charles made his winter home in Miami and was also a part of the family’s business as Chairman of the Board.

On the Estate

Upon entering the Estate my first thought was, this is not what I was expecting. We were greeted by a lot of vegetation once we entered through those large wooden gates. On one side you will see the mango orchard, it’s a part of the land where you can find a large amount of mango trees. At the time we went there were no mangoes or blossoms on the trees. Hmmm
