A Florida Keys home featured in Netflix’s drama “Bloodline” has come onto the market for $2.25 million. The Plantation Key property served as the fictional residence of Kevin and Belle Rayburn, characters played by Norbert Leo Butz and Katie Finneran. The listing brings a recognizable piece of the series’ Florida setting into the real estate spotlight.
Key takeaways
- The three-bedroom, three-bathroom home is located on Plantation Key and measures 2,796 square feet.
- It is listed for $2.25 million; property records show it sold for $100,000 in 2017.
- The home appeared in “Bloodline,” which filmed at locations across the Florida Keys.
The property combines the show’s on-screen history with features aimed at buyers seeking a Keys home, including an upgraded kitchen and boating access nearby.
Inside the Plantation Key property
Built in 1958, the house has three bedrooms and three bathrooms across 2,796 square feet. Its kitchen includes appliances by Wolf, Sub-Zero and Miele. The listing also notes access to a nearby boat ramp and dockage.
According to property records cited in the report, the home last sold for $100,000 in late September 2017, shortly after Hurricane Irma caused extensive damage across the Florida Keys. It is now asking $2.25 million. Dani Hall and Rhonda L. Simonds-Brewer of American Caribbean Real Estate and Christie’s International Real Estate are the listing agents.
The home’s role in ‘Bloodline’
The residence represented the fictional home of Kevin and Belle Rayburn in the Netflix series. “Bloodline” debuted in 2015 and used settings throughout the Keys, including Islamorada, Key Largo and Long Key.
Another notable filming site was the Rayburn hotel, which also stood in for the home of Sally Rayburn, played by Sissy Spacek. That location is at The Blue Charlotte House at The Moorings resort in Islamorada.
A costly production set in the Keys
The series received about $8 million in state tax credits for its first season through Florida’s former entertainment incentive program. Production was nevertheless expensive: the report put costs at nearly $8 million per episode, citing the challenges of filming in a remote location.
The show ended after three seasons. The report attributed its cancellation to a combination of high production costs, falling ratings and the loss of additional tax incentives. The Plantation Key listing offers a tangible connection to a series that made the Florida Keys central to its story and visual identity.
