The Cisneros family of Venezuela sold their Gables Estates property for $23 million, The Real Deal has learned.

555 Enterprises LLC, which is controlled by the Cisneros Corporation, sold the 3-acre property at 555 Leucadendra Drive, sources said. The buyer is unknown.

The third-generation family-owned company, with an office in Coral Gables, has its hands in a number of industries, including media, telecommunications, real estate and beer. The family owns Cervecería Regional, the second largest brewery in Venezuela, which ranked in the top 30 worldwide for its production. Brothers Eduardo, Andrés and Henrique Cisneros currently run the family business, according to Cisneros Corporation’s website.

Boschetti said the buyer plans to demolish the existing two-story, 10,220-square-foot mansion and build a new home. The corner lot has more than 750 feet of water frontage that fits up to a 150-foot yacht and currently includes a pool, tennis court and private beach

Records show the Cisneros LLC paid $17.2 million for the home in 2015. Former Serta International chairman and CEO E. Richard Yulman sold the property at the time.

In May, the estate at 41 Arvida Parkway – once listed for $68 million – sold at auction for $25.5 million.
