FOURFILLIES FARM

Smathers Four Fillies Farm, a residential community of 31 single-family homes for University of Miami faculty, administrators, and staff, is located in the Village of Pinecrest... The neighborhood, with a Home Owners Association (HOA) to maintain the common areas, is built on 11 acres in the center of the 32-acre Smathers estate that was donated to the University by philanthropist, alumnus, and longtime trustee Frank Smathers Jr. He and his wife MaryBelle bought the lush estate in 1967, added horse stables and riding trails (now walking trails), and named it in honor of their four daughters (thus the "four fillies"). The remaining 21 acres of the estate's rare plant life, which includes extensive fruit groves and a natural hammock, has been left intact and is being maintained and protected by Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden... Within Four Fillies, there is a walking trail, clubhouse with a pool and hot tub, playground, tennis court, and workout room. Paved bike and jogging trails..
