Alonzo Mourning sold his spectacular bayfront home at 33 Arvida Parkway in Gables Estates for $11,350,000 cash.

The name of the buyer – represented by Audrey Ross of EWM Realty International – wasn’t immediately disclosed.

The listing agent, Lourdes Alatriste of Engel & Voelkers Real Estate, said the buyer is a wealthy Latin local.

Mourning, the former Miami Heat star whose number 33 jersey was retired afer he left, took a $1.4 million loss on the 8-bedroom, 8/1/2-bath mansion that he and his wife bought during the boom in November 2005.

The 13,086 square foot home, designed by Ramon Pacheco & Associates, sits on a 35,389-square-foot lot on Biscayne Bay.

According to Ross, the smart house offers a rare combination of features that make it suitable for luxury entertaining and intimate family life. It includes a chef’s kitchen, a spa and a private dock.

The home was listed for sale in January, said Alatriste. An earlier contract fell through, she said. The sale was closed on Oct. 11.

“The house is absolutely beautiful,’’ said Alatriste. “The view is breathtaking.’’
