Ivanka Trump has seemingly confirmed her next major political move after purchasing a $30 million ($A40m) lot on a high-security island known as the “Billionaire’s Bunker”.

With Donald Trump’s presidency coming to an end, it seems Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner are looking for a change of scenery, with the couple reportedly buying a waterfront lot on Indian Creek Island in Miami, Florida.

The pair reportedly purchased Lot 4, which was put up for sale by singer Julio Iglesias for $31.8 million ($A42.7m), according to Page Six.

Many seem to believe the purchase may be centred around Ivanka’s plan for when her father leaves the White House.

A source who has been working with the Trump family told CNN part of the reason Ivanka was drawn to Florida was for the political opportunities.

“Ivanka definitely has political ambitions, no question about it,” the source said.

“She wants to run for something, but that still needs to be figured out.”

There is still speculation about what Ivanka’s move might be, with reports surfacing last week that the 39-year-old was considering running for Florida governor.

There is also a suggestion that she might run against senior Florida senator Marco Rubio when he is up for re-election in 2022.

“Assuming she’s not interested in a low-profile political office, that would leave the United States Senate as a possibility,” Adam C. Smith, former Tampa Bay Times political editor and now consultant with Mercury Public Affairs told CNN.

“Marco Rubio is up for re-election in 2022 and is expected to run again. But I wouldn’t think Rubio would deter her if she wanted to run.

“The last time Marco Rubio ran against a Trump in Florida, in the 2016 presidential primary, Rubio was crushed by 19 percentage points.”

However, it may be some time before Ivanka and her family can move to Florida, as they will have to build a house on their new lot first.

The property boasts 1.84 acres and sits inside the high-security, gated island. The 29 residents on the island are protected by a 13-man police force.

Taxes for the luxury lot are $472,764 ($A634,625) a year, with the sale of the property reportedly closing on December 17.

The couple have reportedly purchased Lot 4 on the high-security island.

“The Kushners have been looking to purchase property in Florida for quite some time, and will also maintain their home in New York,” a source familiar with the deal told Page Six.

Indian Creek Island is home to the rich and famous, with some past and present residents including billionaire Carl Icahn, former Philadelphia Eagles owner Norman Braman, former Miami Dolphins coach Don Shula, supermodel Adriana Lima, hedge funder Eddie Lampert and billionaire Jeff Soffer.

According to CNN, Ivanka has adopted a more aggressive political stance a she weighs her options for a future political run.

“(She has) gone full MAGA,” an anonymous source told the broadcaster.

The publication claimed Ivanka’s decision to begin “speaking out more” and stop “sitting back and letting people say what they want and distort facts” comes with the blessing of her father.

“Of all the children, Trump is focused on her running,” the source said.

“He sees Ivanka as the heir apparent.”

However, another source claimed the speculation was premature even though she had not “closed the door” on a political run.

“Right now, all she cares about is her policy initiatives, accomplishing what she can on behalf of the administration in the weeks that remain, and looking out for her three young children,” they said.
