Description

A rare opportunity to own one of the Treasure Coast's most remarkable waterfront estates. Nestled beneath majestic oaks & tropical landscaping, this exceptional 3.15-acre property offers 225' of direct Indian River frontage & a lifestyle that's becoming rare. The main house blends timeless Old Florida charm with updates, including a renovated kitchen, spacious living areas, wood-burning fireplace, & a screened porch overlooking the river. A guest house provides outstanding flexibility for family, guests, or rental opportunities. The private dock extends approximately 455' into the Intracoastal with no fixed bridges, making boating & fishing effortless. Whether enjoyed today or transformed into a legacy estate, this extraordinary property offers privacy, beauty, and endless possibilities! Beyond its breathtaking waterfront setting, this remarkable estate has been thoughtfully updated with an emphasis on quality construction, long-term durability, and effortless Florida living. - The main residence showcases a level of craftsmanship seldom found today, featuring solid concrete interior walls that provide exceptional structural integrity, impressive sound insulation, and the lasting strength that discerning buyers appreciate. Complete impact-rated windows complement the home's construction, while a standing seam metal roof (2019) offers years of dependable performance and peace of mind. Updated drain fields serve both the main residence and guest house, reflecting the care and investment that have gone into maintaining this exceptional property. - Designed for both entertaining and everyday living, the main home's beautifully updated kitchen features custom cabinetry, granite counter tops, generous workspace, quality stainless steel appliances, and a functional layout that opens naturally to the dining and living areas. Whether preparing an intimate dinner or hosting family and friends, the kitchen serves as the heart of the home. - The detached guest house is a true residence of its own—not simply additional accommodations. Complete with its own updated kitchen, spacious living area, bedrooms, baths, and private amenities, it offers exceptional flexibility for extended family, guests, a caretaker, a private office, or potential income opportunities. - Further enhancing the estate's independence are a private well—along with separate septic systems, allowing each residence to function independently. - One of the home's most captivating spaces is the expansive screened river porch. Framed by panoramic views of the Indian River, it is a place where mornings begin with coffee and spectacular sunrises, afternoons are filled with gentle river breezes, and evenings end with dolphins, manatees, and boats quietly passing by. - Outside, approximately 225 feet of direct Indian River frontage unfolds across more than 3.15 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds. A private dock extending approximately 455 feet into the Intracoastal Waterway, complete with no fixed bridges, places world-class boating, fishing, waterfront dining, and the Atlantic Ocean just beyond your backyard. - Properties of this caliber are becoming increasingly rare. The combination of expansive acreage, extensive waterfront, quality construction, modern infrastructure, a fully equipped guest residence, and an irreplaceable location creates something that cannot simply be built again. - This is more than an exceptional waterfront property—it is a legacy estate, thoughtfully maintained and ready for its next chapter.

Navigation note: Navigation routes show the shortest mapped path to open water. A vessel taller than the binding bridge clearance may still reach open water via a longer alternate route that we don't currently map. Verify navigability with a local captain or surveyor before relying on it.
