Versatile Direct Ocean Estate.
A 200+ foot expanse of sand and sea distinguishes this oceanfront estate from any other in Highland Beach.
Perched high atop the dune, this beach house extraordinaire exudes casual elegance in every detail. Noted Florida builder Ocean Estates LLC and renowned architect Tom Benedict deftly created this dramatic home where nearly every room is graced with a captivating ocean view. The interior design staff at Robb & Stucky added impeccable furnishings that embrace family life, yet easily support grand entertaining. Their expertise and dedication earned this home the Gold Coast Builder's Association's Prism Award for the #1 Single Family Custom Home!
Location
Highland Beach is a tiny seaside community on Boca Raton's northeast coastline. Midway between Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale, this exclusive residential village offers secluded white-sand beaches and easy access to world-class restaurants, galleries, boutiques, golf, polo and all forms of water sports. Just 4.5 miles from Boca Raton's Executive Airport and within minutes of I-95 and Florida's Turnpike, the location is ideal for full-time or seasonal living, as well as corporate retreats.
The town owns and operates its very own Reverse Osmosis Water Treatment Facility drawing from a 1,000 foot deep well in the Floridian aquifer, assuring residents an unlimited supply of pure, clear water and freedom from water restrictions, even in extreme drought conditions!
Property
This lushly landscaped one-acre estate boasts over 200 feet of direct ocean frontage. A gated dune walkover leads to the pristine private beach from the resort-style pool with waterfall, spa and personal putting green. A poolside wet bar and barbeque, plus lanais, a generous 700+/- square foot party deck and many balconies enable a relaxed fusion of indoor and outdoor activities. Twin entry gates and a privacy wall enhance the secure feel of this seaside sanctuary. The home is accessed via a 200-foot Chicago brick driveway that meanders through mature foliage.
Residence
Gloriously sited on a dune more than 22 feet above sea level, sweeping vistas of surf and sky infuse this Venetian-inspired home with tranquility. The award-winning interior design features an ocean palette and tropical artwork, creating an informal, yet refined ambiance. Total square footage of over 13,000 square feet includes a gourmet kitchen that is open to the ocean-view family room and sunrise breakfast nook, grand salon, formal dining room supported by a full butler's pantry, library, billiard pub, five bedrooms, including a second-floor master suite and ground-floor VIP suite, seven full baths, three half baths, laundry room, multiple balconies and lanais, and an air-conditioned three-car garage. The upper level is reached from an impressive black walnut staircase or Level 5 elevator. Custom cabinetry, elaborate ceilings, finely crafted wood moldings and paneling, hand-forged iron railings and full slabs of exotic marble, onyx, quartzite and granite are signature themes throughout the home.
A comprehensive home automation system controls communications, sound, temperature and security, including motion detectors, electronic gates and a closed circuit surveillance system. Built to new codes with worry-free impact doors and windows, this home can hold its own against the elements. Inclusion on Florida Power and Light's Priority Grid minimizes power interruptions.
The exceptional breadth of amenities, quality of workmanship and natural beauty found in this ocean estate make it a truly extraordinary offering.
