About the Home

Discover a coastal paradise: an exquisite gated oceanfront estate that epitomizes luxury living on South Florida's pristine shores.

This remarkable property boasts 9 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, encompassing over 6,000 square feet of total living area (4,838 SF under air). Meticulously designed for discerning tastes, the estate features all the essential amenities of high-end living, including a private elevator, a heated pool and spa, and more, all without the burden of HOA fees. Safety and durability are ensured through impact windows and doors throughout, providing peace of mind during Florida's hurricane season. The crown jewel of this property is its private deeded oceanfront access, offering residents their own slice of Atlantic paradise.

Versatility is key in this luxurious home. The ground floor, currently configured as additional living quarters, can be converted back to a spacious 3-car garage at the seller's expense, adapting to future needs. Whether you're seeking a permanent home, a vacation retreat, or an income-generating property, this gated oceanfront estate presents an unparalleled opportunity in one of South Florida's most sought-after locations, promising a lifestyle of comfort, luxury, and endless ocean views.

The home can serve as your official Florida-based tax domicile/residence, seasonal vacation home, weekly vacation rental, or as a hybrid of all three.

Considering this home as an investment property? Or planning to rent it out when you are not present? Good news: The current owner lists the property on AirBnB, Vrbo and other rental platforms, where gross receipts totaled over $430,000 for the 2024 calendar year. (Historical reports & supporting docs available upon request.) Future reservations can convey with the home, at the buyer's option. (If the buyer does not elect this option, future tenants will be re-booked at other homes through the vacation-rental property management company.)

As one of the most successful vacation rentals in the entire state, the home is extremely popular and therefore often booked. Viewings are by appointment only with the listing agent. Please do not disturb occupants (vacation-rental guests or longer-term tenants).

All visitors to the home must have an advance appointment booked with the listing agent. All unannounced visitors are considered trespassers; tenants are urged to report unscheduled visitors to the police as trespassers immediately upon their arrival.

The home has a motivated seller: The property is owned by a SE Florida professional real-estate firm that owns 26 oceanfront homes and "ocean-to-river" residential properties located on Florida's Treasure Coast, near Stuart FL. Located in Martin County FL, less than an hour north of legendary Palm Beach and the West Palm Beach International Airport, Stuart FL is the current winner of USA Today's "America's Best Small Coastal Town" designation (2024 #1 national award winner).

The owner has made the strategic decision to liquidate four of the firm's "outlier" oceanfront homes — homes which lie a few miles outside the firm's core focus area located on the far southern tip of South Hutchinson Island (a 3-mile-long neighborhood near the famous Bathtub Reef Beach). The owner intends to use the funds from these sales towards additional acquisition opportunities in the Bathtub Beach community.

Consequently, each of the four homes — including "Chateau de la Mer" — are competitively priced to sell (in most scenarios below appraised value) and are further powered by lucrative broker incentives. Therefore, this home will not be on the market for very long. This presents a brief window into a rare value opportunity: A one-time chance for those who dream of buying, owning or living in an oceanfront home at a reasonable price. (A price at which in most cases is below appraised value.)
