5 Florida and Bahamas Waterfront Homes and Tropical Grove Retreats

By Awais Manzoor

1 min read

Across South Florida and the Bahamas, this quintet traces a life oriented toward water, whether through harbor panoramas in Exuma, a boat-first Keys half-duplex with a 30-foot slip, or oceanfront living between the Intracoastal and the beach. Several residences also underscore a pragmatic leisure mindset, pairing personal use with clear income pathways, from a managed coastal villa program to a versatile island home with added flexibility. Even Fort Lauderdale’s high-floor, direct-sand condo invites a more personal imprint, balancing views with potential.

Within a gated community in Homestead, this BQ longan grove offers a working landscape with flexible potential. The property is currently producing and fully irrigated, using micro jets to support consistent cultivation. Fenced boundaries add definition and practicality, whether your vision is an income grove, a nursery operation, or a setting for events. The emphasis here is on land that’s already in motion—established, maintained, and oriented around agricultural productivity. At the same time, the listing notes the option for a home site, inviting the idea of daily life shaped by rows of longan trees and the rhythms of growing. It’s a rare kind of address where utility and atmosphere can comfortably share the same ground.
