Down a 1.25-mile private gated drive along SE Bridge Road, this rare compound in Hobe Sound is conceived as a fully self-contained environment where access, circulation, and use can be managed across distinct operational zones. The setting is defined by exceptional buffer and quiet: the estate backs to approximately 3,600 acres of privately held land, creating long-term privacy that’s increasingly difficult to find in coastal South Florida. Professionally laser-leveled grounds and engineered drainage infrastructure support stability and high usability across the entire site, with infrastructure positioned to accommodate multiple lifestyle and operational uses simultaneously without overlap. Recreational systems are extensive, including a 400-yard long-range shooting facility, a separate short-range range, a sporting clays course, an Olympic-grade trap field, and an on-site fitness and training facility—an uncommon blend of scale, control, and everyday capability.
