The chef’s kitchen is tailored for daily ease, with ceiling-height cabinetry, a large quartz island, a walk-in pantry with wood shelving, and GE Monogram appliances including a 48-inch range and refrigerator. Living and dining areas center on a custom fireplace and TV feature wall, complemented by a built-in illuminated wine display and electric blinds.

Set on 31.5 acres in Fort Pierce, this AG-5 zoned property blends residential comfort with space to live a more hands-on, outdoor lifestyle. Currently used as a motocross Airbnb, it’s designed for days that revolve around open land and room for equipment, animals, and hobbies. The home includes 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and a 1-car garage, with a heated pool for unwinding after time outside. An additional garage in the back offers dedicated storage for “toys” and gear, keeping the main living areas clear and calm. The listing notes many upgrades throughout the property, adding to its sense of thoughtful improvement. With tenant occupancy and access managed through the owner or agent, it’s a setting that feels expansive, practical, and intentionally equipped for active living.

Inside, soaring ceilings and an open-concept plan draw the eye to expansive Intracoastal Waterway views, with panoramas stretching for miles. A beautifully appointed gourmet kitchen with premium finishes anchors the main living space, while spacious guest bedrooms, generous walk-in closets, and a lavish primary suite with a spa-inspired bath bring comfort to everyday routines. The intimate building offers just 19 residences and a full-service doorman, along with two assigned garage parking spaces, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and an elegant club room. Above it all, a rooftop oasis features a resort-style pool, spa, lounge area, and sun deck overlooking the water—an easy rhythm of morning workouts, sunset swims, and lingering evenings.

Along the water’s edge in Lighthouse Point, this exceptional waterfront residence is designed around long water views and the everyday ease of the South Florida boating lifestyle. Completed in 2000 as the builder’s own home, it reflects a thoughtful approach to durability and performance, built under the New Florida Building Code with impact glass throughout. Outside, the infrastructure for life on the water is already in place: a raised seawall, a new composite dock, and a remote-controlled 14,000-pound boat lift that makes departures and returns feel effortless. Whether you’re heading out at sunrise or winding down as the light shifts across the water, the setting encourages a rhythm that’s equal parts practical and quietly restorative.

With open water as the backdrop, daily life here centers on light and horizon—sunrises and sunsets included—paired with the area’s pristine Jensen Beach shores and vibrant local scene. It’s a rare kind of offering: a blank, waterfront canvas ready to be shaped into a coastal lifestyle that feels entirely your own.
