In Waltham, a foreclosure purchase on 12 acres adds notable practicality with two garages and three-car capacity.

Along Florida’s Gulf Coast, a quintet of residences traces a shared devotion to water and open-air living, from River District Fort Myers to St. Pete Beach, Palmetto, and Lakewood Ranch. Each property frames the outdoors as an extension of the home, whether through a custom pool and firepit, courtyard-style swimming, multiple waterfront heated pools, or a screened retreat above flood level. Modernized, move-in-ready interiors keep the focus on ease, while gated and master-planned settings add a resort-minded rhythm to daily life.

Florida’s luxury lifestyle takes on a water-centric rhythm in this quintet, moving from South Tampa’s design-forward custom builds to Gulf Coast enclaves defined by boating, beachfront, and sunset views. In Tampa, entertaining is engineered through bold entries, chef-grade kitchens, generous bonus space, and indoor-outdoor transitions anchored by resort-style pools. Farther along the coast, privacy becomes the throughline, from a gated preserve setting with a deeded deep-water boat slip to extra-deep Gulf-front land and an Old Florida retreat with a dedicated beach path.

Outdoor living shaped by privacy, recreation, and a sense of ease. From a courtyard-entry villa in Pelican Bay near Artis Naples to a .9-acre golf-course estate in The Forest Country Club, each home leans into lifestyle as much as location. Waterfront narratives range from sailboat access in Punta Gorda Isles to a 2024-renovated bayfront retreat on Isles of Capri, while a gated Odessa ski-lake estate offers rare scale and seclusion.

Farther south, a Naples penthouse brings panoramic terrace living near the Gulf, while a Bonita Springs coastal masterpiece pairs resort-style pool and spa with a private dock for quick Gulf runs.
