About the Home

Experience the pinnacle of coastal living with this Ocean-to-River Crown Jewel of South Florida's Treasure Coast, now available for sale following an extensive renovation.

This iconic 5-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom property spans four meticulously redesigned floors, offering over 2,000 square feet of luxury living space. Situated in Stuart, FL, recently named the "#1 Best Coastal Town in the USA" by USA Today for 2024, this unique residence boasts both private deeded oceanfront and riverfront access, complete with a private dock. The property's strategic location near Bathtub Beach on South Hutchinson Island provides unparalleled 360-degree water views and splendid isolation, bordering a 500-yard stretch of undevelopable county-owned beach adjacent to the historic House of Refuge.

The home's elevated position on a rocky bluff offers natural hurricane protection, while impact windows and doors ensure additional safety. With no HOA restrictions, owners enjoy full freedom to customize their living experience. The ground floor, currently configured as an apartment with one indoor parking space, can be converted back to a two-car garage at the seller's expense, offering flexibility for future use. This property, prominently featured in official government tourism photography, represents a rare opportunity to own a piece of South Florida's architectural and natural heritage in a neighborhood that perfectly balances private residences with vacation rentals.

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 $380,000 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 owner, having recently celebrated their 60th birthday, is entering semi-retirement, and has made the strategic decision to streamline their real estate portfolio, creating a unique chance for potential buyers. This listing stands out as an attractive prospect for cash buyers seeking a swift, straightforward purchase, and an unmatched opportunity to own a piece of Florida's finest real estate.
