High above the dunes, this resort-style Ocean-to-Intracoastal estate enjoys pristine ivory sands, a tennis court, pool, and prized yacht dockage right at the inlet of Hillsboro Beach.

On the world-famous Hillsboro Mile, this stunning Ocean-to-Intracoastal estate stands out even among the many fine properties of this exclusive Gold Coast haven. From one of the highest points in Hillsboro Beach, this casually elegant East Coast traditional-style residence captures stunning ocean vistas from high over the dunes, and also looks westward to the Intracoastal where the full-service yacht dock awaits the avid mariner in a coveted location just three houses in from the Hillsboro Inlet.

The unusually deep property, stretching over 600± feet, gives more than ample room for the tennis court and the lushly landscaped, resort-style pool on the Intracoastal shoreline of Hillsboro Beach. A wraparound deck edging the ocean side of the residence opens the inviting, light-filled living spaces to the outdoors for alfresco entertaining in informal ease. Walkways cross the vast lawns to an oceanfront lounge terrace taking in glorious seaside scenery, and a dune walkway leading onto the soft sands offers the ultimate indulgence for a comfortable barefoot lifestyle in Hillsboro Beach.
