Property

This stunning Brand-New British West Indies-style estate, scheduled for early 2010 completion, holds a wealth of extraordinary features. For the devoted yachtsman, 117+/- feet of sheltered deepwater frontage berths a 100+/- foot vessel or multiple craft at the full-service T-shaped dock with dual 12,000-pound lifts. Water’s Edge Development created this magnificent custom estate to meet discerning standards of Vero Beach’s luxury living. On fully landscaped grounds, French and herringbone-patterned tumblestone travertine carries from the motor court to the balconies and terraces, while Herpel Stone edges the pool and spill-over spa. The full summer kitchen has a KitchenAid grill. Expansive vistas unfold from the serene cove setting off the Indian River.
