Location

Old Boca Raton’s most prestigious beachside enclave, The Estate Section is known for its stately residences and timeless beauty, tucked in between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway and just steps away from the landmark Boca Raton Resort & Club. Adjacent to South Beach Park and close to the Boca Raton inlet, there is direct access to the beach along a very wide ribbon of pristine ivory sands.

This historic community was originally developed by financier Clarence H. Geist, a prominent figure in Boca Raton’s rise to fame as an exclusive Gold Coast resort, who also developed Addison Mizner’s extravagant hotel, The Cloisters Inn, as the now world renowned Boca Raton Resort & Club. Magnificently cloaked in mature tropical landscaping, the unusually large lots of the Estate Section sit both on the Intracoastal Waterway and in interior locations. The residences include some of the original 1930’s estates designed by the celebrated Swiss-born, European-trained society architect Maurice Fatio in his signature tropical style.

The Estate Section offers an address of choice only minutes away from Mizner Park’s world-class shopping and dining and within easy driving distance of Boca Raton’s private executive airport. Set apart by its gracious splendor, rich heritage, and premier location, this sought-after community maintains its legacy as the jewel in the crown of Boca Raton.
