The Story Behind
Ocean-to-Intracoastal Architectural Masterpiece Spanning Four Waterfront Acres
This architectural tour de force emerges from the visionary collaboration between three industry luminaries: Choeff Levy Fishman Architecture, renowned for their sophisticated modernist approach to luxury residential design; master builder Robert W. Burrage, whose RWB Construction Management has earned acclaim for executing South Florida's most ambitious estates; and Marc-Michaels Interior Design, celebrated for their ability to harmonize contemporary elegance with livable luxury.
The residence's design philosophy centers on the seamless integration of indoor and outdoor living, achieved through floor-to-ceiling glass walls that frame unobstructed water vistas from every principal room. The architectural language speaks in clean horizontal lines and cantilevered volumes, creating dramatic spatial experiences while maintaining intimate human scale. Natural materials—including book-matched marble, rich hardwoods, and textured stone—ground the contemporary aesthetic in timeless sophistication.
At the heart of the estate lies a spectacular curved staircase featuring marble treads and integrated lighting, serving as both functional circulation and sculptural centerpiece. The open-concept living areas flow effortlessly from the grand salon with its soaring ceilings to the gourmet kitchen, where custom cabinetry conceals premium appliances behind seamless facades.
The amenity collection reads like a private resort inventory: a climate-controlled car museum with floor-to-ceiling glass showcasing automotive treasures; a professional-grade home theater with starlight ceiling and integrated wine service; a regulation bowling alley finished in sophisticated materials; a padel court for the increasingly popular racquet sport; and a meticulously designed shooting range meeting the highest safety standards.
The wellness facilities include a fully equipped gymnasium with waterfront views, a spa featuring treatment rooms and relaxation areas, and multiple guest accommodations including a refined guest house and an oceanside cottage for intimate gatherings.
Outdoor spaces receive equal attention to detail, anchored by a 3,700-square-foot infinity-edge pool that appears to merge with the Intracoastal waters beyond. Cascading water features and carefully orchestrated landscaping create a series of outdoor rooms, each offering unique perspectives of the surrounding waterscape. The private dock accommodates large vessels, providing direct ocean access through nearby inlets for effortless yacht access to destinations throughout South Florida and the Caribbean.
The Town of Manalapan represents one of South Florida's most exclusive enclaves, a barrier island community of just over 400 residents occupying a narrow strip of land between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway. Incorporated in 1931, this intimate municipality spans only 1.4 square miles, ensuring an atmosphere of privacy and exclusivity unmatched in the region.
Manalapan's strategic location places residents at the epicenter of South Florida's cultural and recreational offerings. To the north, Palm Beach Island beckons with Worth Avenue's world-class shopping, The Breakers resort, and the cultural institutions of the Henry Morrison Flagler Museum. The vibrant arts district of Delray Beach lies to the south, offering acclaimed restaurants, galleries, and the performing arts venues along Atlantic Avenue. Boca Raton, with its championship golf courses, luxury shopping at Mizner Park, and sophisticated dining scene, provides additional lifestyle amenities within minutes.
The community's crown jewel amenity comes through complimentary membership to The La Coquille Club at the renowned Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa. This oceanfront resort, a AAA Five Diamond property, offers residents access to pristine beach facilities, championship golf, world-class spa services, and multiple dining venues helmed by celebrated chefs.
For the globally mobile, Manalapan's location provides unparalleled convenience. Palm Beach International Airport lies 20 minutes north, offering commercial and private aviation services. The exclusive airports of Boca Raton and Delray Beach cater specifically to private jet travel, while the region's numerous marinas accommodate vessels of all sizes for those preferring nautical arrival.
The Intracoastal Waterway serves as the community's liquid highway, connecting residents to destinations throughout Florida's Gold Coast. The nearby Boca Raton and Palm Beach inlets provide direct Atlantic access, opening routes to the Bahamas, the Florida Keys, and beyond for serious yachting enthusiasts.
Manalapan's commitment to maintaining its residential character is evident in its thoughtful development restrictions and dedication to preserving natural landscapes. The community's beaches remain among the most pristine in South Florida, protected by strict environmental guidelines and enhanced by ongoing conservation efforts.
The cultural landscape reflects the sophisticated tastes of residents, with proximity to world-class museums including the Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach, the Boca Raton Museum of Art, and seasonal programming at venues like the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts. Championship golf courses dot the surrounding area, including seminole Golf Club, one of America's most exclusive clubs, and the Ocean Course at Hammock Beach Resort.
This convergence of privacy, natural beauty, cultural richness, and strategic location creates a lifestyle proposition unmatched anywhere in the United States, where residents enjoy the intimacy of a small coastal community while maintaining immediate access to world-class amenities and global connectivity.
