The Story Behind
Ocean-to-Intracoastal Estate Redefining Architectural Excellence
This unprecedented 50,000-square-foot masterpiece spans four acres in prestigious Manalapan, offering over 700 feet of combined ocean and Intracoastal frontage. Designed by Choeff Levy Fishman and crafted by Robert W. Burrage, this architectural triumph seamlessly integrates world-class amenities including a private car museum, oceanside beach house, and infinity-edge pool with panoramic water views from every room.
This extraordinary estate represents a convergence of visionary design and masterful execution, orchestrated by three titans of luxury development. Acclaimed architect Choeff Levy Fishman conceived a structure that transcends traditional residential boundaries, creating a living canvas where modern sophistication meets timeless elegance. The 50,000-square-foot composition unfolds across multiple levels, each thoughtfully positioned to maximize the spectacular 700-foot waterfront panorama.
Renowned builder Robert W. Burrage of RWB Construction Management translated this ambitious vision into reality, employing precision craftsmanship evident in every detail—from the seamless marble installations to the intricate woodwork that frames floor-to-ceiling windows. The construction philosophy emphasized both grandeur and intimacy, creating spaces that feel appropriately scaled whether hosting grand gatherings or quiet moments of reflection.
Marc-Michaels Interior Design elevated the interiors to museum-quality standards, curating a sophisticated palette of natural materials and bespoke furnishings. The design narrative flows effortlessly from the dramatic spiral staircase adorned with marble steps and wooden accents to the serene primary suite where a modern fireplace anchors panoramic water views.
The estate's amenity collection reads like a private resort inventory: a climate-controlled car museum showcases automotive artistry behind glass walls, while the state-of-the-art home theater features reclining seats beneath a star-lit ceiling. The wine cellar, with its extensive wooden racks and intimate tasting area, serves as both storage and entertainment venue. For recreation, residents enjoy a professional bowling alley, padel court, golf simulation room, and private shooting range—each space designed with the same attention to detail as the primary living areas.
The architectural crown jewel remains the 3,700-square-foot infinity-edge pool, seemingly suspended above the Intracoastal Waterway. Cascading waterfalls and carefully orchestrated lagoons create a water symphony that enhances the elevated landscaping, while the private dock accommodates mega yachts with direct ocean access through nearby inlets.
Every element, from the oceanside beach house to the fully equipped spa and gymnasium with waterfront views, contributes to an integrated living experience that sets new standards for ultra-luxury residential design. This is architecture as art form—a permanent installation celebrating the finest in contemporary living.
Manalapan represents one of South Florida's most exclusive enclaves, a barrier island community where privacy and prestige converge along pristine coastline. This intimate town of fewer than 400 residents has cultivated a reputation as a sanctuary for discerning individuals seeking the ultimate in coastal luxury while maintaining proximity to major cultural and commercial centers.
Strategically positioned between three of Florida's most prestigious destinations—Palm Beach Island to the north, Delray Beach to the south, and Boca Raton to the west—Manalapan offers unparalleled accessibility without sacrificing exclusivity. The town's unique geography provides dual water access, with the Atlantic Ocean forming the eastern boundary and the Intracoastal Waterway defining the western edge, creating an island paradise where residents enjoy both sunrise and sunset water views.
The community's commitment to preserving its intimate character is evident in thoughtful zoning that maintains large lot sizes and ensures privacy between estates. Ancient banyan trees and native palm groves create natural privacy screens, while the town's dedication to environmental stewardship has preserved much of the original coastal landscape that attracted early developers to this pristine stretch of coastline.
Manalapan residents enjoy exclusive membership privileges at The La Coquille Club, located within the renowned Eau Palm Beach Resort and Spa. This oceanfront resort, with its world-class spa services, championship golf access, and fine dining establishments, extends the luxury lifestyle beyond private estate boundaries. The resort's beachfront location provides additional recreational opportunities, from water sports to beachside relaxation in an atmosphere of refined elegance.
The location's appeal extends beyond recreational amenities to practical considerations that matter to international residents. Multiple private airports, including Palm Beach International Airport and Boca Raton Airport, provide convenient access for private aviation, while the nearby inlets accommodate large vessels, making this an ideal location for those whose lifestyle demands seamless travel by air and sea.
Cultural enrichment opportunities abound in the surrounding communities, from the world-class shopping of Worth Avenue in Palm Beach to the vibrant arts scene in Delray Beach. The proximity to major metropolitan areas like Miami and Fort Lauderdale expands lifestyle options while preserving the tranquil, residential character that defines Manalapan living.
This unique positioning offers residents the rare combination of complete privacy and immediate access to South Florida's finest amenities, creating a lifestyle that seamlessly blends seclusion with sophistication.
