Boca Harbour Boca Raton Luxury homesFeaturing the Boca Harbour Island Community

There is a multitude of exclusive neighborhoods located in South Florida. You’ll find a good variety of single family and private residences in one of the most leisurely communities, otherwise known as Boca Harbour Island. Waterfront real estate at this part of Boca Raton is a hot commodity as this is an area highly sought after for those wanting waterfront luxury homes. In this week’s blog, we highlight why we love Boca Harbour Island and after reading this, you will too!

Boca Harbour Island consists of about 45 waterfront residential properties located in the most secluded parcels of land that fall within the luxury category. One thing that won’t change is the lush tropical settings and waterfront to ocean access along the canals and Intracoastal.

As you travel along by yacht or boat, you’ll soon recognize the quality of craftsmanship along with the customization of each home. Unlike track homes or subdivisions seemingly manufactured from a mold, each of these estates is produced with unique qualities and no two are identical. Whether a home is Modern or Mediterranean, you can be certain it will be different from the rest of the neighborhood which makes this location exclusive.

Because this region carries the old Floridian appeal, there’s a lot to consider when it comes to each properties specification. For instance, square footage on each home differs significantly. You could find a home between 3,000-sq ft or one that’s 6,000 sq.+ sq ft. It varies that much since these are all custom-made houses. Whatever the case may be, you can count on construction using the finest of details and materials.

You can begin your evaluation of the building when you consider most of the properties at this location built with private docks for large sized vessels. After all, if you’re going to live in a place like Florida, a boat or yacht is one of the best ways to get around. The waterways are near the Gulf Stream which is the closest point for this body of water to reach land. The crystal blue water offers plenty of watersports including some of the best fishing around. You’ll find a lot of marine life in the back and front yards of this tropical paradise.

Located off of the East side of Federal Hwy (US1) in Boca Raton between Yamato Road and Canal 15 you’ll find the residence at Boca Harbour Island to be a place fit for even those with the most discerning of tastes. With a swimming pool and jacuzzi in almost every yard, this is an area that’s ideal for people looking for both a second or vacation home and full-time residence.

From multiple balconies to resort style living spaces, you can easily guess why some consider this the playground for the wealthy. Some other amenities that you can expect the listings will include 3-6 car garages, multiple fireplaces, theaters and tennis courts just to name a few. The interior will most likely have large vaulted and volume ceilings, with coffered detail, pub rooms, and wine cellars to gourmet kitchens and dressing rooms rather than closet space. This neighborhood is suitable for celebrities and professional athletes or anyone wanting to live the good life. Each one of the 325 parcels have been developed with precision in mind. That type of craftsmanship is yet another reason why the homes here are challenging to obtain. Another reason might be from the location itself and the conveniences of living in this zip code.

Boca Harbour Island is quintessential when it comes to travelers and people looking for secondary properties. This area is not far from the Boca Raton Airport and the Signature Flight Support. Both are suitable for those flying private and executive jets. Besides the seclusion of these two airports, the other would be the two major airports of Palm Beach International or Fort Lauderdale / Hollywood International. For this reason, many of our jet-setters and affluent population resides in Boca Harbour Island.

Another key point is the proximity to world-class dining and signature shopping such as Lord and Taylor and Tommy Bahama. Stores like Tommy Bahama's will soon be open in the famous Mizner Park. The park itself is an excellent place to bring guests or family when visiting. Packed full of entertainment from dancing to seeing a great movie in the lap of luxury. Mizner Park is a place you’ll see many of the members of the community coming together for a night on the town. The downtown Boca Raton area is a place to ride bikes, take long walks and explore what the city should offer. Just about everything you need is within walking distance to the downtown area with a short limo drive over to one of Boca Raton’s most featured attractions.

Lastly, the glorious stretch of sandy beaches people visit with a short bike ride from Boca Harbour Island. Along the foot of the Atlantic, you can see people participating in their favorite water sports such as paddleboarding and surfing to just basking in the warm Florida sun.

On top of the close connection, you’ll get with all the waterways; there’s plenty of other activities to suit any lifestyle. Those activities can include anything from golfing at champion courses to playing tennis on a Har-Tu court. This neighborhood has everything you can envision.

Imagine a life that’s well lived where you have everything within a close distance to your front doorstep. Visualize your friends and family visiting your home nestled deep in the foliage of exotic plants and trees and the pride you’ll present when showing off your unique mansion. Boca Harbour Island is everything you can picture and more.
