Spellbinding views sweep all the way down Lake Boca Raton from this sensational Por la Mar compound, a dream estate for the yachter, car collector, and entertainer.
Commanding front-row center-stage views on Lake Boca Raton, this gated compound is one of the most spectacular estates in Por la Mar, a beachside enclave long considered among Boca Raton's most prestigious neighborhoods. A palm-lined motor court travels past the guest/carriage house to the porte cochere entrance of the palatial Modern Mediterranean residence, which looks all the way down the majestic lake waters and coastline, presided over by the landmark Boca Raton Resort & Club. A great rarity of the estate, the multi-vessel dockage features a side slip that can berth a 135±-foot mega-yacht without obstructing the lake vista.
Through glass double doors, guests are ushered into the impressive foyer, dominated by a grand floating staircase adding to the ambiance of an elegant boutique hotel. Directly ahead is the dramatic double-height window-walled grand salon at the heart of the fluid floor-plan. Focused on the lakefront, this room's curvaceous curtain wall of glass opens to the fabulous outdoor entertainment space, where the immense infinity pool visually connects with the glittering expanse of lake waters in a setting that makes every social event an occasion to remember.
Other accoutrements for entertaining include the roof-top observation deck, theater room, and two full kitchens capable of serving large groups. Seven bedroom suites feature the lavish master wing and include two guest suites in the carriage house, also perfect for staff or captain's quarters. Garages in the main residence and carriage house accommodate a grand total of nine vehicles. Truly one-of-a-kind, this is the ultimate Boca Raton dream estate for the avid yachter, car collector, and entertainer.
