Waterfront Marina Residences in High Demand

Stuart - Spurred by the popularity of boating with the emerging babyboomer market, the demand for marina slips in South Florida has reached an all-time high. Often, being on the water alone isn't enough for these impassioned water enthusiasts. Coupled with the frenzied real estate market of 2005, waterfront property has also become a vanishing commodity. Everyday, more and more homeowners are discovering the quest for a waterfront paradise with dockage is becoming increasingly difficult.

With so many boaters in the marketplace for so few properties, Outrigger Harbour along the western shores of the Indian River represents a rare opportunity for just 20 fortunate homeowners. Here, spacious maintenance-free residences are complemented by the ultimate amenity -- a private, deep-water protected marina for vessels up to 65 ft. in length. Priced from just $1.2 million, Outrigger Harbour represents a prime real estate offering. Located just 3 miles north of the St. Lucie Inlet and minutes from downtown Stuart’s popular dining, shopping, and entertainment district--Florida waterfront living just doesn’t get any better than this.

"There simply is not another piece of property to match this anywhere on Florida’s Atlantic Coast. If you’re looking for the opportunity to live in the nicest place in Florida, you'll want to move quickly," said Patrick Stracuzzi, president of Patrick Stracuzzi Real Estate, the exclusive agents for Outrigger Harbour. "Whether you’re a boater looking for a protected harbor marina, or a homeowner looking for wide water view in a secure, maintenance-free community, Outrigger Harbour is one-of-a-kind."

"This is the only place in Martin County that offers a spacious, luxurious residence with ocean-access, deep-water dockage," said Stracuzzi. "It is the perfect place for people who have the freedom to enjoy life and travel. With over 3,500 sq. ft. of living area, residents enjoy all the space of an estate home while enjoying a carefree boating lifestyle."

Outrigger Harbour’s 26-slip marina can accommodate yachts up to 65-feet in length. This protected, deep-water facility located three miles north of the St. Lucie Inlet along the western shores of the Indian River. With no fixed draw bridges between your home and the Atlantic, you're literally minutes away from the world-class fishing off of Stuart and just 60 miles from The Bahamas. It's a boater's paradise.

A riverside pool/cabana situated on a landscaped peninsula sits adjacent to the marina. Just across the harbour, The Dolphin Bar & Grille is a favorite of locals and visitors alike. It's the perfect spot for residents to gather at the end of the day and enjoy the gentle breezes from the Atlantic Ocean. The Intracoastal Waterway provides an ever-changing vista with dolphins playing in the wakes of passing boats or sailboats from the near-by sailing center tacking back to port.

An intimate community of just 20 residences will offer semi-private elevator vestibules. Lush landscaping and attention to architectural detail make Outrigger Harbour a veritable paradise hideaway. While this secure, gated, maintenance-free community may be small in numbers, the beautifully designed residences reflecting Old-World style Mediterranean architecture are large and luxurious and are offered in six unique floor plans.

These spacious three-bedroom residences feature a great room design that spills outdoors to the lanai and balcony areas. The owner’s suite is a personal get-away with generous walk-in closets and luxurious bath and dressing areas. An optional study and/or exercise room completes the floor plan.

Finished in tones of pale spun sugar with persimmon accent, Outrigger Harbour perfectly complements the neighboring homes in upscale Sewall’s Point and the naturally beautiful Indian River Park in Jensen Beach. The understated elegance of this area invites the gracious, relaxed living that makes Martin County a most desirable residential address.

Buyers are also drawn to the self-sufficiency of the property. Hurricane-resistant impact glass and on-site full service generators ensure Outrigger Harbour is well protected against the forces of nature. These homes are designed to ensure utmost comfort while in residence and absolute security when owners are absent.

The quality of the construction at Outrigger Harbour is truly outstanding, with 13-inch concrete floors between each residence to maximize privacy and acoustic intimacy. Granite countertops, crown moldings, 42-inch hardwood cabinetry and designer floor selections are standard throughout each residence. Coffered and vaulted ceilings also are an appreciated design feature at Outrigger Harbour, and the top-of-the-line appliance package will make life easier and more efficient for the whole family. Each luxury residence comes standard with two-car enclosed groundlevel parking, and those who like to entertain will appreciate the ample guest parking. For those whose passion is entertainment, there is a wet bar in each residence.

Pre-construction pricing starts at $1.2 million. Construction is now underway with completion scheduled for later this year. The property is located on Indian River Drive in Jensen Beach just north of Sewall’s Point.
