EXCLUSIVE HARBOR BEACH ESTATE 

An amazing 407+/- feet of deepwater shoreline gives this exclusive Harbor Beach estate multi-yacht dockage and long Lake Sylvan vistas.

One of Fort Lauderdale's most sought-after beach and yachting communities provides the setting for this extraordinary deepwater estate uniquely positioned at the southern tip of Lake Sylvan by the side waterway. Here, the expansive shoreline totaling 407+/- feet provides dockage for two mega-yachts and captures far-reaching vistas up Lake Sylvan, with the dramatic Fort Lauderdale Beach hotels in the distance.

The carefully configured design of the magnificent Mediterranean-inspired residence underscores its elegant character while capitalizing on the stunning viewpoint. At the heart of the house is the impressive two-story great room, off of which the additional living spaces radiate in an effortless flow. Upstairs, five bedroom suites feature a luxurious master wing plus two separate self-contained suites perfect for captain's quarters. Showcased on an oversized property with resort-style pool and lavish tropical landscaping, this is a distinguished Harbor Beach estate.
