In an exclusive realm that truly sets itself apart, this seaside estate reigns in unbridled splendor as both work of art and a haven of world-class luxury. Here, leading Vero Beach architect Lynn Silkworth and respected builder David Farrow have teamed their talents to the ultimate advantage in this sprawling compound on an incredible 155± feet of oceanfront right in Vero Beach’s prestigious estate section.

Highly distinguished in so many aspects, this is a grand estate unlike any other on Florida’s Treasure Coast.
