The reward has an address.
There is a moment, just after dawn, when the Atlantic turns from slate to gold and the first light reaches the third-floor windows. You are awake to see it — because this is the life you built, and this is the home where you finally live it.
Set directly on the sand inside the gates of Ocean Hammock, one of Florida's most exclusive oceanfront enclaves, this is not a residence that comes to market often. To the east lies an uninterrupted horizon of ocean and pristine beach. Above it rise three storeys, designed so the water is never out of view — the rare coastal estate where every important room is oriented to the sunrise.
Inside, a great room frames the ocean like a work of art, a chef's kitchen opens to the water, and a private elevator carries you to every floor. Below, the day belongs to the outdoors — a 17-by-28-foot pool and spa, a full summer kitchen, a dedicated theater tuned for true cinema. And because it is completing now, you arrive at a rare threshold: masterfully designed, yet still yours to personalize.
The Vision
A resort you never check out of.
Ocean Hammock wraps the estate in one of Florida's premier oceanfront golf experiences. Membership at The Club at Hammock Beach opens two championship courses, a 91,000-square-foot pool complex, an oceanfront spa, a world-ranked racquet club, and eight dining venues — resort living that begins the moment you step out your door.
“The Bear Claw”
Six holes play directly on the Atlantic — the most oceanfront holes in Florida — on the only true oceanfront course to open in the state in more than seventy years. Its punishing four-hole finish, edging the dunes and the sea, was christened “The Bear Claw” by Nicklaus himself.
Ocean Course
Jack Nicklaus Signature — six Atlantic holes and The Bear Claw finish.
Conservatory Course
A championship layout by Tom Watson — the resort's second 18.
Fantasy Pool & Lazy River
A 91,000-sq-ft water complex — lazy river, slide, and beach-entry pools.
Oceanfront Spa
Sea-mineral thalassotherapy rituals, massage and a full salon.
Racquet Club
Ranked among "The World's Top 50 Tennis Resorts" — tennis & pickleball.
Eight Dining Venues
From the Atlantic Grille to Delfinos Italian Chophouse and Stix sushi.
Beach Club
A private dune walkover to a quiet, natural stretch of Atlantic sand.
Fitness & Wellness
Fitness classes, personal training, and an oceanfront putting course.
Property Details
Features & Amenities
Not a House for Sale — a Finite Oceanfront Legacy
Scarcity
Direct oceanfront inside a gated enclave that holds the most Atlantic golf holes in Florida. A position on the sand cannot simply be bought again — it is finite, and it is here.
Bespoke Opportunity
Preconstruction, reframed: not "wait for it," but the rare chance to personalize a finished masterpiece — finish by finish — before the home is ever lived in.
Legacy & Lifestyle
Nicklaus golf, Hammock Beach Resort, and a multigenerational sanctuary on the sand. You are not acquiring a property — you are stepping into a life, meant to be held for generations.
Architecture & Plans
A custom British West Indies estate — shake siding and scored stucco, deep verandas with cable rails, flat clay-tile and standing-seam metal roofs, and a tower element that carries the eye to the sea. Below are the architect's own drawings.
Ocean Hammock
The estate sits directly on the Atlantic — ocean to the east, a private dune walkover to a natural, sea-oat coastline that sees a fraction of the crowds of Florida's resort beaches.
Just north lies Hammock Beach Resort & Spa and the Jack Nicklaus Signature Ocean Course — home to more oceanfront holes than any other course in Florida. Close enough to be your clubhouse; far enough that your stretch of sand stays quiet.
And it is all in a state with no income tax — a rational reward that, for many who relocate here, pays for the view.
