It begins with the water.
Many of those who have chosen to live in Sailfish Point recall their initial glimpse of the community, a glimpse that left them breathless. The drive to the island takes you first eastward, on a sweeping fixed-span bridge over the Intracoastal Waterway. The first impression of Sailfish Point is one of brilliant color: blue harbor, rich greens, azure ponds, lush tropical vegetation and turquoise waters. There is the water. Ponds on the golf course that provide habitats for snowy egret, cormorant, ibis, heron and errant golf balls. The Indian River, an estuary teeming with manatee and bottlenose dolphin, bordered by mangrove trees. The St. Lucie Inlet separating Jupiter Island from Sailfish Point. And finally, there are the turquoise waters of the Atlantic washing up on the private white-sand beach. There is water and water-access for every Sailfish Point resident. It is no wonder that people from all over the world come here to purchase waterfront properties.
It is not just the abundance of water on and around Sailfish Point that makes it unique. There is also the variety of waters and the way they shape life in this community. The private deep water marina in this private South Florida community makes access to open water easy. There truly is no better place to have a waterfront home in Florida.
No other community in Florida offers access from a private marina to open water in five minutes. The Sailfish Point Marina opens directly into the waters of the St. Lucie Inlet, literally, at its convergence with the turquoise waters of the Atlantic. So, the Indian River, the Atlantic and the Inlet offer three unique waters, three unique fishing and boating experiences, from this sea island. Residents often speak of how the variety and accessibility of water shaped their early impressions as they searched the coast for their ideal Florida waterfront community.
Homes and home sites around the harbors offer private, deep water slips that put boats just steps from your door. Often homeowners take their boats over to the city of Stuart for lunch and a little shopping. Or, some take the quick trip to the Bahamas, which are approximately 75 miles east. Longer excursions through the inland waterways and Lake Okeechobee take boaters across the state to the Gulf Coast. Boaters and non-boaters alike love the lakes, rivers and ocean of the community.
The nearby Gulf Stream assures temperate waters, and the onshore breezes bring moderate climate. Truly, Sailfish Point provides the perfect location for buyers seeking Florida waterfront homes.
