Perched atop a rare, extraordinarily high-elevation oceanfront parcel reaching up to 23 feet above sea level, this fully renovated Mediterranean estate sprawls across three-quarters of an acre with approximately 165 feet of pristine Atlantic frontage in one of the island’s most coveted waterfront locations at 680 South Ocean.
Designed for both grand entertaining and serene everyday living, the six-bedroom compound captures sweeping water views through walls of glass and includes an array of world-class appointments.
The primary suite resides in its own upper wing, complete with seaside balconies, his-and-hers baths, and expansive closets, while entertaining spaces like the custom chef’s kitchen by L’Atelier Paris and media room are anchored by bespoke cabinetry and thoughtful finishes. Modern systems, from Lutron lighting and Sonos to a full generator and three-car garage with lift, reinforce the estate’s effortless operation.
A hallmark feature is the private tunnel to the beach, recently rebuilt with new drainage, lighting, and flooring, delivering direct access to one of the most exclusive stretches of sand in the country. Below, a fully finished 1,400-square-foot lower level adds versatility with staff living, a full bath, storage, and a large laundry suite. Outdoors, numerous al fresco dining settings, a fully outfitted summer kitchen, herb garden, bespoke pizza oven, and state-of-the-art grill complete the picture of coastal living at its finest.
Offered at $80,000,000 by Margit Brandt of Premier Estate Properties, the residence sets a new benchmark for generational estates in Palm Beach’s highly sought Estate Section.
But this listing arrives at a moment when Palm Beach itself is transforming into more than just a premier refuge, it’s becoming a permanent base for the world’s most influential individuals. Previously, according to Margit Brandt of Premier Estate Properties, as much as 30% of boutique Wall Street firms are now considering South Florida satellite offices as wealthy professionals reevaluate their long-term geographic priorities, drawn by lifestyle appeal, stability, and opportunity.
Brandt, a leading voice in luxury real estate both nationally and locally in Palm Beach, terms this growing trend the “Fourth Migration,” noting that Palm Beach is no longer just a second-home escape but a year-round lifestyle for some of the most consequential players in finance and culture. Whether buyers view the region as a hedge against uncertainty elsewhere or a full relocation destination, this shift is reshaping demand, particularly for ultra-high-end coastal estates like 680 South Ocean Boulevard.
In a backdrop where South Florida’s real-estate narrative is increasingly defined by national and global migration flows, this landmark property is a statement about where the world’s wealthiest choose to live, entertain, and invest.
