Ocean-To-Intracoastal Living

A Grand South Florida Estate Pairs Privacy, Scale And Rare Dual Waterfront

By Grant Ellison

A rare ocean-to-Intracoastal estate in Manalapan, The Beach House offers 1.86 acres, three residences, resort-style amenities, and direct access to two of South Florida’s most coveted waterfront settings.

A Rare Dual-Waterfront Estate
In Manalapan, one of South Florida’s most exclusive coastal enclaves, 640 South Ocean Boulevard offers the rarest of Palm Beach County luxuries: direct ocean frontage and Intracoastal access on one expansive estate. Listed at $72.5 million, the property, known as The Beach House, spans 1.86 acres with approximately 155 feet of direct ocean and Intracoastal frontage, creating a private compound designed for both grand entertaining and resort-style living.

The estate includes three residences totaling more than 22,000 square feet: a main house, a south guest house, and a north guest house. Together, they offer 11 bedrooms, 13 full baths, and six half baths, with the main residence providing seven bedrooms and 9.4 baths. The guest houses add flexibility for extended family, visiting friends, staff, or long-term guests, each with its own sense of privacy and function.

Designed For Grand Living
Arrival is through a lushly landscaped drive that introduces the property’s scale and symmetry. The home, designed with Neoclassical presence and island-inspired landscaping, opens to dramatic views of the pool, manicured lawn, and ocean beyond. Inside, the foyer sets a refined tone with water views, a grand staircase, custom inlaid marble flooring, and smoked glass columns. The result is formal without feeling distant, polished without losing its connection to the landscape.

The main level is organized for both ceremony and comfort. The formal living room features custom furnishings, lacquered walls, and a backlit marble fireplace, while a central gallery connects the home’s principal spaces. In the north wing, the kitchen, family room, and breakfast room overlook an oversized covered loggia, allowing everyday living to flow naturally toward the outdoors. In the south wing, a VIP bedroom suite opens privately to the loggia and features statuary marble dual vanities and floor-to-ceiling windows.

Private Suites And Resort Comforts
Upstairs, the primary suite occupies the southeast wing and is designed as a private retreat. Ocean views, an expansive terrace, custom millwork, a seating area, fireplace, breakfast bar, and dedicated dressing and bath spaces create a sanctuary-like experience. Her bath includes an oceanfront setting, soaking tub, inlaid marble, balcony, and a dramatic mother-of-pearl oyster shell chandelier, while his bath offers a spa-like rain shower. A gym connects to both closet and bath areas for convenience and privacy.

Additional en-suite bedrooms on the upper level provide oceanfront, garden, and flexible-use options, many with access to covered loggias. On the lower level, a temperature-controlled wine room and an additional staff bedroom or support the estate’s entertaining and service needs. A fully finished, air-conditioned garage accommodates five or more cars.

Guest Houses And Outdoor Living
Beyond the main house, the two guest residences extend the compound’s livability. The south guest house includes a family room, dining room, full kitchen, and two-bedroom layout, while the north guest house offers two bedrooms and a catering or chef’s kitchen. Across the grounds, coral stairs, lawns, gardens, terraces, and water views create a sense of movement between formal architecture and tropical ease.

The property is walled and gated, with enhanced security and a smart-home system. On the Intracoastal side, a private dock with two lifts makes the estate especially appealing for yachting, water sports, and those who want direct access to the water from both sides of the property.

Manalapan At Its Most Exclusive
Manalapan has long been prized for privacy, ocean-to-Intracoastal estates, and proximity to Palm Beach, Delray Beach, and Boca Raton. Shopping, golf, tennis, restaurants, the Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa, and Nobu Manalapan are all nearby, while private aviation options and major South Florida airports are within reach.

Offered fully furnished, with an exclusion list for select personal items, The Beach House represents a rare opportunity to own a complete South Florida waterfront compound where architecture, scale, privacy, and location meet at the highest level.
