There is an oceanfront pool as well as a courtyard lap pool, north/south tennis court with viewing pavilion, garages for eight cars, and an immense motor court. Fronting 155 feet on both the ocean and river, the serene grounds also highlight a wide dune-fringed sandy beach, citrus grove, mangrove boardwalk, and boat pier.The allure of this estate is immeasurable and irresistible.
