Life at Martin Manor unfolds as a rare harmony of quiet retreat and gracious conviviality. Two fireplaces, one anchoring the great room, another casting its gentle warmth across the porch, establish an atmosphere equally suited to intimate evenings or spirited gatherings among friends. Retractable screens and UV protective awnings extend the pleasures of each season, inviting the outdoors to become a natural extension of the home’s elegant interior.

Beyond the residence, a glass tiled pool with an infinity spa glistens beneath the Florida sky. An expansive terrace of ivory travertine stretches outward, while a fire lit cooking pavilion stands ready to host evenings of memorable hospitality. Here, moments of tranquil reflection and lively celebration alike find their perfect setting.

The surrounding grounds unfold as a pastoral idyll. Mature cypress and stately Bismarck palms rise alongside flowering silk floss and brilliant poinciana, joined by Japanese blueberry and noble oak. A six zone irrigation system quietly tends the lawns and gardens, while a fully stocked pond, complete with its own dock and abundant wildlife, lends the estate a gentle rural charm. Bald eagles are known to nest nearby, a noble testament to the property’s enduring harmony with the natural world.

Behind such beauty lies a foundation of thoughtful self sufficiency. A 32 KW Generac generator, a 1,000 gallon underground LP gas tank, well water with reverse osmosis purification, dual Insta Hot heaters, and underground FPL electric service ensure effortless living. Together they offer the rare possibility of optional off grid independence without sacrificing comfort or convenience. A three car garage, including an air conditioned bay and accompanying carport, enhances the home’s practicality, while two prepared pads with water connections provide future opportunity for a stable, tennis court, or additional guest residence.

The estate also enjoys direct easement access to community bridle paths, miles of winding trails thoughtfully maintained for equestrian pursuits. From this tranquil setting, Palm Beach, Wellington, and the celebrated Winter Equestrian Festival remain easily within reach, as does private aviation through Stuart Jet Center.

Here stands a residence of sovereign independence, quiet grandeur, and enduring grace, a Florida country house possessing something of the soul of a Scottish estate, awaiting the stewardship of its next fortunate custodian.
