The property faces Polo Cove with views across to the Gulf Stream waterfront estates and offers no-fixed-bridge ocean access, a private dock, and a 16,000-pound boat lift.

Development Potential & Zoning
The 11,400-plus-square-foot lot sits in unincorporated Palm Beach County rather than within City of Delray Beach jurisdiction, which means permitting runs through the county rather than the more restrictive municipal review process. The lot carries builder-friendly zoning with no HOA restrictions, making it a candidate for teardown and new construction of a two-story waterfront residence. Public water and sewer service the parcel, eliminating well and septic considerations that can complicate Intracoastal redevelopment.
Direct Intracoastal parcels with no-fixed-bridge ocean access in east Delray are increasingly rare. The no-bridge route south to the Boynton Inlet is approximately two miles, providing quick open-water access for sportfishing vessels and larger cruisers.
Existing Improvements
The current structure is a two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath ranch with 1,752 square feet under air. Interior condition is livable, and the property is positioned as move-in ready with a one-car garage and parking for five vehicles behind a gated entry. The lot is secured with security fencing and lighting, and the single-entry road into Tradewinds eliminates through traffic.
Outdoor Living & Water Access
The waterside yard includes a heated saltwater pool with views of the Intracoastal and passing boat traffic. A covered patio with pergola extends living space to the seawall edge. The private dock accommodates vessels and the 16,000-pound boat lift is already installed, so a new owner can begin using the water access immediately.
Location & Access
Atlantic Avenue's restaurant and retail corridor is roughly 2.5 miles to the north. The Boynton Inlet provides the nearest ocean access by water, approximately two miles south with no fixed bridges en route. Palm Beach International Airport is a 25-minute drive north via I-95. The property sits directly across the Intracoastal from Gulf Stream, one of the most protected and low-density oceanfront municipalities in South Florida.
