Ocean Cove is a gated community of twenty-two custom estates built by Jeff Norman, positioned on the barrier island in Highland Beach between Delray Beach and Boca Raton. This 2006 residence sits on a premium lot steps from the community's private beach access, with a deeded deep-water Intracoastal boat slip and no fixed bridges to the ocean.

Architecture & Construction
Norman built the home in a transitional style with cathedral ceilings in the foyer, impact windows and doors throughout, and a fire sprinkler system. The structure includes 4,231 square feet under air within a total footprint of 5,331 square feet. The home was designed to accommodate a future elevator, and the two-car garage is air-conditioned and oversized. A whole-house Generac generator provides backup power, a meaningful detail given the barrier island's exposure during hurricane season.
Interior Layout
The entry opens through a grand foyer into a bright, open floor plan with marble flooring. The kitchen is equipped with Sub-Zero refrigeration, Wolf cooking appliances, dual dishwashers, and custom cabinetry. A temperature-controlled wine room is integrated into the main living areas.
The primary suite occupies its own wing and includes dual private bathrooms, a morning bar, two oversized closets, and carpeted flooring. Three additional bedrooms are served by the remaining full bathrooms, offering flexibility for family or guest use.
Outdoor Living & Grounds
The rear of the home opens to an expansive loggia with a summer kitchen designed for outdoor entertaining. The heated pool and spa sit within the 0.18-acre lot, oriented toward garden views. The loggia provides covered outdoor living space that connects directly to the interior, maintaining the indoor-outdoor flow Norman designed into the layout.
Water Access & Docking
Each Ocean Cove residence includes a private Intracoastal dock with a deeded deep-water slip. The community sits on the barrier island with no fixed bridge restrictions, allowing direct ocean access through the Boca Raton Inlet, approximately two nautical miles south. This is a meaningful advantage for owners running sportfish or center-console boats that require unobstructed passage.
Location & Access
Highland Beach occupies a narrow stretch of barrier island along A1A, with the Atlantic to the east and the Intracoastal to the west. The community is gated without a guard, and the HOA covers private beach access for residents. Boca Raton is roughly four miles south with access to Mizner Park, Royal Palm Place, and the Boca Raton Airport. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport is approximately thirty minutes by car, and Palm Beach International Airport is roughly twenty-five minutes north. Highland Beach's zoning and density restrictions have kept the town among the quieter and lower-density barrier island communities in southern Palm Beach County.
