This quarter-acre canal-front parcel on Sabal Island in Ocean Ridge delivers 100 feet of deep-water frontage with Intracoastal views, positioned within the McCormick Mile community. The existing 1974 residence offers a baseline structure of two bedrooms, two baths, a den, and a two-car garage, but the primary value proposition here is the land, the water, and the location.

Site & Water Frontage
The 100 feet of deep-water canal frontage provides direct navigable access to Intracoastal waterways. For vessel owners, the depth and width of the canal system along Sabal Island accommodate serious boats without the draft limitations common to shallower canal communities further south in Boca Raton or Deerfield Beach. Ocean Ridge's protected waterways and proximity to the Boynton Inlet, roughly one mile north, make this a practical homeport for offshore fishing or cruising.
Existing Structure & Development Potential
The current residence spans approximately 2,500 total square feet with 1,460 square feet under air. At its 1974 vintage and given the lot's value, this is a tear-down or full gut-renovation candidate. Ocean Ridge's building codes and setback requirements for waterfront parcels will dictate the buildable envelope, but a quarter-acre lot with this frontage in McCormick Mile can support a substantially larger residence than what stands today. Buyers should consult the Town of Ocean Ridge building department early regarding current floor-area-ratio limits and seawall requirements.
McCormick Beach Club & Community
Ownership includes membership to the McCormick Beach Club, which provides private Atlantic beach access. This is a meaningful distinction in Ocean Ridge, where direct oceanfront lots are tightly held and beach access for non-oceanfront residents is limited to a small number of private club arrangements. The McCormick Mile section of Ocean Ridge sits between the Intracoastal Waterway and A1A, with no commercial zoning and minimal through-traffic.
Location & Access
Ocean Ridge occupies a narrow coastal corridor between Boynton Beach to the north and Briny Breezes to the south, with Delray Beach's Atlantic Avenue dining and retail district roughly ten minutes south. Worth Avenue in Palm Beach is approximately 25 minutes north via A1A or I-95. Palm Beach International Airport is a 20-minute drive. The town maintains its own police department and enforces a residential-only character that has kept density low relative to neighboring municipalities.
