This cedar-sided, two-story traditional home sits on 1.2 acres backing directly to the C-18 canal in Palm Beach Country Estates, one of the few remaining semi-rural acreage communities in Palm Beach Gardens. The property combines canal-front seclusion, a two-stall pole barn stable, and farmhouse-inflected architecture on a parcel large enough to support equestrian use or significant landscape programming.
This cedar-sided, two-story traditional home sits on 1.2 acres backing directly to the C-18 canal in Palm Beach Country Estates, one of the few remaining semi-rural acreage communities in Palm Beach Gardens. The property combines canal-front seclusion, a two-stall pole barn stable, and farmhouse-inflected architecture on a parcel large enough to support equestrian use or significant landscape programming.
Architecture & Interior
The exterior is clad in natural cedar siding, giving the home a textured, agrarian character distinct from the stucco construction typical of the area. Inside, pecky cypress ceilings run through the main living areas, and a two-sided fireplace connects the living and dining rooms, serving as the central architectural element on the ground floor. A second fireplace is located in the primary bedroom suite on the upper level.
The primary suite opens to a private balcony overlooking the C-18 canal and the surrounding tree canopy. Four bedrooms and three full baths are distributed across the two-story layout, with 2,306 square feet under air and 3,510 square feet of total covered space including the garage and covered outdoor areas.
Outdoor Living & Grounds
The screened pool area faces the canal, set within the 1.2-acre lot that offers considerable depth and privacy from adjacent properties. A two-stall pole barn stable sits on the grounds, suitable for horses, workshop use, or equipment storage. Palm Beach Country Estates permits equestrian use on residential parcels of this size, a flexibility that few communities this close to I-95 and the Turnpike still offer.
Systems & Condition
The roof dates to 2012, the HVAC system was replaced in 2019, and the water heater is from 2022. The home has partial impact glass protection. Given the age of the structure (1990) and the quality of the bones, the property presents a clear renovation candidate for buyers looking to execute a modern farmhouse conversion or ground-up redesign while retaining the land value and canal frontage.
Location & Access
Palm Beach Country Estates is situated west of the Beeline Highway (SR 710) in northern Palm Beach Gardens. The community has no HOA or mandatory membership, and lots range from one to over two acres. PBI (Palm Beach International Airport) is approximately 25 minutes south via I-95, and Jupiter is roughly 15 minutes north. The C-18 canal connects to the broader drainage and canal system managed by the South Florida Water Management District; it is not a navigable waterway for significant vessel use, but it provides a wide water buffer and consistent views from the rear of the property.
