12994 SE PAPAYA Street, Hobe Sound, FL 33455

Half an acre. R-2B zoning. No HOA. No restrictions. Opportunities like this have all but disappeared in South Florida, and this one comes fully renovated. Set across from the Intracoastal Waterway, with the Atlantic just beyond, this Hobe Sound retreat was made for boaters, anglers, and anyone who wants room to live on their own terms. The fenced and cross-fenced homesite also has 100 feet of US-1 frontage. The home is built to last, with CBS construction, a 2017 metal roof, full impact glass, and a whole-house generator hookup. Inside, the kitchen has quartz waterfall countertops and brand-new Samsung smart appliances, and porcelain tile runs throughout. The spa-inspired baths are finished in floor-to-ceiling porcelain with oversized walk-in showers. A flex room with its own half bath and private entrance works as an office, guest room, or third bedroom. Screened front and back porches extend the living space outdoors. Then there's the workshop. This is no ordinary garage. It is a massive two-story CBS structure, 20 by 42 feet (840 sq ft), with three-phase electric, fully plumbed and wired. It's built for serious work: heavy-duty tools, boat and engine projects, car restoration, or fabrication, and it's a contractor's dream. The second level adds room for storage, a studio, or a gym. The lot is RV, boat, truck, and trailer friendly, with parking for multiple vehicles and vessels and room for a pool. Jonathan Dickinson State Park is minutes away, with Loxahatchee River kayaking, trails, and camping. Hobe Sound Beach and Blowing Rocks Preserve are just over the bridge. Jupiter and Stuart are each about 20 minutes away. It's a water-lover's lifestyle in one of Martin County's best-kept secrets, and properties like it rarely come to market.
