Sailfish Point, an exclusive community of homes nestled between three bodies of water at the southernmost tip of Hutchinson Island, has one of the most unique locations in Florida. With the Atlantic Ocean to the east, the St. Lucie Inlet at the island’s southwest corner and the Indian River to the west, Sailfish Point’s aqua-blue views from all sides truly take your breath away. Considering the mantra of the real estate business – Location, Location, Location – the 532-acre community could certainly reel in any potential homebuyers based simply on its placement. Sailfish Point, however, offers so much more than just an enviable position.
The par-72 private golf course boasts 18 holes of Jack Nicklaus Signature golf and was named in Golf Digest’s “Top Ten Best Remodeled Courses” for 2008. It was completely remodeled in 2007 by its original designer, Jack Nicklaus himself.
“Each hole has water. Some have the ocean, a lake or the river, and some holes offer views of all three bodies of water that envelop Sailfish Point,” said Kristen Cheskaty, the broker and managing partner of Sailfish Point Sotheby’s International Realty.
As we toured the community and surveyed the course, Cheskaty remarked that play begins just off the driving range. Winding along the slim island, the course naturally concludes at the 18th hole, which has been nicknamed “Window to the Sea” for its stunning view of the Atlantic Ocean.
Located just to the north of the final hole is the oceanfront clubhouse; also newly renovated, the 60,000-square-foot building houses two restaurants and a lounge – all with glass walls that offer truly spectacular views of the ocean – along with a fitness center, a spa with a hair and nail salon, and a beach and tennis club.
“The Beach Club serves lunch and dinner in a casual environment, while the Ocean Room is a little more on the formal side,” Cheskaty explained. “The clubhouse spa also offers a full menu of services and our fitness center is staffed with certified trainers.”
