The basics: Nearly 12,000 square feet; 6 bedrooms, 7 baths, 3 half-baths

The story: The coveted community of Stone Creek Ranch provides the exclusive backdrop for this epic waterfront property brimming with stately splendor and modern majesty. Cast amid Georgian-inspired architecture, the sprawling estate strikes an impressive balance between timeless elegance, sophisticated comfort and artisanal wonder. The heated Olympic-style saltwater pool, for example, is further elevated by an original sculpture from artist David Harper—a striking sphere that symbolizes the Earth and its ecosystem. The impeccably manicured lakefront property, spanning 2.6 acres, also boasts an in-ground spa, an area for croquet, and a tennis court (and half-basketball court). Each bedroom suite is generously proportioned, including a first-floor VIP suite and a mammoth second-level primary suite with a private balcony, fireplace and separate baths, closets and dressing rooms. The functional, open floor plan includes a chef’s kitchen with custom cabinetry and state-of-the-art appliances. An artful lighting fixture by The Palm Chandelier adds a regal touch to a conservatory room that’s perfect for afternoon tea.

Bonus highlights: A wellness suite with sauna, massage room and gym; a grand home theater with cutting-edge audio and seating for 10; a library; a craft/hobby area; a playroom; a six-car garage; and Crestron home automation.

The story: A true South Florida original, this custom-designed grand penthouse at prestigious Auberge Beach Residences & Spa encompasses two full floors—with 360-degree views of the Atlantic Ocean, Intracoastal Waterway and the city of Fort Lauderdale. The reconfigured floor plan, brimming with designer details and luxurious finishes, takes full advantage of the backdrop with dramatic floor-to-ceiling high-impact windows. The gourmet kitchen boasts state-of-the-art appliances and custom millwork. Residents also can take a private entry elevator to the 17th or 18th floor.

Bonus highlights: The rooftop overlooking the ocean and 450 linear feet of pristine beachfront features a separate living room and kitchenette, a powder room—and a private plunge pool on the sprawling terrace. Penthouse residents also have access to exclusive 500-square-foot poolside cabana with full bath and lounging area. Amenities at Auberge Beach include a wine tasting salon, fitness center, resort-style pools, a club room with billiards and gaming tables, and a cigar lounge—and the on-site restaurant Dune by Laurent Tourondel.

Fort Lauderdale

The basics: More than 7,600 square feet; 6 bedrooms, 8 full baths, 1 half-bath

The story: A stylish sense of residential cool jumps off the renderings of this new waterfront build (expected to be ready by the fourth quarter of this year) just south of Las Olas Boulevard. Designed with modern architectural flair, expect the open concept to carry a seamless flow from space to space. Custom features like imported doors with concealed hinges, natural stone flooring (on the main floor) and European oak throughout the balance of the home add to the vibe of elevated comfort. Expect plenty of outdoor entertaining given the 45-foot saltwater pool and built-in summer kitchen. Boaters will have quick access to the New River/Port Everglades.

Bonus highlights: The estate will feature a spacious gym, a game room/study, an air-conditioned three-car garage (with lifts to accommodate six cars), and Savant full-home lighting, audio, video surveillance and climate control.
