"Eden Beach Retreat" (953 SE MacArthur Blvd, Stuart FL)
7BR/7BA Ocean-to-River Estate; offered at $5.95 million
Stuart FL: "America's Best Coastal Small Town" — USA Today, 2024 National Winner
There are beachfront homes. There are riverfront homes. And then there is Eden Beach Retreat—an extraordinarily rare ocean-to-river estate where you own both the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway.
Situated on a beach known by locals as "Eden Beach", the home is on a sprawling double lot with 110 linear feet of combined ocean and river frontage. This magnificent 7-bedroom, 7-bath CBS residence offers nearly 5,000 square feet of luxury living and a private dock, all just one mile north of the St. Lucie Inlet.
Located in Stuart, Florida—named USA Today's 2024 #1 "Best Coastal Small Town in America"—this is one of the Treasure Coast's most exceptional residential offerings.
Because Hutchinson Island is exceptionally narrow at this location, Eden Beach Retreat enjoys something almost impossible to duplicate: breathtaking panoramic water views in every direction.
Expansive picture windows frame both sunrise over the Atlantic and sunset across the Intracoastal, creating spectacular 360-degree water vistas throughout the home. Few properties on Hutchinson Island—and arguably throughout South Florida—can rival its dramatic setting.
Architectural details include handcrafted Mexican tile flooring, elegant crown moulding, soaring ceilings, and walls of glass that bring the outdoors and light into nearly every room.
Wake each morning to one of North America's richest coastal ecosystems.
Watch dolphins play in the river, sea turtles cruise the shoreline, and manatees gather beside your private dock—often close enough to touch with your eyes. The surrounding waters of the Indian River Lagoon create a front-row seat to an unforgettable wildlife experience that few waterfront homes can offer. (To view a recent video of a herd of manatees enjoying Eden Beach Retreat's tranquil waters, click here, or look up this video on Youtube: "The Ultimate Backyard Guests: A Herd of Manatees Visits the Docks!")
Enjoy the freedom of no HOA while receiving the benefits of a world-class resort.
Included with the home through 2030 is access to the renowned Indian River Plantation / Marriott Hutchinson Island Beach Resort, located just one mile away. Membership privileges include:
- 18-hole golf course
- More than a dozen tennis and pickleball courts
- Three resort-style swimming pools
- Two fully equipped fitness centers
The result is a lifestyle that combines the privacy of a luxury estate with the recreation and amenities of an exclusive coastal resort.
Eden Beach Retreat is more than a home—it's one of Florida's rarest waterfront opportunities, where extraordinary architecture, uncompromising construction, spectacular views, and an unmatched coastal lifestyle come together in a truly irreplaceable setting.
This beach home can serve as your official Florida-based tax domicile/residence, seasonal vacation home, weekly vacation rental, or as a hybrid of all three.
Considering this ocean-to-river masterpiece as an investment property? Or planning to rent it out when you are not present? Good news: "Eden Beach Retreat" qualifies for IRS sec. 1031 exchange, and the current owner lists the property on AirBnB, Vrbo and other rental platforms, where gross receipts totaled $345,000 for the 12 months ended June 30, 2026. Historical reports and supporting documentation is available upon request, to qualified buyers. (Contact listing agent.) Future reservations can convey with the home, at the buyer's option. (If the buyer does not elect this option, future tenants will be re-booked at other homes through the vacation-rental property management company.)
953 SE MacArthur Blvd is a turnkey opportunity on a rare direct oceanfront fee-simple parcel with rental history & upside potential. Investors enjoy the ultimate in true oceanfront living, and the proven rental performance of Stuart's top luxury beach estates. With panoramic oceanfront views, premium amenities, and unmatched dual‑waterfront access, this property delivers both lifestyle and long‑term income power.
As one of the most successful vacation rentals in the entire state, the home is extremely popular and therefore often booked. Viewings are by appointment only with the listing agent. Please do not disturb occupants (vacation-rental guests or longer-term tenants).
The property is owned by a SE Florida professional real-estate firm that owns more than two dozen oceanfront homes and "ocean-to-river" residential properties located on Florida's Treasure Coast, near Stuart FL. Located in Martin County FL, less than an hour north of legendary Palm Beach and the West Palm Beach International Airport, Stuart FL is the winner of USA Today's "America's Best Small Coastal Town" designation (2024 #1 national award winner, and finished 2nd place 2026).
The company is selectively selling the portfolio's "only child" properties—homes that are not adjacent to any other property owned by the firm—and redeploying the proceeds into contiguous acquisitions.
Welcomed by dozens of vacationing families each year, "Eden Beach Retreat" is meticulously maintained to a like-new standard, and is in move-in ready condition.
All visitors to the home must have an advance appointment booked with the listing agent. All unannounced visitors are considered trespassers; tenants are urged to report unscheduled visitors to the police as trespassers immediately upon their arrival.
