Live. Play. Recreate. Create. . . in your own Florida Beach House. "Art on the Beach" - known in our area as "The Art House" and is perched high atop an oceanfront sand dune, so close to the ocean that a child can toss a tennis ball into the water from the deck. With 8 bedrooms + 5 baths (including 3 w/en-suite bathrooms), this beautiful oceanfront -and- riverfront beach house is packed with features to delight everyone in your large family or group across all ages.
Plus: Directly across the street lies your own private SECOND beach paradise, with riverfront recreation area: grill, picnic tables, fire pit, tiki bar, boat launch & private dock onto the pristine Indian River Estuary. This treasure is the most bio-diverse estuary in North America, teeming with 3400 species of marine life including dolphin, manatee, sea turtles & more (Source: Florida Oceanographic Institute)
Why the emphasis on the arts? A famed local architect & his wife designed & built this home to be their primary residence in retirement. Famous in South Florida for building much of the city of Boca Raton plus many celebrity-owned island retreats in the Caribbean, this well-traveled couple envisioned the home as an imaginative/inspirational place that arouses creativity, electrifies the senses, & is both relaxing & fun AND a place to which the children & grandchildren would enjoy returning to year after year. Now you, too, can share their vision & soak up all the creative energy that this gorgeous luxury beach estate continues to radiate.

Not only is the home situated in the most biodiverse marine environment in North America, but it's also located in Stuart FL, Winner of the "America's Happiest Seaside Town" award given annually by Coastal Living Magazine (locals of a certain age that remember TV's "The Andy Griffith Show" proudly call Stuart the "Mayberry of Florida")
Nervous about alligators? Don't be: They don't exist in this part of Florida. (Gators can't survive near the beach in saltwater environments; they live only inland, where there is plenty of fresh water) At BHIP, both the river & ocean are salty.
