Along one of West Palm Beach’s most tightly held waterfront corridors, a newly listed estate known as the “Jewel of South Flagler” is quietly commanding attention.

Located at 101 Palmetto Lane, the Intracoastal-front property recently hit the market for $26.25 million, offering more than half an acre of prime waterfront land with over 130 feet of direct frontage.

In a neighborhood where turnover is rare and architecture matters, the estate stands out as a trophy offering.

The property is being sold by investor Edward Ewing and listed by Cara Conglio McClure and Lisa Wilkinson with Douglas Elliman, and immediately ranks among the most architecturally significant offerings currently available in South Flagler.

South Flagler has long been prized for its wide water views, mature landscaping, and proximity to Palm Beach, but true waterfront parcels of this size have become increasingly scarce.

Set on approximately 0.57 acres, the estate at 101 Palmetto Lane stretches along a broad section of the Intracoastal Waterway, offering uninterrupted views and a sense of separation from neighboring properties that’s difficult to replicate today.

Stately architecture, refined over time

Originally envisioned by Roy & Posey Architects and completed by Island Construction in 2013, the residence has since undergone a full transformation led by Robert Trown and Associates.

The result is a home that feels cohesive and intentional, with architecture and interiors working in lockstep.

Rather than overwriting the original vision, the redesign elevates it — sharpening lines, refining materials, adding bold pieces and accents, and emphasizing light, flow, and proportion throughout.

A main residence and guest house spanning more than 9,000 square feet under roof

The estate spans approximately 9,000 square feet under roof, with 6,658 square feet of interior living space, and is composed of a main residence paired with a detached guest house.

Vibrant interiors that are not afraid of bold colors, textures, and prints

The primary home includes five bedrooms, five bathrooms, and two half baths, including a first-floor bedroom currently used as a private office. The guest house adds a separate one-bedroom living space with a full kitchen, vaulted ceilings, and its own private balcony overlooking the grounds.

Together, the layout offers flexibility without sacrificing privacy or design continuity.

Living spaces that easily flow from one room to the next

Inside the main residence, the floor plan is designed to keep the Intracoastal in view.

An open family room flows directly into the eat-in kitchen, while the formal dining room frames the water beyond. Expansive glass doors open to covered loggias, creating a seamless rhythm between indoor and outdoor spaces.

A kitchen anchored by a rare blue sodalite island

The kitchen serves as a visual and functional centerpiece, outfitted with imported custom Italian cabinetry and a dramatic rare blue sodalite stone island.

Rather than overwhelming the space, the materials are used with restraint, allowing texture and color to provide definition without dominating the room.

With a bright and colorful breakfast nook

The kitchen connects naturally to both the family room and outdoor dining areas, reinforcing the home’s emphasis on everyday livability. And for added convenience, it features a sizable breakfast nook for when the dining room is just too fancy.

A light-filled primary suite with balcony and panoramic views

Upstairs, the owner’s suite is positioned to capture wide Intracoastal views, with large windows and direct access to a private balcony.

The space feels intentionally airy and uncluttered, with designer finishes and custom lighting that add character without excess. It’s a retreat that feels connected to the landscape rather than removed from it.

Outdoor living with dock and boat lift

Outdoors, the property lives like a private resort.

A heated pool and spa are surrounded by generous terraces for lounging and dining, while the backyard is anchored by an artistic living wall that adds texture and privacy.

The private dock includes a 50,000-pound boat lift, capable of accommodating substantial vessels — a rare feature even among South Flagler homes.

Whether viewed from the house or the water, the grounds feel composed and serene.

The detached guest house offers true independence, with its own entry, full kitchen, studio-style living and sleeping space, and vaulted ceilings.

A private balcony overlooks the property, making it well suited for extended stays, visiting family, or use as a creative or work-from-home retreat — all without disrupting the main residence.

Minutes from Palm Beach, Mar-a-Lago, and the Flagler waterfront path

The estate is located just minutes from area beaches, dining, shopping, and the Flagler Drive waterfront path, with Mar-a-Lago roughly 0.9 miles away.

Palm Beach International Airport is also nearby, adding convenience to what is otherwise a very private residential setting.

A defining property in South Flagler’s next chapter

In a market increasingly shaped by new construction and density pressures, properties like 101 Palmetto Lane have become rarer — not just for their land, but for their architectural clarity.

The “Jewel of South Flagler” isn’t trying to reinvent the neighborhood. It already embodies what made it desirable in the first place: scale, water, design, and restraint, all in balance. Plus, some striking designer interiors that are bound to seal the deal.
