        <title>Golf and Water Views Together: A Rare Setting at 162 Commodore Drive</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 



In Admirals Cove, most properties ask buyers to choose. Some homes overlook the golf course. Others sit along the water. Very few offer both at the same time.


162 Commodore Drive is one of those rare exceptions. In Rob Thomson's latest listing video, he walks through what makes this Golf Course Estate Home stand apart, starting with a setting that captures sweeping golf course views and water views from the same property. It is a combination that seldom comes together in Admirals Cove, and it sets the tone for everything else this residence offers.


Listed for $11,000,000, 162 Commodore Drive features 4 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, 2 half bathrooms, and 5,913 square feet of living area in one of Jupiter's premier private club communities.





One of Only 39 Golf Course Estate Homes


There are only 39 Golf Course Estate Homes in all of Admirals Cove, and 162 Commodore Drive occupies one of the most desirable positions among them. Perfectly situated along a wide fairway, the home captures beautiful vistas framed by mature palms and meticulously maintained landscaping.


That limited supply matters. Estate homes on the golf course rarely become available, and a residence that pairs this setting with modern architecture, high-end finishes, and views of both the fairway and the water is rarer still.


Light-Filled Living Spaces With a Dramatic Entry


From the moment you step inside, the home makes an impression. A dramatic entry opens to light-filled living spaces with soaring ceilings and walls of glass that seamlessly connect the indoors to the outdoor living areas beyond.


The home was designed for both entertaining and everyday comfort. A stunning temperature-controlled wine display and entertaining bar anchor the gathering spaces, while the chef's kitchen flows effortlessly into the main living areas, keeping the home connected whether hosting a crowd or enjoying a quiet evening.


A Massive Primary Retreat


One of the defining features of 162 Commodore Drive is the scale of the primary suite. This is a true retreat within the home, offering the kind of space that immediately stands out, even among estate properties.


The suite includes dual custom closets and a spa-inspired bath, giving the primary residence-within-a-residence feel that luxury buyers look for. Spacious guest suites elsewhere in the home ensure that family and visitors enjoy the same level of comfort and privacy.


A Backyard Built for Resort-Style Living


Outside, the property delivers one of the most complete outdoor settings in the community. A resort-style pool and spa serve as the centerpiece of the backyard, complemented by expansive covered living areas, a summer kitchen, a fire feature, and even an outdoor shower.


Multiple spaces to relax, dine, and entertain all overlook the golf course, and the private setting creates an atmosphere rarely found within Admirals Cove. From morning coffee to evenings by the fire, the backyard was designed to be lived in, not just looked at.


The Admirals Cove Lifestyle


Beyond the property itself, 162 Commodore Drive places its next owner inside one of South Florida's premier private club communities. Admirals Cove is widely recognized for its world-class amenities, including 45 holes of championship golf, a full-service marina with direct ocean access, multiple dining venues, an expansive fitness and wellness center, tennis and pickleball facilities, and a private boutique hotel for members and guests.


It is a community built around recreation, security, connection, and convenience, all in one of Jupiter's most desirable locations.


A Rare Opportunity at 162 Commodore Drive


Golf course views and water views from the same property. A massive primary retreat. A fully outfitted resort-style backyard. Any one of these would make a home worth seeing. Together, in one of only 39 Golf Course Estate Homes in Admirals Cove, they make 162 Commodore Drive an exceptional opportunity.

        <title>A New Custom Waterfront Estate Rising in Admirals Cove</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 



Some opportunities in Admirals Cove are worth watching long before the finishing touches are complete. 404 Mariner Drive is one of them.


In Rob Thomson’s latest video, viewers get an early look at this new custom coastal contemporary waterfront estate through detailed renderings that reveal exactly what is coming: a residence of dramatic scale, refined design, and resort-style outdoor living on one of the community’s most unique oversized homesites, complete with direct Intracoastal access and no fixed bridges.


Priced at $17,500,000, 404 Mariner Drive offers 5 bedrooms, 7 full bathrooms, 3 half bathrooms, more than 8,000 square feet of air-conditioned living space, and over 10,300 square feet of total covered space, including an attached private guest residence.


Here is your first look at what is taking shape.





An Exceptionally Wide Estate Lot With Direct Intracoastal Access


The setting is what makes this opportunity so rare. 404 Mariner Drive is positioned on an exceptionally wide estate lot, one of the most unique oversized homesites in Admirals Cove. That scale gives the residence commanding curb appeal and room for the kind of outdoor amenities that simply cannot fit on a standard waterfront parcel.


For boaters, the location delivers one of the most important features in Jupiter real estate: direct Intracoastal access with no fixed bridges. It is the kind of waterfront positioning that serious yachtsmen seek out, in a community already celebrated for its boating lifestyle.


A Custom Coastal Contemporary Design


Designed with both elegance and functionality in mind, the home makes a striking first impression. An expansive motor court leads to a five-car garage, ideal for automotive enthusiasts and collectors, along with a dedicated golf cart garage for everyday club living.


A grand double-height entrance sets the tone for the architecture inside, where a thoughtfully curated floor plan balances luxurious everyday living with sophisticated entertaining. A state-of-the-art culinary kitchen anchors the main living areas, complete with an expansive scullery pantry, an elegant wet bar, and a glass wine room. A stunning custom glass office adds another layer of sophistication to the home’s modern design.


A Private Primary Retreat and a Waterfront VIP Suite


The primary suite and a separate guest suite are both located on the first floor. The primary serves as a true private retreat, featuring his and her walk-in closets, separate water closets, and an outdoor shower designed to create a spa-like experience at home.


Upstairs, three additional bedrooms include a waterfront VIP suite, and each enjoys a private balcony with views of both the water and the resort-style pool below. Every bedroom in the home is en-suite, giving family and guests comfort and privacy throughout.


An Attached Private Guest Residence


One of the most distinctive features of 404 Mariner Drive is its attached private guest residence. Whether used for extended family, VIP guests, or live-in staff accommodations, it adds an exceptional level of luxury, privacy, and versatility while enhancing the estate’s overall grandeur and functionality.


Accommodations at this level seldom come together in a single Admirals Cove offering, and they speak to how thoroughly this home was designed around real luxury living.


Resort-Style Outdoor Living on a Grand Scale


The renderings of the backyard tell the story of what this oversized lot makes possible. An oversized covered lanai creates the ultimate outdoor entertaining environment, with a fireplace, full bar, expansive dining area, and built-in barbecue space overlooking the water.


Beyond the lanai, an enormous resort oasis-style pool features an infinity-edge spa, floating daybeds, and a relaxing sun shelf with a water feature. A waterfront fire pit gathering area and a private putting green complete the outdoor amenities, delivering a South Florida lifestyle that rivals the finest resorts.


The Admirals Cove Lifestyle


Admirals Cove continues to set the standard for luxury club living in South Florida. Residents enjoy 45 holes of championship golf, a full-service marina with direct ocean access, multiple dining venues, an expansive fitness and wellness center, tennis and pickleball facilities, and a private boutique hotel for members and guests.


For those seeking waterfront living, boating, golf, and a true private club environment in one address, Admirals Cove remains one of Jupiter’s most sought-after communities.


Why Early Interest Matters at 404 Mariner Drive


Custom estates of this caliber, on lots of this scale, with direct Intracoastal access and no fixed bridges, rarely reach completion without serious interest. Buyers who wait until the home is finished may find the opportunity has already passed.


404 Mariner Drive brings together a combination that is difficult to replicate in Admirals Cove: a new custom coastal contemporary design, an exceptionally wide estate lot, an attached private guest residence, a five-car garage, and resort-style outdoor amenities, all on deep water.

        <title>One of the Most Extensively Upgraded Homes in Artistry</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 



Some homes distinguish themselves through their setting. Others do it through what has been poured into them. At 13558 Artisan Circle in Palm Beach Gardens, the difference is apparent from the moment you step through the front door: this residence has been customized to a level rarely seen in Artistry, standing well above typical new construction. And here is the most remarkable part: the home has never been lived in.


That combination almost never comes to market. Buyers typically have to choose between brand-new condition and a fully customized interior. Here, the next owner gets both: an extraordinary level of upgrades already complete, in a home that is essentially untouched. In Rob Thomson's latest listing video, he takes viewers inside to show exactly what sets this property apart, from the completely redesigned chef's kitchen to the resort-inspired backyard.


Listed for $2,500,000, 13558 Artisan Circle offers 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, 1 half bathroom, and 3,539 square feet of living area in one of Palm Beach Gardens' most desirable gated communities.





A Completely Redesigned Chef's Kitchen


The centerpiece of the home is the chef's kitchen, which has been completely redesigned with custom cabinetry, premium appliances, and a level of craftsmanship rarely found in the community.


This is not a builder-standard kitchen with a few upgrades layered on. It is a fully reimagined space, executed with the kind of attention to detail that changes how the entire home lives. For buyers who cook, entertain, or simply want the heart of the home to make a statement, this kitchen delivers.


Designer Finishes and Thoughtful Customization Throughout


The elevated design does not stop at the kitchen. Throughout the residence, carefully selected materials, designer lighting, custom built-ins, and beautiful wallpaper come together to create a cohesive, sophisticated aesthetic that feels both warm and timeless.


So many details have been thoughtfully reimagined that the home reads more like a designer showcase than a production residence. The finishes, fixtures, and design choices work together from room to room, giving the next owner a truly turnkey, elevated living experience without the time, cost, and uncertainty of taking on that level of customization themselves.


A Resort-Inspired Backyard Built for South Florida Living


Outside, the backyard has been designed for effortless South Florida living. A beautiful pool anchors the space, while lush artificial turf and thoughtfully planned landscaping create a private, low-maintenance oasis that looks immaculate year-round.


Whether the day calls for a quiet afternoon by the pool or entertaining family and friends, the outdoor space is ready. And because it was designed with low maintenance in mind, it stays that way with minimal effort, a meaningful advantage for both full-time residents and seasonal owners.


In the Heart of Palm Beach Gardens


Artistry places residents in the heart of Palm Beach Gardens, with quick access to I-95 and the Florida Turnpike making travel throughout South Florida convenient. World-class golf courses, beautiful beaches, marinas, and countless parks and outdoor activities are all just minutes away.


Exceptional shopping and dining are equally close, including The Gardens Mall, Downtown at the Gardens, PGA Commons, and an endless selection of restaurants, boutiques, coffee shops, and entertainment. It is a location that keeps everyday life easy while placing the best of the Palm Beaches within reach.


The Artistry Lifestyle


Artistry is one of Palm Beach Gardens' most appealing gated communities, known for its modern architecture, amenity-rich atmosphere, and convenient location. For buyers seeking newer construction in a secure, well-planned neighborhood close to everything South Florida has to offer, Artistry continues to attract strong interest.


What makes 13558 Artisan Circle special within that setting is simple: homes customized to this degree seldom come to market here. Most buyers in the community choose between builder finishes or taking on upgrades themselves over time. This home offers a third path, with the work already done and done exceptionally well.


A Rare Opportunity at 13558 Artisan Circle


With its completely redesigned chef's kitchen, designer finishes throughout, custom built-ins, resort-inspired backyard, and never-lived-in condition, 13558 Artisan Circle stands as one of the most extensively upgraded homes in Artistry. It is a residence where the finishes, fixtures, and design choices come together to deliver a truly elevated living experience, ready for its very first owner to enjoy.


To learn more about 13558 Artisan Circle or to schedule a private showing, reach out to Rob Thomson at 561-346-1881.

        <title>A Renovated Waterfront Harbor Home Steps From the Admirals Cove Club</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 



In Admirals Cove, the harbor homes have always appealed to a particular kind of buyer: someone who wants the water, the boat, and the Club close at hand, without the upkeep of a large estate. 301 Captains Way delivers exactly that, and it does it in a home that has just been renovated from top to bottom.


In Rob Thomson's latest listing video, he walks through a residence that is genuinely move-in ready. The kitchen is new and custom. The appliances are the latest and greatest. The dock is out back with a 40,000-pound lift, ready for the boat. There is nothing left to plan, permit, or wait on.


Priced at $3,500,000, 301 Captains Way offers 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and 2,469 square feet of living area with long water views in one of Jupiter's most desirable private club communities.





Renovated With a Clean, Contemporary Design


The home has been thoughtfully renovated throughout, with a clean, contemporary design that feels current without feeling cold. Spacious open living areas connect naturally to one another, and the updated baths carry the same level of finish as the rest of the home.


Large walls of glass are one of the defining features. They fill the interiors with natural light while framing the picturesque waterfront views across the main living spaces, so the water is part of the experience from nearly everywhere you sit.


A Custom Kitchen and an Entertaining Bar Built for Hosting


The kitchen is the centerpiece of the renovation. Custom cabinetry and high-end appliances give the space the performance and polish buyers expect at this level, and its position within the open living areas keeps the cook connected to the conversation.


Just beyond it, an elegant entertaining bar adds a distinct destination within the home. Dual wine refrigerators and illuminated floating display shelves make it a natural gathering point for family and friends, whether the evening starts before dinner or continues long after.


A Private Dock With a 40,000-Pound Lift


For boaters, the dock is the headline. A private dock with a 40,000-pound boat lift sits directly behind the home, offering the kind of setup that makes spontaneous days on the water genuinely easy.


The long water view is the other half of the equation. It gives the property a sense of openness and a peaceful backdrop from inside the home and from the outdoor spaces, and it is a view that harbor home buyers in Admirals Cove consistently look for.


Steps From the Club


Location within Admirals Cove matters, and 301 Captains Way is positioned about as well as a harbor home can be. The Admirals Cove Club is a short walk or golf cart ride away, which means golf, tennis, pickleball, fitness, the marina, and fine dining are all part of everyday life rather than a drive across the community.


That proximity is what makes this home live the way buyers imagine the Admirals Cove lifestyle should: boat in the morning, lunch at the Club, dinner without ever getting in the car.


Move-In Ready in Every Sense


A great deal of what makes this property compelling is what the next owner does not have to do. The renovation is complete. The kitchen, the baths, the appliances, and the finishes are all new. The dock and lift are in place.


For buyers who want the Admirals Cove waterfront lifestyle now, without a renovation timeline standing between them and the water, 301 Captains Way is ready today.


The Admirals Cove Lifestyle


Admirals Cove continues to set the standard for private club living in South Florida. The community is known for its world-class amenities, including 45 holes of championship golf, a full-service marina with direct ocean access, multiple dining venues, an expansive fitness and wellness center, tennis and pickleball facilities, a spa, a private boutique hotel for members and guests, and 24-hour manned security.


It is a community built around boating, recreation, convenience, and connection, all in one of Jupiter's most desirable locations.


A Rare Waterfront Opportunity at 301 Captains Way


With a completed renovation, a custom kitchen, an entertaining bar, long water views, a private dock with a 40,000-pound lift, and a position steps from the Club, 301 Captains Way brings together the features harbor home buyers ask for most, and it does so without asking anyone to wait.

        <title>Rare Blue Water Views and a Private Boat Slip in the Heart of Tequesta</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 



At 19932 Scrimshaw Way in Tequesta, the water takes center stage. From the main living spaces to the primary suite, the home is oriented around a wide, open stretch of the Intracoastal in the famous Bahamian blue that has come to define this part of the coast.


In Rob Thomson’s latest listing video, he focuses on what makes this property so unusual: a private boat slip paired with true wide-water Intracoastal frontage in Tequesta, a combination that seldom comes available, and even more seldom at this level. Positioned as an end unit on the furthest south end of Scrimshaw On The Bay, the home captures the longest, most dramatic water views in the community, along with a degree of privacy that interior units simply cannot match.


Listed at $2,200,000, this home offers 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, 1 half bathroom, and 2,214 square feet of living area, complete with a private boat slip and one of the most striking wide-water settings in all of Tequesta.





The Longest Wide-Water Views in the Community


Wide-water frontage is what sets 19932 Scrimshaw Way apart. Positioned at the far south end of Scrimshaw On The Bay, this end-unit townhouse looks out over an expansive, open stretch of the Intracoastal, capturing the longest and most dramatic views in the community.


The Bahamian blue water that Jupiter and Tequesta are known for becomes the backdrop for everyday living here, visible from the main living spaces and carrying through to the outdoor areas. The end-unit placement also delivers exceptional privacy, giving the home an open, uninterrupted feel that is difficult to find at this price point.


A Private Boat Slip and the Tequesta Boating Lifestyle


For buyers drawn to the water, the private boat slip is one of the property’s most valuable features. Able to accommodate up to a 20-foot boat, it makes the Intracoastal an extension of everyday living, whether that means a morning on the water, an afternoon of cruising, or an easy evening trip to one of the area’s waterfront restaurants.


A wide-water setting with a private slip is a rare pairing in Tequesta, and it places this home squarely within the coastal, boat-friendly lifestyle that makes this stretch of Palm Beach County so desirable.


Move-In Ready and Meticulously Maintained


Beautifully kept and meticulously maintained, 19932 Scrimshaw Way is one of those rare opportunities where the next owner can move right in and immediately begin enjoying the waterfront lifestyle. There is no renovation to plan and no waiting; the home is ready to be lived in and enjoyed from day one.


For buyers who want the wide-water views, the private slip, and the Tequesta location without taking on a project, the move-in-ready condition adds real, everyday value.


A Primary Suite With Blue Water Views


The spacious primary suite is perfectly positioned to take in the phenomenal blue water views straight from the bedroom. Waking up to the open Intracoastal and that signature blue water creates an incredible backdrop to everyday living and gives the suite a genuine sense of retreat.


It is the kind of detail that reinforces the entire appeal of the home: the water is not an occasional feature here, it is part of daily life.


The Tequesta Lifestyle


Located in the heart of Tequesta, 19932 Scrimshaw Way places you moments from some of the area’s best restaurants, shopping, golf courses, and waterfront dining. Tequesta has long been one of the coast’s most sought-after communities, offering a relaxed, upscale coastal feel while keeping the best of Jupiter and northern Palm Beach County close at hand.


Whether the day calls for time on the water, a round of golf, dinner by the Intracoastal, or simply enjoying the view from home, this address puts the coastal lifestyle within easy reach.


A Rare Opportunity at 19932 Scrimshaw Way


Wide-water views, a private boat slip, an end-unit position with exceptional privacy, and a move-in-ready interior rarely come together in a single Tequesta property, and rarely at this level. For buyers seeking a genuine waterfront lifestyle in one of the coast’s most desirable communities, 19932 Scrimshaw Way deserves serious attention.

        <title>Rob Thomson Takes the Stage at Rock the Market Palm Beach: The Power of Social Media in Luxury Real Estate</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 



When 900 real estate professionals gathered for the sold-out Rock the Market Palm Beach event, hosted by MIAMI REALTORS® + RWorld, the conversation centered on the trends, data, and strategies shaping the future of the industry. Industry leaders, market analysts, economists, and innovators shared the stage throughout the day, and Rob Thomson was among the voices attendees came to hear.


Rob's message was direct: social media has become one of the most powerful tools in real estate, and the numbers behind his own business prove it.


Reaching Millions of People Every Month


In the clip above, Rob shares a statistic that puts the reach of social media into perspective. Over the last 30 days alone, 3 million people viewed his social media content, supported by a following of more than 105,000. And as Rob explains, that reach compounds. Build consistently, without stopping, and you are suddenly talking to 3, 4, even 5 million people a month.


His challenge to the audience said it all: show me a magazine or newspaper that can do that. Traditional media simply cannot match that kind of scale, which is why Rob describes social media as having a megaphone that reaches millions of people at once.


Real Reach, Real Results


Reach only matters if it translates into business, and for Rob, it does. As he shared on stage, social media directly generated an estimated $120 to $130 million in sales for him over the last year, along with countless new listings. Not a week goes by without a new listing or buyer coming to him through social media.


Rob also pointed to the growing role of AI alongside social media. Together, the two have become central to how he markets properties, connects with buyers and sellers, and stays in front of one of the most competitive luxury markets in the country.


Marketing That Works for Sellers


For homeowners in Jupiter, Admirals Cove, and throughout the Palm Beaches, the takeaway is simple: the way luxury real estate is marketed has changed. An audience of millions, engaged every single month, is a level of exposure that directly benefits sellers whose properties are put in front of it.

        <title>Inside a $23 Million Admirals Cove Sale: Max Scherzer's Waterfront Estate Trades Hands</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 



When a sale in Admirals Cove reaches the national real estate press, it is usually because something unusual happened. In April, The Real Deal and South Florida Business Journal reported on one of the most closely watched transactions of the year in Jupiter: Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Max Scherzer and his wife, Erica, sold their unfinished waterfront estate at 217 Commodore Drive for $23 million.


Rob Thomson of Waterfront Properties and Club Communities represented the buyers, Thomas and Kimberly Abrams of Northville, Michigan. Holly Meyer Lucas, Kimberly Thomson, and Courtney Payne of Compass held the listing.


The property sits on a roughly 0.7-acre lot with over 300 feet of water frontage, and the residence will span nearly 10,000 square feet once construction is complete. The Scherzers acquired the property in 2023 for $14.9 million, took the existing home down to the lot, and began building a new custom estate designed for the waterfront. With the construction contract included, the total deal value reaches $35 million.


Scherzer and his wife continue to own a waterfront residence on Commodore Drive that serves as their primary home, so the sale is not an exit from Admirals Cove.


Why Admirals Cove Keeps Making National Headlines


A decade ago, a $35 million deal in Jupiter would have been an outlier. Today, it is a data point in a much larger story.


The pandemic reshaped the map of American wealth, and northern Palm Beach County was one of its clearest beneficiaries. Florida's lack of a state income tax, the sudden portability of executive work, and a wave of finance and technology relocations from the Northeast and California turned Jupiter from a quiet coastal town into one of the most competitive luxury markets in the country. Buyers who once considered South Florida a seasonal indulgence began establishing primary residence here.


Admirals Cove sat directly in the path of that demand, and for good reason. It offers something very few communities can assemble in one place: deep-water dockage with direct ocean access through the Jupiter Inlet, 45 holes of championship golf, a full club operation, and a gated setting two miles from the Atlantic. Private club communities across the area saw waiting lists lengthen as demand outran supply, and Admirals Cove became one of the addresses buyers named before they ever toured a home.


Nobody Sells Admirals Cove Like Waterfront Properties


Admirals Cove is not a market an agent visits. It is a market an agent lives in, and Rob Thomson does both.


Rob is a Jupiter native who has spent more than three decades in this market, and he calls Admirals Cove home. He is a member of the club. He walks the community, knows the neighbors, and sits at the same dinner tables as the buyers and sellers who trade here. In a gated community of this caliber, that access is not a marketing line. It is the mechanism. The most significant deals in Admirals Cove are often known, discussed, and decided long before they reach a public listing portal, and they move through people who are already inside.


The results are not close. Over the twelve months ending May 2026, Waterfront Properties and Club Communities closed $215 million in total volume inside Admirals Cove. The next closest brokerage closed $43.9 million. That is a gap of more than $171 million, in a single gated community, in a single year. Waterfront represented 27 Admirals Cove buyers and sellers over that period, while the second-place firm represented 11.


This transaction is what that reach produces. Representing a buyer on an unfinished estate at this price point is not a matter of unlocking a door. It requires an accurate read of the lot, the plans, the builder, the timeline, the construction contract, and the finished value, all at once, on a property nobody can actually walk through. It requires knowing which streets carry the deepest water, how exposure changes the way a home lives, which lots are genuinely rare and which only look that way, and what the club membership process involves for an incoming owner.

The full story, including additional details on the transaction and the Scherzers' plans, was reported by The Real Deal and South Florida Business Journal.


Thinking About Admirals Cove?


Whether you are considering a finished residence, a new construction opportunity, a waterfront lot, or a home already under contract with a builder, Admirals Cove rewards buyers who understand the community from the inside.

        <title>A Rare Opportunity in Admirals Cove — Fully Renovated With a Private Boat Slip</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 



Admirals Cove is one of South Florida’s most coveted addresses, known for its waterfront estates, championship golf, and world-class club amenities. Every so often, a residence comes along that captures everything buyers love about the community — the lifestyle, the location, the access to the water — in a beautifully updated package that also happens to be one of the smartest opportunities on the market.


In Rob Thomson’s latest listing video, he highlights what makes 316 Spyglass Way so compelling: it is currently the lowest-priced listing in Admirals Cove, it has been fully updated and is completely move-in ready, and it comes with its own private boat dock just minutes from the Intracoastal.


Priced at $2,350,000, 316 Spyglass Way offers 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and 2,469 square feet of living area in one of Jupiter’s most sought-after private club communities.






A Rare Opportunity in a Premier Community


For those who appreciate everything Admirals Cove has to offer, 316 Spyglass Way is a standout. It is currently the lowest-priced listing in the community, yet it delivers the full Admirals Cove experience — the security, the amenities, the boating, and the club lifestyle — in a beautifully finished, turnkey residence.


Homes that pair this level of quality and setting with such a compelling price do not come along often, and they tend to draw attention quickly.


Beautifully Renovated and Move-In Ready


This contemporary Harbor Home condo has been beautifully renovated with high-end finishes throughout, giving it a stylish coastal feel from the moment you walk in.


Recent updates include custom cabinetry, impact-resistant windows and sliders, and elegant porcelain flooring with a rich wood-look design. The result is a bright, refined, and low-maintenance interior that is ready to enjoy right away, with no renovation or waiting required.


For buyers who want the Admirals Cove lifestyle in a home that is polished and complete, the residence delivers modern comfort and a sophisticated, contemporary aesthetic.


Golf Course Views and a Private Boat Slip


One of the standout features of 316 Spyglass Way is the setting. The residence enjoys tranquil golf course and driving range views, along with a side view of the canal where the unit’s private boat slip is conveniently located.


For boaters, that private slip is a significant advantage. It places the water within easy reach and sits just minutes from the Intracoastal, making it simple to get out on the water whenever the mood strikes. The combination of peaceful golf course views and direct water access is a rare and desirable pairing.


A Refreshed Spyglass Way Community


Spyglass Way has recently completed a major community enhancement project, adding another layer of value and peace of mind for the next owner. Improvements include new roofs, upgraded parking pavers, and fresh exterior painting, giving the neighborhood a refreshed and well-maintained feel.


Just steps from the residence, the private Spyglass Way pool offers a barbecue area and a fire pit, creating an inviting setting for relaxation and entertaining close to home.


Steps From the Club and Every Amenity


316 Spyglass Way is ideally located near the Clubhouse, championship golf course, tennis and pickleball courts, marina, and resort-style pool, placing the very best of Admirals Cove within easy reach.


That proximity makes everyday living effortless, whether you are heading out for a round of golf, meeting friends for dinner, spending the day at the marina, or simply enjoying the array of premier club amenities the community is known for.


The Admirals Cove Lifestyle


Admirals Cove continues to set the standard for luxury club living in South Florida. The community is widely recognized for its world-class amenities, including 45 holes of championship golf, a full-service marina with direct ocean access, multiple dining venues, an expansive fitness and wellness center, tennis and pickleball facilities, and a private boutique hotel for members and guests.


It is a community built around convenience, security, recreation, and connection, all in one of Jupiter’s most desirable locations.


A Rare Opportunity at 316 Spyglass Way


Fully renovated, move-in ready, and complete with a private boat slip minutes from the Intracoastal, 316 Spyglass Way brings together quality, setting, and smart pricing in a way that is difficult to find in Admirals Cove.


For buyers looking to own in one of Jupiter’s premier private club communities, this residence offers a rare combination of turnkey living, waterfront access, and an exceptional price. It is an opportunity that deserves serious attention.

        <title>A Grand Waterfront Estate Nearing Completion in Admirals Cove</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 



A brand-new waterfront estate in Admirals Cove is always worth watching closely. One that is the only model home in the community nearing completion is the kind of opportunity that rarely comes along, and even more rarely can be seen before the finishing touches are in place.


In Rob Thomson’s latest video, he shares a construction update on 369 Eagle Drive, a grand waterfront estate taking shape in one of Jupiter’s most prestigious gated communities. As the only model home approaching completion in Admirals Cove, it offers a rare chance to walk through a residence of this scale and quality before it is finished.


Priced at $23,000,000, 369 Eagle Drive will offer 7 bedrooms, 7 full bathrooms, 2 half bathrooms, and 9,692 square feet of living area—with a total building area of 11,298 square feet—along with 115 feet of waterfrontage and direct ocean access in the heart of Admirals Cove.





A Rare Chance to See a Model Home Before Completion


New construction homes of this caliber are difficult to find in Admirals Cove, and a residence this far along is even rarer. As the only model home nearing completion in the community, 369 Eagle Drive gives buyers the unusual advantage of experiencing the home’s scale, flow, and finishes firsthand rather than relying on plans and renderings alone.


Rob’s construction update offers a closer look at where the home stands today and what the finished estate will deliver. For buyers who want to secure a property before it is complete, this is a rare opportunity to act early on one of the community’s most significant new construction homes.


A Grand Arrival and Light-Filled Interiors


Upon completion, a gated motor court and grand entryway will welcome guests into the home, setting an immediate tone of privacy and arrival. Inside, light-filled interiors and soaring ceilings will create a sense of openness and scale throughout the main living areas.


Expansive living and dining areas will set the stage for sophisticated entertaining, while the layout is designed to move easily from one space to the next. It is a floor plan built for both elevated gatherings and the comfort of everyday living.


A Kitchen at the Heart of the Home


The kitchen will sit at the center of daily life in the home, flowing seamlessly into the family room and breakfast nook. This connected layout keeps the cooking, gathering, and casual dining spaces in conversation with one another, making the home feel both functional and welcoming.


For families and entertainers alike, it is the kind of open, connected design today’s luxury buyers are looking for in a waterfront estate.


Resort-Style Amenities Within the Home


Few homes offer the breadth of amenities planned for 369 Eagle Drive. A state-of-the-art gym and a private home theater are just two of the standout features that will give the residence the feel of a private resort.


An elevator will connect the home’s two levels, while thoughtful details throughout add to the sense of comfort, convenience, and everyday luxury that defines a home of this scale.


A Private Primary Retreat and Thoughtful First-Floor Living


The primary suite will serve as a private retreat, featuring a spa-like bath and a custom walk-in closet designed for both comfort and scale. Its placement gives the owners a quiet, dedicated space within the larger estate.


The first floor is designed for flexibility and ease, with additional amenities that include a guest suite, a private office, a mudroom, an elevator, and a laundry room. Together, these spaces make the main level highly livable for both residents and guests.


Upstairs Living for Family and Guests


Upstairs, an expansive loft will connect to five additional bedroom suites, a playroom, and guest quarters with a private balcony overlooking the water. The layout gives family members and guests their own private spaces while keeping them connected to the heart of the home.


A second laundry room and ample storage add to the home’s thoughtful design, reinforcing the kind of functionality that makes a residence of this size comfortable to live in day to day.


Outdoor Living and 115 Feet of Waterfront


Outdoor living will be equally impressive. A sprawling terrace, a beautiful pool, a covered loggia, and a full summer kitchen will create an exceptional setting for relaxing and entertaining against the backdrop of the water.


For boating enthusiasts, a private dock with 115 feet of waterfrontage will provide direct access to the ocean—one of the most sought-after features in Jupiter real estate. The landscape design is subject to change, ensuring a final setting that complements the home’s timeless architecture.


The Admirals Cove Lifestyle


Beyond the property itself, 369 Eagle Drive is located within Admirals Cove, one of Jupiter’s most sought-after private club communities. Residents enjoy access to a championship golf course, a tennis club, a full-service marina, and fine dining, along with the privacy and security the community is known for.


For buyers seeking a luxury waterfront home in a true private club setting, Admirals Cove continues to be one of the premier destinations in South Florida.


Why Now Is the Time to Secure 369 Eagle Drive


New construction homes of this scale often draw attention well before they are finished, and a model home this close to completion is especially rare. Buyers who wait until the estate is complete may find that the opportunity has already passed.


369 Eagle Drive offers a rare combination: new construction, 115 feet of waterfrontage, direct ocean access, resort-style amenities, and the chance to secure the only model home nearing completion in Admirals Cove. For buyers looking in the community, that combination is difficult to replicate.

        <title>Inside the Admirals Cove Estate Built by Céline Dion</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 



Every now and then, a home comes along that feels like it belongs somewhere else entirely. Walk through 370 Eagle Drive, and you could easily believe you had stepped into a Beverly Hills or Palm Beach mansion. Instead, this extraordinary estate sits within the gates of Admirals Cove, one of Jupiter’s most coveted waterfront communities.


In Rob Thomson’s latest listing video, he makes the case that this is a home they simply do not build anymore. From the architecture to the materials, no detail was spared and nothing was compromised. And there is a remarkable story behind that level of perfectionism: 370 Eagle Drive was custom-built as the Admirals Cove estate of music icon Céline Dion, who brought the same uncompromising attention to detail to this home that she brought to her career.


Offered at $20,000,000, the estate is set on approximately 0.65 acres — significantly larger than most homesites in the community — and offers 14,749 square feet of interior living area and 17,761 total square feet, a scale that is almost impossible to replicate in Jupiter’s luxury waterfront market. The residence features 8 bedrooms, 8 full bathrooms, and 3 half bathrooms, along with a private theater, grand entertaining spaces, a resort-style pool, and a private dock with direct access to the water.





A Celebrity-Built Estate Like No Other


There are luxury homes, and then there are homes with a story. 370 Eagle Drive belongs firmly in the second category. Custom-built in the late 1990s as the private Admirals Cove residence of Céline Dion, the estate was created with the kind of perfectionism that defined her work on stage and in the studio.


That spirit is felt throughout the home. The architecture is dramatic, the proportions are grand, and the materials reflect a level of quality that has become increasingly rare. This is not a home that was built to a budget or a timeline; it was built to a standard. For a buyer who appreciates craftsmanship, provenance, and the feeling of owning something truly singular, that history is part of what makes this property so special.


Estate-Sized Scale That’s Hard to Replicate


One of the most compelling aspects of 370 Eagle Drive is its sheer scale. The home sits on roughly 0.65 acres, a footprint considerably larger than most properties in Admirals Cove, and offers more than 14,000 square feet under air conditioning.


That combination of oversized land and oversized square footage creates an estate-sized feel that is genuinely difficult to find in Jupiter’s waterfront market. The result is a sense of openness, privacy, and grandeur from the moment you arrive, with expansive living spaces and a layout designed for both large-scale entertaining and comfortable everyday living.


Grand Interiors and a Private Theater


Inside, the home lives more like a private resort than a traditional residence. Grand entertaining areas flow from one to the next, creating a natural rhythm for hosting on any scale, from intimate dinners to large gatherings.


A dedicated private theater gives the home a true entertainment destination, while the dramatic architecture and elevated finishes carry through every room. The atmosphere is polished and impressive, yet still designed to be lived in and enjoyed. It is the rare estate that feels equally suited to a quiet evening at home and a memorable night with friends and family.


A Resort-Style Outdoor Experience


The outdoor living experience at 370 Eagle Drive is every bit as impressive as the interior. At its center is a spectacular resort-style pool, surrounded by a backyard designed to take full advantage of the South Florida climate.


Whether the goal is relaxing by the water, entertaining a crowd, or simply enjoying the warmth and light that define life in Jupiter, the outdoor spaces deliver the highest level of South Florida living. It is the kind of setting that turns an ordinary afternoon into something that feels like a getaway.


Private Dock and Direct Waterfront Access


For boating enthusiasts, the property includes a private dock with room for your boats and convenient access to the water. In a community defined by its boating lifestyle, that direct access is one of the most sought-after features a home can offer.


Admirals Cove is built around a network of navigable waterways and a full-service marina with access toward the Intracoastal and the Atlantic, making 370 Eagle Drive an ideal home base for life on the water.


The Admirals Cove Lifestyle


Beyond the estate itself, 370 Eagle Drive offers everything that has made Admirals Cove one of South Florida’s premier private club communities. Residents enjoy 45 holes of championship golf, a full-service marina with ocean access, multiple dining venues, an expansive fitness and wellness center, tennis and pickleball facilities, and a private boutique hotel for members and guests.


It is a community built around convenience, security, recreation, and connection, all in one of Jupiter’s most desirable locations. For buyers seeking a true private club environment with a world-class waterfront lifestyle, Admirals Cove remains one of the area’s most prestigious addresses.


A Rare Opportunity at 370 Eagle Drive


Oversized land. Estate-sized square footage. Dramatic architecture, a private theater, a resort-style pool, and a private dock. Add to that the rare distinction of a home custom-built by a global music icon, and 370 Eagle Drive becomes one of the most iconic luxury estates in all of Admirals Cove.


This is a rare chance to own a true statement property — one that combines scale, craftsmanship, history, and the exclusive waterfront lifestyle that has made Admirals Cove so special. For the right buyer, opportunities like this do not come along often.
