The SanctuaryLuxury Homes
Private client advisory within one of South Florida's most exclusive gated estates — Forbes-ranked, marina-accessed, and available only through qualified representation.
South Florida's Most Exclusive Gated Address
Tucked behind a single guarded entry along the Intracoastal Waterway in East Boca Raton, The Sanctuary is among the most coveted private communities in all of South Florida. Forbes has recognized it as one of the Top 10 most expensive gated communities in America — a distinction earned through the extraordinary scale and character of its roughly 55 estate homes.
Residences range from $3M to $25M+, situated on deep-water lots with direct Intracoastal and ocean access. The community's private marina accommodates vessels up to 100 feet, and properties routinely feature private docks, resort-caliber pools, and refined interior finishes that rival the world's premier addresses.
Because The Sanctuary rarely sees open-market inventory, most transactions occur through private channels. Luxury Premier Estates maintains active relationships within the community — offering qualified buyers access before properties are publicly listed.
Waterfront Living at Its Finest
Life within The Sanctuary revolves around the water. The community's private 20-slip deep-water marina accommodates vessels of considerable scale, offering direct Intracoastal access — ideal for owners who demand seamless passage between the ICW and the Atlantic.
Beyond the marina, residents enjoy private tennis courts, a community clubhouse, and the unmatched privacy of a single-entry guard gate that has consistently attracted the world's most discerning buyers.

Why The Sanctuary Endures
Forbes-Recognized Prestige
Ranked among America's Top 10 most expensive gated communities by Forbes, The Sanctuary carries an institutional pedigree that protects and appreciates asset value through market cycles.
Deep-Water Marina Access
The private 20-slip marina — capable of accommodating large vessels — is a defining amenity unavailable in most South Florida communities at any price point. It significantly elevates property values.
Scarcity & Off-Market Liquidity
With approximately 55 estate homes and historically low turnover, The Sanctuary's inventory scarcity drives competitive pricing. Most transactions occur off-market through established representation.
