Tiger Woods: Say good-gye to "Privacy"

Tiger Woods, Jupiter Island's most celebrated resident, has been stirring up dust around here since he bought some estates and combined them into a compound.  Then built another compound in Jupiter for his mother.
Last week we learned his ex-wife purchased a home in North Palm Beach for $ 12.2 million where his cubs can make sand castles on the beach beyond the reach of even the longest telephoto lens.

Today, the Internet is buzzing with news that he may sell his 155ft. yacht "Privacy" and is shopping for a broker to list it at a reported $ 25 million.


He has had the yacht docked in North Palm Beach since his domestic troubles started and even though he covered the name on the vessel, it is hard to hide a boat this size.

The part of Florida is a great place to live!  Find out why people like Tiger who can live anywhere choose Coastal Florida Real Estate.  You can see all homes for sale in this area at Coastal Florida Real Estate or for personal service call me at 561-762-4073.  Unlike many Realtors, I have lived in this area for 20 years and can show you the best values and locations.

Jupiter Island homes, what makes them unique?

Jupiter Island homes offer you the chance to live in one of the most unique places in the country if not the world.  Jupiter Island is a barrier island just off the coast of Tequesta and Hobe Sound and stretches from the Jupiter Inlet on the south end to the St. Lucie Inlet on the north end.

Real estate on Jupiter Island is some of the priciest around due to the unique combination or oceanfront living, massive home sites, mature and luxurious landscapes, no traffic and a vigilant police force.  People who can afford to live anywhere in the world choose Jupiter Island.  Some examples are Greg Norman, Alan Jackson, Tiger Woods, Lou Gerstner, Richard Fuld and Celine Dion.  There is also a lot of old money tucked discreetly behind the high hedges.

You can see all Jupiter Island homes for sale at Coastal Florida Real Estate or for personal service call me at 561-762-4073.  I have lived here for 20 years and can show you the best properties.  But before we look at homes, you might be prepared to produce some financial documentation supporting your ability to buy a home in the millions.

Jupiter Island offers a quiet retreat for the privileged few

Jupiter Island has long been a quiet winter retreat for a privileged few.  Stretching for several miles from Jupiter Inlet Colony on the southern tip with its views of the famous Jupiter Lighthouse and the Jupiter Inlet, past the Blowing Rocks Preserve, the Island offers unmatched waterfront estate locations all the way to the Hobe Sound connection at Bridge Road.


The main road is called Beach Road and it is the only road until you get quite far up the Island and the road splits for the last mile or so.  One side continues along the beach, the other goes past the Jupiter Island Club.

Homes on Jupiter Island are either located directly on the ocean or face the Intracoastal Waterway.  A few choice parcels, like Greg Norman's house, go completely through the Island from water to water.
