Property Story
Some homes are close to the water. This one comes with a front-row seat to it, and a way out to it that most of the coast can’t offer.
Ocean Cove is a boutique, gated enclave of just 22 custom estates tucked between Boca Raton and Delray Beach, built by Jeff Norman and designed around a simple idea: privacy without compromise. Residents here step onto deeded beach access 355 feet from their own front door, dock a boat at the community’s private Intracoastal marina, and head out to open water without a single fixed bridge standing in the way. For anyone who’s ever timed a sunset cruise around a bridge schedule, that last part isn’t a footnote. It’s the whole point.
Inside, 4044 S Ocean Blvd carries the same unhurried confidence. Ceilings soar over a first-floor guest suite, and light moves through the home the way it should in South Florida: freely. The kitchen is built for people who actually cook, with Wolf appliances, a separate Sub-Zero fridge and freezer, dual dishwashers, and custom cabinetry. Out back, the pool, covered lanai, and fully equipped summer kitchen turn the yard into the kind of room you use every day, not just for company.
The details reward a closer look: a private elevator added during original construction, designer chandeliers, gold-plated fixtures, custom closet systems, an upgraded balcony. Impact windows and doors throughout, a 2020 AC system, and a 2024 water heater mean the big-ticket items are already handled.
This is deep-water boating and beachside living without the trade-offs, minutes from Boca Raton and Delray Beach’s dining, shopping, golf, and top schools, but sealed off behind a gate and 24-hour security once you’re home.
Boating & Waterfront Features
Highland Beach is one of South Florida’s quieter luxury addresses, a slim barrier island town wedged between the energy of Boca Raton and Delray Beach without absorbing the traffic of either. It’s known for a handful of small gated communities like Ocean Cove, deep-water canals with true ocean access, and a walkable, low-density feel that’s increasingly rare on this stretch of coast.
