Our love of water views is hardwired into our very being. Tens of thousands of years ago, early human migration essentially began as “a long walk on the beach,” populating the world by wandering its coastlines. No wonder the echoes of humankind’s first great adventure linger in our souls. These exclusive homes have been designed for ultimate comfort, framing spectacular views of the water.
The waterfront lifestyle delivers a feeling of incomparable escapism. Whether ocean, sea or lake, few locations offer more opportunities for recreation and relaxation as those set against the backdrop of the world’s most beautiful bodies of water.
Shoreline estates always seem to have a certain nautical flair; with spectacular views and refreshing sea breezes, and of course, private docks for sailboats and yachts, their appeal is undeniable. These properties embody the luxury, adventure and timeless glamour of living on the water.
From dazzling beach and oceanfront compounds to showstopping views of the water and wildlife along the shore from lakeside or beachfront villas, waterfront homes capture the splendor and priceless beauty of water. Coastal properties are meticulously designed for the affluent buyer who cherishes the sun and sky.
