Top 5 Most Expensive Home Sales in Palm Beach County (2025)

Palm Beach County’s 2025 ultra-luxury market delivered a defining set of closings, from a North Palm Beach record in Lost Tree Village to legacy lakefront and oceanfront estates spanning Palm Beach, Manalapan, and Delray Beach.

With only 37 custom homesites across roughly 187 acres, Stone Creek Ranch has become a modern reference point for privacy, acreage, and architectural freedom in coastal Palm Beach County. This guard-gated Delray Beach community, just north of Clint Moore Road near the Boca Raton border, trades the country-club playbook for a landscape-first master plan of lakes, preserved greenbelt, and a walkable loop trail.

Wellington vs. Southwest Ranches: Choosing South Florida’s Equestrian Address

Two of South Florida’s most coveted horse-country zip codes offer very different versions of privacy, proximity, and day-to-day logistics. Wellington trades on the density of a true competition ecosystem, anchored by a global winter circuit and a purpose-built trail and preserve network.

Here is how to evaluate each through a luxury real estate lens, and how many buyers complement an equestrian estate with a refined in-town residence for dining, culture, and travel days.

Golf-Club Enclaves vs Waterfront Living: The South Florida Luxury Buyer’s Decision

In South Florida, the most consequential lifestyle decision in luxury real estate is often not architectural style but orientation: fairway or water. Private golf-course communities package privacy, social access, and service into a controlled environment, while waterfront ownership monetizes views, boating, and scarcity. For today’s ultra-premium buyer, the right choice hinges on how you value daily rituals, carrying costs, and liquidity across market cycles.

For buyers who measure luxury in turnout time, tack-room flow, and a peaceful ride before breakfast, Wellington represents a distinctive South Florida address.

This guide outlines what sophisticated horse households prioritize, from barn-to-house design to privacy, resilience, and long-term value, plus a clear due-diligence framework that protects both lifestyle and animals.
