Stone Creek Ranch, Delray Beach: Inside South Florida’s Most Discreet Estate Enclave

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. For buyers weighing a true “compound” lifestyle against lock-and-leave luxury along the Intracoastal, its scarcity and scale are the story.
