Far from the maddening crowd but close enough to life’s necessities, lies a piece of paradise you can call home. Ocean views are endless here, as are scenes of gentle manatees, playful dolphins and an array of colorful birds. Commanding two oceanfront lots in the Florida Keys city of Marathon, this estate is strategically positioned in a setting that defies comparison.

Location is key to the property’s vantage point, which capitalizes on spectacular 340-degree views of clear turquoise water. A deep-water dock that can accommodate a 110-foot yacht is situated on the channel side affording direct access to the Atlantic Ocean, where some of the best fishing in the world can be found. Water enthusiasts can enjoy snorkeling, paddleboarding or kayaking, while landlubbers relax on your private 300-foot stretch of white sandy beach. A private airport is less than 10 minutes away and there are a variety of dining and shopping amenities available on Marathon.

According to the homeowner, Mark Pieloch, the property offers the ideal opportunity to unwind and enjoy a “Margaritaville lifestyle.” Pavered paths encircle the home and lead to an infinity-edge swimming pool spanning 200 feet in length and featuring three waterfalls amid lush tropical foliage.
