Set directly across the sand at 1651 N Fort Lauderdale Beach Blvd, this extraordinary ±7,500 SF parcel offers approximately 50 feet of unobstructed Atlantic Ocean frontage with sweeping, permanent sightlines of the beach, the downtown Fort Lauderdale skyline, and Hugh Taylor Birch State Park—creating a remarkable 360-degree visual experience that is virtually impossible to replicate. Located on a prime hard-corner, on a quiet cul-de-sac, this exceptional property sits within Fort Lauderdale’s ultra-exclusive Finger Streets enclave, an intimate beachfront neighborhood encompassing approximately 34 oceanfront homes. Renowned for its privacy and tightly held ownership, the Finger Streets represent one of the most desirable residential settings on the entire Fort Lauderdale coastline. This is not simply a vacant lot — it is a once-in-a-generation canvas to create a landmark coastal estate. Opportunities of this scale, frontage, and positioning on Fort Lauderdale Beach are nearly extinct. Build a world-class oceanfront mansion or two ultra-luxury residences, this site stands apart as one of the last remaining buildable beachfront parcels of its kind. Preliminary architectural concepts by a highly regarded local architect are available, designed to maximize views, privacy, and architectural impact. To build here is an opportunity to create an ICONIC estate.
