About this home
Find similar homesA Waterfront Masterpiece Within One of America's Most Exclusive Gated Enclaves. There are luxury homes, and then there are residences that redefine what luxury truly means. Positioned within Boca Raton's most prestigious deep-water community, The Sanctuary recognized by Forbes as one of the "Top Ten Exclusive Gated Communities in the Nation"—this extraordinary waterfront estate represents a rare convergence of architectural excellence, uncompromising craftsmanship, elite security, and world-class yachting. Designed by the acclaimed Affiniti Architects and meticulously constructed by Bloomfield Construction, the residence has since undergone an extraordinary transformation, with more than $1 million invested by the current owner into a comprehensive reimagining of the interiors. Every enhancement was selected with intention, elevating the home beyond new construction through bespoke design, exceptional materials, and artisan craftsmanship. Custom boutique dressing rooms rival those found in the world's finest fashion houses, while exquisite marble installations, designer wall treatments, architectural millwork, curated lighting, upgraded flooring, a fully modernized elevator, sophisticated audiovisual technology, custom lounge cabinetry, and thoughtfully redesigned living spaces create an atmosphere that is at once timeless and unmistakably contemporary. The arrival is nothing short of breathtaking. Towering 30-foot ceilings rise above a dramatic gallery entrance, where expansive walls of glass dissolve the boundaries between architecture and nature, inviting shimmering water views and abundant natural light into every corner of the home. Grand in scale yet remarkably intimate, each space has been thoughtfully composed to evoke both awe and comfort, creating an environment equally suited for elegant entertaining or quiet moments of reflection.

Every detail has been carefully considered to create a lifestyle defined by effortless luxury. Occupying its own private sanctuary within the home, the primary suite is an experience unto itself. Framed by tranquil waterfront vistas, the owner's retreat offers an atmosphere reminiscent of a six-star resort, complete with dual spa-inspired bathrooms, extraordinary boutique-style dressing rooms, refined sitting areas, and an unparalleled sense of serenity. Each additional suite has been designed with the same level of comfort and refinement, ensuring every guest enjoys an equally elevated experience. Outside, the estate transforms into a private waterfront resort. Expansive terraces embrace a spectacular resort-style pool surrounded by lush tropical landscaping, while the private deep-water dock offers effortless access to the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean beyond. With no fixed bridges, this is a property designed for those who appreciate the freedom of life on the water and the privilege of world-class yachting from their own backyard. Perhaps the home's greatest luxury is one that cannot be replicated—peace of mind. In an era where privacy has become increasingly priceless, The Sanctuary stands alone. Residents enjoy 24-hour armed guard-gated security, dedicated land and water patrols, and one of the most sophisticated residential security infrastructures anywhere in South Florida, offering an extraordinary level of discretion, exclusivity, and confidence.

What buyers ask about this home
What are the estimated monthly carrying costs at 701 SANCTUARY Drive, Boca Raton, FL 33431?+
Property tax (after sale): $13,332/month est.; homeowners insurance: $1,654/month est.; HOA: $2,054/month. Fixed ownership costs before a mortgage: $17,040/month est. Principal and interest: $70,023/month; PMI: $0/month. Total for the payment scenario shown: $87,062/month est. Flood insurance is not included. Estimate only, not guaranteed. Verify before you buy or sell.
Will property taxes go up after I buy 701 SANCTUARY Drive, Boca Raton, FL 33431?+
Usually yes. In Florida the assessed value resets to market value in the year after a sale, so the seller's current tax bill is rarely what a new owner pays. Budget roughly 1.8–2.0% of the purchase price annually until you file for homestead exemption and the Save Our Homes cap (or the 10% non-homestead cap) starts limiting increases.
Does 701 SANCTUARY Drive, Boca Raton, FL 33431 need flood insurance, and what drives the premium?+
Most of Boca Raton sits in a FEMA flood zone, and lenders require flood coverage in high-risk zones. Premiums are driven by elevation certificate, flood zone, roof age and shape, and whether the home has impact windows or accordion shutters. Ask for the current declarations page, the four-point inspection and wind mitigation report early — they set your real cost of ownership.
What should an inspection focus on for a home like 701 SANCTUARY Drive, Boca Raton, FL 33431?+
In coastal South Florida, prioritize roof age and permit history, whether windows and doors are impact-rated, the seawall and dock condition on waterfront lots, drainage and elevation, plumbing type, and any open or expired permits with the city. These items, not cosmetics, drive both price and insurability.
What extra costs come with the waterfront at 701 SANCTUARY Drive, Boca Raton, FL 33431?+
Waterfront ownership adds seawall maintenance and eventual replacement, dock and lift servicing, higher flood and wind premiums, and salt-air upkeep on exterior finishes and equipment. Confirm bridge height and water depth at low tide if you plan to keep a boat.
Is there room to negotiate on 701 SANCTUARY Drive, Boca Raton, FL 33431?+
This listing has been on the market 82 days. Leverage comes from days on market, price history, comparable closed sales and the seller's motivation — not from a fixed percentage. I pull the full history and the true comps before we write, so the offer is built on what the property is actually worth today. Call or text (954) 562-1798 for that analysis.
