Located in the highly sought-after, ocean-to-river community of Palm Island Plantation, a stunning custom-built home at 405 S. Palm Island Cir. offers the perfect blend of luxurious barrier island living and multi-generational functionality. Originally designed for Eugene and Susan Feinour—who relocated from John’s Island to downsize without compromising their lifestyle—this 3,918-square-foot residence masterfully captures the classic British West Indies aesthetic that defines this premier Vero Beach neighborhood.
Collaborating with builder Steve Owen and architect Greg Anderson, the owners reimagined the signature Palm Island layout. The result is an ingenious floor plan that functions as a serene, single-story retreat for the primary residents, while offering a private upper-level haven for visiting family and guests.
“They created a space where they could live fully on the first floor. But when the grandchildren visit, they have their own world upstairs with two bedrooms and a dedicated loft area where they can hang out without disturbing the peace downstairs,” shares listing broker Luke Webb.
A paver driveway and porticoed entry welcome guests into a foyer accented by dark, engineered wood floors. These rich tones beautifully anchor the home’s custom millwork, elegant wainscoting, and arched built-ins. The formal living room features a fireplace flanked by clever cabinetry designed to conceal the television. Bringing the outdoors in, French doors open to a covered patio equipped with drop-down screens, ensuring year-round indoor-outdoor living just steps from the gas-heated pool and spa.
The left wing of the home is dedicated to entertaining and utility, seamlessly connecting the living room, dining room, and gourmet kitchen. Culinary enthusiasts will appreciate the kitchen’s premium finishes:
- White marble countertops and a substantial island with generous seating
- High-end Thermador appliances and double ovens
- A convenient microwave drawer and integrated wine fridge
- A beautifully crafted custom backsplash
On the opposite side of the residence, the primary suite and an adjacent study provide maximum privacy for the owners. The luxurious dual-sided primary bathroom features independent vanities, separate lavatories, and a shared walk-through shower. The neighboring study offers a handsome workspace with dark wood built-ins and tranquil lake views, serving perfectly as a private sitting room.
The second floor acts as a dedicated guest retreat. It features a central loft with ample storage for games and recreational items, flanked by two guest suites that provide autonomy and seclusion for visitors, keeping the first-floor peace entirely undisturbed.
Outside, the south-facing backyard backs up to a lush preserve area, capturing abundant Florida sunshine year-round. The manicured grounds perfectly complement the vibrant, guard-gated 58-acre community.
Residents of Palm Island Plantation enjoy resort-style amenities that highlight the absolute best of Vero Beach real estate. Homeowners have exclusive access to:
- An oceanfront Beach Club featuring a heated pool, spa, and private cabanas
- A state-of-the-art fitness center, steam rooms, and a Har-Tru tennis court
- The River Cabana, offering boat slips, a kayak launch, and a deep-water dock on the Indian River Lagoon
Located just a short drive from Vero’s famous Village by the Sea, the property sits conveniently near the historic Jungle Trail, the Environmental Learning Center, Riverside Theatre, and the Vero Beach Museum of Art.
Listed by broker-owner Luke Webb of Luke Webb and Associates for $2,950,000, this four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bathroom concrete block and stucco home represents a rare opportunity to own a meticulously crafted sanctuary in one of Vero Beach’s most desirable coastal enclaves.
