In a highly anticipated move for the Vero Beach luxury real estate market, two stunning new construction homes in the exclusive Riomar Beach enclave are set to be relisted in mid-August. Represented by ONE Sotheby’s International Realty broker associate Cindy O’Dare and agent Lily O’Dare, the properties located at 888 Sandpiper Lane and 901 Jasmine Lane promise exceptional value in one of Florida’s most sought-after coastal communities.
The upcoming relisting of these Riomar Beach homes offers an unprecedented opportunity to acquire move-in-ready, high-end construction east of A1A at prices significantly below current Central Beach market averages.
The Sandpiper Lane residence will debut at $1.8 million, which equates to approximately $600 per square foot, while the Jasmine Lane property will be offered at $1.6 million, or $560 per square foot. These price points are remarkable for the area, especially when comparable new move-in-ready homes in the 3,000-square-foot range within Central Beach are currently listing between $2.6 million and $2.95 million. This unique pricing advantage stems from developer Rory O’Dare’s strategic acquisition of a 0.7-acre parcel along A1A in September 2023 for just $725,000. Through a meticulous plat overlay process, the original single-family lot was divided into three distinct parcels.
The homes briefly appeared on the market earlier this year, but the timing proved slightly premature. While the interiors were beautifully finished, the exterior landscaping and driveways remained incomplete. This construction-site aesthetic made it difficult for prospective buyers and real estate agents to fully visualize the magic of the boutique subdivision. Recognizing this, the developer temporarily pulled the listings in June. After successfully selling a separate spec home on Hibiscus in Central Beach, capital was reinvested to bring the Riomar Beach properties to their full potential. The site has since been elevated 18 inches above street level using 100 truckloads of fill, and a lush, tropical landscape buffer has been meticulously installed along A1A to ensure optimal privacy and tranquility.
Both single-story, concrete-block residences were crafted with unparalleled attention to detail and energy efficiency. Buyers will find structural enhancements like extra-thick 5/8-inch sheetrock, Icynene attic insulation, and dual-pane impact-resistant windows that effectively silence outside noise. Furthermore, the interior finishes truly elevate these properties to the next level. Highlights of the homes include:
- 888 Sandpiper Lane: A stylish 2,929-square-foot layout featuring three bedrooms and three bathrooms, coffered ceilings, a cozy fireplace, and oversized bathrooms outfitted with premium $1,000 faucet sets, glass showers, and deep soaking tubs.
- 901 Jasmine Lane: A 2,850-square-foot space offering three bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths, highlighted by a massive quartz waterfall-edge island featuring a unique butcherblock inlay.
- Shared Luxury Amenities: Both properties boast engineered white oak flooring, high-end GE Café appliances, standing seam metal roofs, two-car garages, and open floorplans that flow seamlessly out to travertine patios with private splash pools.
Beyond the immaculate construction, the location itself is a premier selling point. Situated just a block south of the 17th Street causeway, these homes are a mere five-minute walk from the pristine sands of South Beach Park, complete with lifeguards and public facilities. Residents can enjoy an effortless golf cart ride to the vibrant shops and dining establishments along Ocean Drive and Cardinal Drive. Furthermore, the immediate South Beach neighborhood offers diverse culinary options within a two-block radius, ranging from casual pizzerias to fine French dining, with even more local options on the horizon.
With total combined air-conditioned space of over 8,600 square feet across the three-home subdivision, these thoughtfully designed properties break the mold of uniform new builds, offering distinct charm and contemporary elegance. Whether utilized as a primary family residence, a luxurious retirement haven, or even a multi-generational compound, the impending mid-August market launch of these Riomar Beach properties is poised to generate rapid interest in the local real estate community.
