Looking for Acreage in the Florida Keys? This Rare Waterfront Property Might Be the One

Florida Keys Shane "Waterfront" Wilson October 28, 2025

Rare Oceanfront Estate in Marathon

3+ acres, deepwater dockage, ocean views, and privacy—this is the one you’ve been waiting for.

If you’ve been searching for homes with acreage in the Florida Keys, you already know how rare they are. Most homes in the Keys are built on narrow lots with just enough space for a dock and a hammock. But 1590 Pelican Pass in Marathon is something else entirely: a true 3+ acre oceanfront estate with protected deepwater dockage, panoramic views, and room to roam.

A Private Waterfront Estate on Over 3 Acres

Situated at the end of a quiet private road, this Marathon property is the type of Keys real estate you don’t see often—especially not with this kind of space. Here’s what makes 1590 Pelican Pass stand out:

  • 3.07 acres of gated land with lush landscaping and total privacy

  • 480+ feet of oceanfront along a protected basin

  • 160’ of deepwater dockage with a 25K lb. boat lift and floating dock

  • Unmatched access to the Atlantic for serious boaters

Whether you’re arriving by land or sea, this property checks all the boxes—luxury, location, and rare acreage in one of the most desirable boating regions in the world.

Estate-Style Living in the Heart of the Keys

The main residence offers nearly 4,000 square feet of light-filled living space with:

  • 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms

  • Vaulted ceilings and oversized windows with stunning ocean views

  • A wraparound porch made for sunrises, shade, and sea breezes

  • A private guest suite, perfect for extended family or guests

  • An elevator and practical layout for full-time or part-time living

It’s the kind of home where you can host Thanksgiving under the palms or sneak away for a weekend in peace.

Why Acreage in the Keys Is So Rare—and So Valuable

There are plenty of beautiful homes in the Florida Keys. But very few come with multiple acres of land, especially on the ocean. That kind of room gives you flexibility, privacy, and long-term value that smaller parcels simply can’t compete with.

Whether you’re dreaming of a private family compound, luxury vacation rental, or future-forward investment, acreage in the Keys is one of the most sought-after and hardest-to-find property types.

Local Knowledge Matters—Especially When Buying Big

As someone born and raised in the Florida Keys—and who has spent the last few decades boating, fishing, diving, and selling homes from Key Largo to Key West—I can tell you this:

Opportunities like this don’t come around often. And when they do, it pays to work with someone who knows the back roads and the back bays.

I tour many properties by boat because for homes like this, the water tells just as much of the story as the land does.
