One of the first homes ever built along Ponte Vedra Beach’s premier oceanfront stretch has come to market.
317 Ponte Vedra Boulevard — erected in 1935 when the gilded span was still sparsely populated — is listed for $10,995,000.
“317 Ponte Vedra Blvd is one of the original homes built in Ponte Vedra Beach; built in 1935,” said high-powered local broker Kim Martin-Fisher of Douglas Elliman, who holds the listing with Jennifer Martin Faulkner. “Over the years, there have been several additions while keeping in the design of the era. This home is an icon.”
With the Great Depression still aflame, a small but discerning number of local businessmen saw the area’s potential as it metamorphosed from the hardscrabble mining town known as Mineral City into what is now one of Florida’s most prominent coastal enclaves.
A handful purchased parcels along the boulevard and began building luxurious second homes that afforded access both to the water and the burgeoning Ponte Vedra Inn & Club nearby.
Situated on a .36-acre lot, the 4,600 square-foot property features a total of 7 bedrooms and 6.5 baths — and is eight doors down from PVIC.
The main house offers 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a large gathering kitchen, and an ”ocean room” with panoramic water views.
A separate annex built in 1985 hosts three guest suites, along with an oceanfront deck and lanai.
