Property Description
Truly unparalleled and exceptionally private, this extraordinary riverfront estate is comprised of three detached residences, each offering independent living and private access—an incredibly rare offering in North Pinellas County. Ideally positioned on the most desirable stretch of the Anclote River and located in Flood Zone X with no flooding to any structure, this remarkable property delivers both peace of mind and breathtaking natural beauty.
The main residence features 4 bedrooms and 4 baths (3 full, 1 half) with expansive, traditional living spaces rarely found in today's construction. Soaring room sizes, elegant finishes, two fireplaces (living and family rooms), plantation shutters on the first floor, and custom built-ins create a timeless and refined interior. The chef's kitchen is a true showpiece, boasting top-tier appliances, stone countertops, and distinctive honey marble flooring, perfectly designed for both entertaining and everyday luxury.
The second structure is a fully equipped boathouse/in-law residence complete with its own kitchen, bath, and private entry—ideal for multigenerational living, guests, or long-term income potential. The third structure offers a three-bay garage with a private-entry, rough-plumbed second-floor apartment, ready to be transformed into a luxury guest suite, studio, or executive office retreat.
Step outdoors to a custom-designed resort-style pool framed by dramatic boulder landscaping and lush surroundings, setting the stage for outdoor entertaining with absolute privacy. From nearly every room, enjoy sweeping water views of river frontage, distant marinas, and protected islands that serve as a sanctuary for dolphins, manatees, eagles, and exotic shore birds—a living work of art that changes with every season and tide.
This estate delivers an unmatched sense of tranquility, prestige, and connection to nature while being moments from the charm, dining, culture, and waterfront lifestyle of Historic Tarpon Springs. Properties offering this level of privacy, versatility, elevation, and natural beauty are exceedingly rare.? A legacy estate offering extraordinary lifestyle, income potential, and irreplaceable waterfront views—Dolphin Cove is simply unforgettable.
