Description

Discover Edenlawn Plantation—A rare waterfront opportunity with a rich legacy on Florida’s Treasure Coast! Welcome to nearly 9 acres of Florida’s history with remarkable water views and 700 feet of direct waterfront along the scenic Indian River Intracoastal Waterway. This sale includes 4 parcels. Its size, zoning, location, and storied past offer endless possibilities—whether you envision a private family compound, luxury estate development, boutique retreat, or the restoration of its historic legacy. A stately plantation home, now in disrepair, sits near the water’s edge on the northeast corner of the property. Originally, it was home to the region’s largest pineapple plantation. At its peak, the plantation featured a railway depot and a 1,500-foot dock that supported Florida’s growing pioneer economy. Several smaller cottages accompany the main home—each offering opportunities for restoration or replacement today. After the pineapple industry declined post-WWI, Edenlawn became a nursery and fernery, later a seasonal resort for the wealthy, and eventually a beloved Treasure Coast restaurant in the 1950s. Approximately half of the acreage is cleared and ready to be reimagined. Small homes remain on the rest of the property—many in disrepair, though some are habitable. The property includes three wells, 16 electric meters, a swimming pool overlooking the Indian River, pineapple statues, mature oaks, winding pathways, one functioning dock, and another with only the pilings remaining. This property is a true vision of the Florida coastal lifestyle. With whispers of the past blowing through the palm trees, it has inspired history books, the Zeke Adams fictional series, and the famous Highwaymen artist A.E. “Bean” Backus, who painted landscapes on and of the property. This is more than a property—it is an opportunity to steward a living piece of Florida history. All information was obtained from public records and is deemed to be correct.
