About 16085 E Secretariat Drive
Are you looking to live the TRUE Acreage lifestyle and NOT looking to manage a full renovation? Well, this is your next home. Pull down the driveway of this 1.14-acre estate and there is not a single project waiting for you. No honey-do list. No "we'll get to it one day" wish list. This 4-bed, 3-bath CBS home was rebuilt top to bottom — new roof, HVAC, floors, and a fully remodeled kitchen and baths by true craftsmen. The pool area was reimagined by LB Rowe, a well-known name in local luxury pools. The backyard shows it: a freeform pool, a raised spa spilling over a rock waterfall, color-changing LED lighting, and a screened lanai made for entertaining guests without the worries of South Florida's winged menaces. Here's what you do: close, move in, and start the acreage life nothing left Step through the double front doors — arched transom overhead, a chandelier catching the light — and the great room opens up with soaring ceilings and the kind of natural light that makes you understand why the previous owners went to this much trouble. The split-bedroom floor plan gives every bedroom the main level, tile flooring runs through the living areas, and every sightline leads your eye back toward the glass doors and the pool beyond them. The kitchen is where the craftsmanship shows closest. White shaker cabinetry, a waterfall-edge quartz island big enough to gather around, stainless appliances, and a hand-laid wood-slat backsplash that's the one detail in the whole house that tells you someone was thinking about texture, not just checking boxes. Walk back to the primary suite and the remodel keeps going — dual vanities, a freestanding soaking tub, architectural details that tell you this wasn't a rush job. Every bathroom in the house has already been redone. You're not touring a house that needs your imagination — you're touring one that's already finished the hard conversations for you. Then you step out back, and this is where the property tells its real story. The pool, reimagined by LB Rowe, is the centerpiece — freeform, a raised spa spilling over a natural rock waterfall, color-changing LED lighting that turns the whole space into something different after dark. But the lanai itself is the surprise: it doesn't just wrap the pool, it opens into a second, fully covered living space beyond it — room enough for a full outdoor dining table on one end and a separate lounge seating area on the other, all under one screen, all bug-free, all usable twelve months a year in a way a bare patio never is. And that's just what's already here. This is 1.14 acres of AR-zoned land — Agricultural Residential — with no HOA standing between you and what you actually want to build. Want a detached garage for the boat and the toys? Room for it. A pole barn for equipment, a workshop, storage for the side-by-side? Room for that too. Thinking about a guest house for family who visit every winter, or an in-law suite that pays for itself? This lot has the depth for it. Picture a fire pit and a real seating area tucked off to the side of the pool deck — the kind of spot where Friday nights turn into something the neighbors' kids remember. This property isn't just move-in ready. It's build-out ready, on your timeline, your way, with nobody's architectural review board signing off on it first. That's the part people underestimate about The Acreage until they've lived it: it's not isolation, it's room to actually use your property. Kids can join local youth sports leagues right here in the community instead of a 30-minute drive to a rec center. On a Saturday morning you can load the side-by-side and be out at J.W. Corbett Wildlife Management Area — sixty thousand acres of public land off Seminole Pratt Whitney Road — before most people in Boca are out of bed. Need a coffee run or a quick errand? It's closer than people assume, not a production. And when you want a night out, you've got real options: Gator's Shack Bar and Grill near Westlake for gator tail and a laid-back local crowd, Boonies Wild West Saloon in Loxahatchee Groves for live music on the weekends, Lewis Prime Grill on Seminole Pratt Whitney Road for a proper steak from the family behind Okeechobee Steakhouse, Thirsty Turtle Seagrill on Northlake Blvd for fresh seafood, and Jabrewski's Pizza Company — a Loxahatchee original since 2015 — for the best pie in the western communities. Saturday mornings, the RPB Green Market and Bazaar runs October through April, the highest-traffic green market in the county. Want to play a round? Madison Green Country Club in Royal Palm Beach is public access, no membership required, a short drive east. The emergency question gets asked before anyone brings it up, so here it is: the ER at Westlake, an extension of Wellington Regional Medical Center, sits at the corner of Seminole Pratt Whitney and Persimmon Blvd — 24/7 physician-staffed, full emergency scope, not urgent care, with a direct admission line to Wellington Regional. Palms West Hospital in Loxahatchee and Wellington Regional itself both sit within a short drive east on Southern Blvd. The gap that used to make people hesitate about living out here has closed. Does it flood out here? That's the first question every buyer asks, and the answer is a flat no — two ways, not one. Ask anyone who's lived in this corridor a while and they'll tell you the same thing: they've never seen it flood. And it's not just word of mouth — FEMA's own data backs it up. This property's Flood Factor comes back at 1 out of 10, minimal risk. Decades of local track record plus the federal number saying the same thing — that's as close to a settled question as real estate gets. It also means real money back in your pocket: no flood-zone premium tacked onto your insurance, on top of a new roof and new systems already working in your favor. This is room to roam, not isolation — and it's less isolated than it used to be. What used to mean a 20 to 30 minute drive for groceries or everyday errands has shrunk fast with Westlake and Avenir filling in around this corridor. Publix at The Acreage on Seminole Pratt Whitney Road sits roughly 3 miles out — closer to an 8-minute drive than a sacrifice. What you're actually trading for is privacy: a place where your nearest neighbor's porch light isn't close enough to see. That's this version of Acreage living — already finished, pool done, systems done, and 1.14 acres of room left over for whatever you build next. Common questions about this property: Is this home move-in ready, or does it still need work? Every major system — roof, HVAC, flooring, kitchen, baths, pool — has already been replaced or remodeled. There is no material renovation list for the next owner. Who built the pool? The pool and spa were rebuilt by ownership that includes the operator of LB Rowe Pool Company, a locally known area pool builder. Is there an HOA on this property? No. This property has no HOA — no monthly dues, no architectural review, no rental restrictions beyond county code. How far is the nearest hospital or ER? The ER at Westlake is a short drive via Seminole Pratt Whitney Road; Palms West Hospital and Wellington Regional Medical Center are both accessible via Southern Blvd. What size is the lot, and what does that allow? The property sits on 1.14 acres, zoned AR (Agricultural Residential) under Palm Beach County code, which permits single-family and group housing uses and protects the area's low-density rural character. Is this in a golf course community? No — this is a standalone AR-zoned residential property, not part of a golf community or subject to a golf/HOA structure. Public golf access (Madison Green Country Club, no membership required) is a short drive east in Royal Palm Beach. What's included in the recent renovation? Roof, HVAC, flooring, kitchen, all bathrooms, doors, interior/exterior paint, trim, fans, lighting, water filtration, landscaping, and a complete pool/spa rebuild. What's dining like near The Acreage? Several strong local options sit within a short drive, including Gator's Shack Bar and Grill, Boonies Wild West Saloon, Lewis Prime Grill (steaks, from the Okeechobee Steakhouse family), Thirsty Turtle Seagrill (fresh seafood), and Jabrewski's Pizza Company, a Loxahatchee original.
