5 Gulf-Front Condos and Equestrian Estates Across Florida

Elevated above the shoreline at the Esplanade Club in Park Shore, this exquisitely renovated 15th-floor residence frames sweeping, unobstructed views of the Gulf and Venetian Bay area. A spacious wraparound balcony captures western and northern vistas, while natural light pours into the open-concept living and dining spaces. The reimagined kitchen pairs a waterfall quartz countertop with breakfast bar seating, plus a smart oven with electric cooktop and built-in air fryer, wine refrigerator, and a stylish bar designed for easy hosting. The primary suite offers a walk-in closet and dual vanities; a private guest suite includes its own full bath, and both bedrooms open directly to the balcony. Impact-rated windows and doors, in-residence laundry, and dedicated covered parking add ease. Resort-style amenities—from a beachside pool and spa to rooftop pickleball and tennis—round out days by the water.

Within the exclusive, gated 5-home equestrian community of Canterfield Farms in Riverview, this sprawling equestrian estate balances refined living with a sense of privacy across five pristine acres. A dramatic formal entry sets the tone with polished travertine marble floors, soaring 12-foot coffered ceilings detailed with inlaid wood beams, and a striking double-sided fireplace. The layout is designed to move easily between grand entertaining and everyday comfort, offering four living rooms alongside a home movie theater, executive office, and an exercise/flex room, with abundant storage throughout. Off the entry, a formal dining room glows beneath a radiant crystal chandelier, while the executive office provides a quiet retreat. At the center, the chef’s kitchen features high ceilings, two sinks, a pot filler, and generous prep and storage space, flowing seamlessly into the expansive great room for effortless gathering.

Along the water’s edge in gated Riviera Dunes, this luxury residence is designed for life with a boat at the ready.

Inside, soaring 18-foot ceilings and 12-foot doorways create a grand sense of scale, while walls of glass frame sweeping harbor views and draw you out to an oversized lanai with panoramic water vistas. The home has been immaculately maintained, with extensive upgrades including a concrete tile roof, impact windows and doors, a Generac whole-home generator, storm screens, updated A/Cs, driveway pavers, pool cage refurbishment, and whole-home surge protection. The chef’s kitchen adds quartzite countertops, newer appliances, dual sinks, and generous prep space for easy entertaining.

Down a private, gated approach in Pinellas Park’s equestrian community, this residence unfolds across 3 fully fenced acres with room to live, work, and recharge.

An adjacent bedroom off the suite lends itself to flexible use, while a large loft area offers even more space for a home office, hobby room, or additional living zone. Upstairs, two bedrooms share a Jack & Jill bathroom, balancing convenience with privacy. Thoughtful storage appears throughout, from a bonus room to kitchen window seats designed to tuck essentials away. Covered front and rear porches extend daily life outdoors, complemented by a large firepit, a three-car garage, and covered RV parking with a 50-amp hookup.
