An exclusive guard-gated neighborhood with a rural feel

The Palm Beach Gardens community of Steeplechase is a guard-gated collection of over 300 homes, tucked into a pocket among some of the most popular golf courses in the area. “When you drive through those gates, it’s like entering the countryside," says Barry Gutknecht, a local real estate agent with Douglas Elliman. "You get acre-plus homesites, no two homes are alike, and the privacy here is increasingly hard to find in South Florida.” Architecture here serves as the centerpiece rather than a communal lounge or clubhouse; the average custom-built estate here spans over 3,000 square feet and sits on a lot of more than an acre. A few miles from Steeplechase, golf-loving residents have quick access to the PGA National Resort and The Preserve at Ironhorse. The neighborhood has a 2 out of 10 CAP index score, meaning crime here is comparatively lower than the national average.

Custom-built estates on large lots

Mediterranean-inspired villas with terracotta roofs, clean-lined Contemporary Modern estates, Spanish Colonial Revival homes and luxury ranch-style homes line the neighborhood’s wide streets. The community’s evolution is visible in its two distinct property eras: original 1980s-90s homes offer one-story layouts on one-acre lots, typically featuring four to five bedrooms and priced between $1.5 million and $2 million. In contrast, post-2020 construction introduces two-story designs with five to six bedrooms on slightly expanded lots, commanding $4 million to $5 million. These newer estates often framing circular driveways, but nearly every home in the neighborhood is equipped with swimming pools.

About two miles from the neighborhood, Dyer Park transforms a former landfill into a 445-acre green space with Florida hills, mountain biking trails, sports fields and picnic areas. John D. MacArthur Beach State Park is about 9 miles from Steeplechase, featuring nearly 2 miles of pristine shoreline highlighted by a 1,600-foot boardwalk through mangrove estuaries, sea turtle nesting grounds and kayak access to Munyon Island.
