At 136 Echo Drive in The Loxahatchee Club, every room faces a serene lake. This 5,109 sq ft home with 5 bedrooms, 2 offices, infinity pool and impact glass is listed at $3,995,000.
Some houses are sold by their rooms. This one is sold by the view out of them. At 136 Echo Drive, the back of the house opens onto a broad, quiet lake inside The Loxahatchee Club in Jupiter, and every important space in the home has been arranged to face it. In the evening the water turns gold, then rose, then deep blue, and the light comes straight through a wall of glass into the main living space.
The residence is a CBS block home of 5,109 square feet on a third of an acre, with five bedrooms, two dedicated offices, an infinity-edge pool and hot tub, complete impact glass and a full technology package. It sits within a private club that, according to the listing, Forbes ranked seventeenth among the most exclusive golf and country clubs in America. The list price is $3,995,000.
### A Private Arrival on Echo Drive
The approach sets the tone. A wide paver motor court curves up to the house through hedges, palms and flowering shrubs, so the street drops away before you reach the door. The architecture is crisp and light: white stucco, low-pitched roofs, shuttered windows and a second-level balcony with a geometric rail. Garages are set to either side of the court, which keeps the entry itself uncluttered.
Construction matters in South Florida, and here it is the kind buyers at this level look for. The home is concrete block, and the listing describes complete impact glass throughout. That combination is what lets a house like this keep its glass walls without compromise: the openness is real, and so is the protection behind it.
### One Great Room, Facing the Water
Inside, the plan is open and generous. The great room rises to a tray ceiling with a ceiling fan at its center, and polished stone floors run uninterrupted from the living area through the dining space to the kitchen. A slender column marks the transition without dividing it. Along one wall, a custom wood media wall gives the room warmth and an anchor; along the other, floor-to-ceiling glass and clerestory windows pull in the lake, the palms and the sky.
The effect is a single, calm volume where cooking, dining and conversation happen in the same light. The kitchen sits at the far end, finished in warm wood with a sculptural pendant over the island, so whoever is at the range is part of the room rather than behind a wall. A comprehensive technology package runs through the home, the kind of infrastructure that is easy to overlook on a tour and difficult to add later.
### Five Bedrooms, Two Offices and a Wing of Its Own
The layout is where this house separates itself from many of its neighbors. Beyond the five bedrooms, there are two dedicated offices, so two people can work from home without turning a bedroom into a makeshift desk. The master suite occupies its own wing, with a sitting area, two walk-in closets and a bath that opens to a private garden.
Here's what you won't see in the photos: the way the house feels at 7 a.m., when the lake is still and the light is soft, or how the infinity-edge pool seems to spill into the water beyond. Those are the things that make a house a home, and they're best experienced in person.
### The Loxahatchee Club Lifestyle
Living here means more than a house. The Loxahatchee Club is a private, gated community with a championship golf course, tennis courts, a fitness center and a clubhouse with dining. It's the kind of place where neighbors know each other and the pace slows down. If you're looking for a full-time residence or a seasonal escape, this property delivers on both fronts.
At $3,995,000, it's priced for the buyer who values privacy, security and a view that never gets old. Schedule a showing and see for yourself why this home is more than just a pretty face—it's a lifestyle.
