Inside a $3.65M Lakefront Home in Jupiter's Most Exclusive Club

Lucía Torres · 2026-10-01

The Loxahatchee Club is one of those places you hear about before you ever see it. Tucked on the west side of Jupiter, this gated golf community wraps around a Jack Nicklaus Signature course — one of the first he designed in Florida. Forbes once ranked it No. 17 among the most exclusive golf and country clubs in America. Homes here tend to trade quietly, often between people who already know the club. So when one comes up fully renovated and sitting on the water, it's worth a closer look. That house is 204 Birkdale Lane. Five bedrooms, five full baths, 3,338 square feet under a tile roof, on a lakefront lot in the Maplewood section. The concrete-block structure dates back to 1986. But almost everything you touch, walk on, or look through is brand new. It's listed at $3,650,000. ### A 1986 House, Rebuilt for Today Drive up and you get the first hint of what's happened here. The elevation reads Key West by way of traditional Florida: low tile roof, covered entry, paver drive laid in a grid of turf strips beneath a stand of palms. A two-car attached garage with room for a golf cart sits off to the side. In this community, that's not a novelty — it's a necessity. Step inside and the renovation shows its priorities right away. The entry opens to a two-story volume with a floating stair of white oak treads and thin metal balusters. Your eye runs straight through the house to the lake. Ceilings are high throughout — coffered in the main living areas, vaulted where the plan allows. The entire ground floor is finished in brand-new wide-plank flooring in a pale, natural tone. And the window package? Complete impact glass. So the glass walls that frame the water also carry the storm rating any Jupiter buyer wants to see on the disclosure. ### The Great Room: Where the House Breathes The great room sits at the center of the plan. A built-in media wall anchors one end. The other end is glass, sliding open to the patio and the water. The furniture in the photos is staged, sure — but the proportions are the point. This is a room that seats a crowd without feeling like a hall. It connects to the dining area and kitchen without a single wall in the way. > "You can feel the difference between a renovation that just updates and one that was designed. This one was designed." The kitchen is what the listing calls a chef's kitchen, and for once the description holds up. An oversized island with a stone top and seating for five faces the water. Cabinetry runs floor to ceiling in white, with a paneled refrigerator, a pantry, and a full suite of brand-new appliances. The woven pendants over the island repeat a motif from the great room — one of several details that make the renovation feel intentional rather than merely updated. ### Five Bedrooms, Split for Privacy The five bedrooms are laid out in a split plan, which means the primary suite gets its own wing. That's a layout that works whether you have a house full of guests or just want a quiet corner to yourself. The primary bath is fully redone, with a freestanding tub, a walk-in shower, and dual vanities. Two of the secondary bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath, and the others have easy access to the remaining full baths. Outside, the lakefront lot gives you a patio, a lawn that rolls down to the water, and enough space for a pool if you want one. The lot faces east, so you get morning sun on the water and shade in the afternoon — a small thing that makes a big difference in Florida. ### What This Means for Buyers If you've been watching the Loxahatchee Club, you know homes here don't come up often. And when they do, they rarely come with this level of finish. A full renovation in a community like this means you're not just buying a house — you're buying into a lifestyle that's already been polished. Here's what stands out: - **Turnkey condition:** No projects, no surprises. Move in and start living. - **Impact glass throughout:** Insurance-friendly and storm-ready. - **Golf cart garage:** Because in this club, you'll use it. - **Lakefront lot:** Water views from the main living areas. - **Split plan:** Privacy for the primary suite and room for guests. At $3,650,000, this isn't an entry-level purchase. But for the right buyer — someone who values privacy, golf, and a home that's already been brought into the present — it's a rare opportunity. The Loxahatchee Club doesn't shout. It doesn't need to. And neither does this house. It just sits there on the water, waiting for someone who gets it.
