Description

Les Tres Torres—“The Three Towers”—a name inspired by the lighthouse beacons that glow across the water at night, is a historic St. Augustine home reborn as a breathtaking Spanish hacienda. This exceptional waterfront residence surrounds you with the tranquility of a private resort, creating an everyday experience that feels effortlessly like a getaway. Perfectly positioned on Water Street, one of the most coveted and picturesque streets in all of St. Augustine, the residence is nestled between two of the city’s most iconic landmarks—Mission Nombre de Dios to the north and Castillo de San Marcos to the south. Lush breezes, radiant sunrises, and glowing sunsets frame your days in timeless beauty. As you pass through the wrought-iron gates, the property reveals itself like a storybook unfolding: picturesque courtyards with gentle fountains, tile murals, and vibrant gardens reminiscent of a tropical paradise. Fruit trees and flowering pathways create a lush “Garden of Eden,” inviting you to wander and unwind. The home’s premier deep-water location—one of the finest in all of St. Augustine—provides easy access to the Intracoastal Waterway and the open Atlantic within minutes. Enhancing this exceptional setting is a brand-new floating deep-water dock designed for yachts, allowing you to bring your vessel with confidence. A new jet ski drive-up dock accommodating two jet skis adds even more fun and convenience for water lovers. The expansive dock offers ample room for all your boating pleasures, making this a true mariner’s sanctuary. You'll enjoy views of the white sands of Vilano Beach to the north, the inlet and Atlantic Ocean, and St. Augustine Beach to the south. Spend sun-filled days by the home’s striking 48 ft by 12 ft saltwater pool with a beautifully integrated seawall, and host unforgettable evenings in a superb waterfront setting. Generous outdoor spaces are ideal for al fresco dining, barbecues, and effortless entertaining. Inside, the residence combines Spanish Mission–style elegance with modern luxury. The great room, anchored by a gas fireplace and wet bar, opens to sweeping views of the pool and the shimmering Matanzas River beyond. The oversized chef’s kitchen features marble countertops, a generous walk-in pantry, and postcard-worthy views of the water. Its open layout flows seamlessly into the living and dining areas, capturing light from both the courtyard and the river. The primary suite is a private retreat, offering spectacular water views and direct access to the pool and side gardens. Its spa-inspired en suite bath includes dual vanities, a walk-in shower, a soaking tub, and three expansive walk-in closets. Guests enjoy their own secluded wing, complete with three spacious suites and an additional elegant bath. A second living room provides comfort, versatility, and privacy for every lifestyle. Completing the property is a detached two-car garage accompanied by a charming casita, ideal as a private home office, studio, or guest retreat. With a thoughtfully integrated seawall, the property offers both unmatched panoramic vistas and essential coastal protection—an ideal pairing of luxury and peace of mind. Les Tres Torres rises above the definition of a home—it is a sanctuary of sophistication, a secluded hacienda retreat, and a place where history and waterfront luxury converge every day.
