MARINER BAY PART OF A CHANGING LANDSCAPE
The landscape is changing on Hutchinson Island with the development of new accommodations and amenities. Mariner Bay, a Key West styled town home community will enhance the area's natural beauty without overpowering its pristine, preserved environment. Located on the barrier island of Hutchinson Island off the Treasure Coast, the inspiration of Mariner Bay was thoughtfully created for this undisturbed jewel boasting miles of beach and ocean-life unspoiled by high-rise condominiums or throngs of tourist attractions. In the works are plans for enhancing this quaint, small town atmosphere while adding conveniences to compliment a full time life style to this island paradise.
"When you visit Hutchinson Island immediately feel the calming affect of the Island," says David Colegrove, Sales and Marketing Director for Mariner Bay developer Shelby Homes. "The mood feels unhurried and warm like the climate, however, many exciting new developments will improve the lifestyle and cater to the needs of those seeking to live in this fabulous setting."
Beautified streetscapes, improved bridge access, a new marina and convenient shopping will all increase the comforts of living without compromising the breathtaking beauty of the incredible 20-mile long stretch of land surrounded by views of the Atlantic Ocean and Indian River.
"The Island is poised to grow from a vacation destination to a year-round community," notes Colegrove, adding "This makes Mariner Bay very appealing for someone who presently wants a secondary address but may wish to become a full-time resident in the future."
"Mariner Bay offers a resort lifestyle that is impossible to find elsewhere on Florida's southeast coast. Magnificent views of beachfront dunes, sparkling water, and spectacular wildlife are just the beginning to this tropical paradise. The incomparable designs of our residences, aesthetic appeal, quality of construction, create an unparalleled value to any other oceanfront location on the Treasure Coast," says Colegrove.
Excitement has been soaring since the recent opening of Mariner Bay's decorator furnished models, according to Colegrove. "The designers have done an absolutely amazing job of accentuating each of the four unique floor plans with such exquisite décor and smartly conceived use of space that you will want to buy immediately."
The unsurpassed quality of construction including filled cell concrete block exterior walls on the first and second floors; poured, reinforced concrete second story floors; and impact resistant glass is also a primary selling feature, especially for a community with close proximity to the ocean.
Mariner Bay's extraordinary three- and four-bedroom, one- and two-story town homes with two-car garages, range from 1,456 square feet to 2,651 square feet under air and are priced from the $300's . "There is something to suit everyone," Colegrove notes. "As we release new buildings, there will be price increases. The best time to secure a piece of paradise is now".
The majority of Mariner Bay buyers are multiple homeowners who will likely reside seasonally. However, with the growth of the Island's infrastructure and new amenities such as a Publix shopping center, Colegrove expects more full-time residents to be attracted to Hutchinson Island.
Mariner Bay's charming Key West/Old-Florida architecture is in total harmony with the pleasant, natural beauty of its surroundings. Building facades feature a palette of soft, comforting colors with quaint balconies beckoning to the outdoors and old-fashioned shutters highlighting window frames.
As with all Shelby Homes properties there are many interior finishes and floor-plan options including the possibility of modifying the function of spaces as well as adding bonus rooms, balconies with French doors and lofts. No matter which model buyers select, they will appreciate the gracious living of gourmet style kitchens, sumptuous master baths, and spacious entertaining areas. Homes are also pre-wired for the highest efficiency in operating the latest high-speed cable, satellite, computer, and electronic equipment.
Both luxury and convenience are part of the lifestyle at Mariner Bay where residents will enjoy turnkey, carefree maintenance including complete cable services and property management. Shelby Homes has also taken special care to accommodate residents by creating a building schedule that will be the most desirable while occupancy begins and construction continues on future buildings. By developing the community from the front to back, new homeowners will not need to drive by sites under construction to get to their residences.
Mariner Bay is close to everything a true-Florida lifestyle has to offer. Bordering the Intracoastal waterway and steps away from magnificent beaches, fabulous community parks, beautiful preserved habitats, vibrant coral reefs and ship wrecks brimming with sea life, plentiful fishing opportunities, golf-courses galore and endless sunshine to enjoy, Mariner Bay is the destination point for the discerning buyer.
Within Mariner Bay, an all-inclusive 3,000-square-foot clubhouse is currently under construction due for completion in the summer. Replete with a fitness center with state-of-the-art cardiovascular and weight-training equipment, separate men and women's locker rooms, a multi-purpose room, and over-sized pool the Mariner Bay Club is the perfect place to encourage the social lifestyle of this breaking community. Adjacent to the community are professionally maintained tennis courts.
Shelby Homes has built over 2,500 homes in many of the most prestigious communities throughout Palm Beach and Broward counties. The company has established a reputation for meticulous architectural detail and the highest quality of construction excellence. Such rigorous standards befit the grandeur of Mariner Bay at Hutchinson Island.
