Vero Beach oceanfront estate heads to auction at $45 million

A 3.15-acre gated oceanfront estate in Vero Beach’s Estate Section will sell through Concierge Auctions, with bidding set to open Dec. 9 and close live in New York on Dec. 15. The nearly 15,000-square-foot property is listed at $45 million and includes resort-style amenities, direct Atlantic frontage and a separate guest house.

Why it matters: - The Vero Beach listing adds another ultra-luxury waterfront property to the auction market. - The estate combines more than three acres, direct ocean frontage and resort-style amenities in one of the area’s most desirable enclaves. - The sale could appeal to buyers looking for Palm Beach or Miami-level luxury with a quieter coastal setting.

What happened: - Concierge Auctions will offer a gated oceanfront residence in Vero Beach’s Estate Section through an auction in cooperation with Cindy O’Dare and Richard Boga of ONE Sotheby’s International Realty. - The property is listed for $45 million. - Bidding opens Dec. 9 and culminates live in New York City on Dec. 15 at Sotheby’s New York. - The property will also be available at the December 2026 Abu Dhabi Sale.

The details: - The estate spans 3.15 acres from A1A to the Atlantic and has 223-plus feet of direct ocean frontage. - The residence was completed in 2021 and measures nearly 15,000 square feet. - Interior finishes include Alabama limestone floors, walnut walls and doors with stainless steel accents, high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling impact glass. - The home includes two fireplaces and an elevator. - Entertainment and wellness spaces include a 1,150-bottle temperature-controlled wine room, private theater, library, game room with bar, sauna and steam room. - A separate two-bedroom guest house expands the accommodation options. - The property includes an air-conditioned seven-car garage. - Outdoor amenities include an infinity-edge saltwater pool, hot tub, summer kitchen with built-in grill, Har-Tru tennis and pickleball courts, expansive patios and balconies, a water feature and outdoor shower. - The estate also includes a solar power system, Tesla Powerwall and 150kW generator. - The home uses block, concrete and steel construction for added resiliency. - The property is minutes from Round Island Beach Park and about 15 minutes from Ocean Drive dining and shopping and McKee Botanical Garden. - Vero Beach is known for 26 miles of uncrowded beaches, the Indian River Lagoon and a strong cultural scene. - Property images are available online, with photography credited to Pat Vidas and Luxhunters Productions. - More information, including property details and diligence documents, is available through ConciergeAuctions.com or by calling +1.212.202.2940.

Between the lines: - The marketing pitch is aimed at buyers who want privacy, scale and waterfront access without the density of South Florida’s biggest luxury hubs. - The auction format can create urgency for a high-end asset that is already positioned as rare. - The inclusion of endurance features such as backup power and reinforced construction suggests the property is being sold as both a lifestyle purchase and a resilience play.

What’s next: - Bidding begins Dec. 9. - The live auction ends Dec. 15 in New York, with additional bidding available through the Abu Dhabi sale. - The closing will support Concierge Auctions’ Key For Key giving program with Giveback Homes, which funds new homes for families in need. - Agents will be compensated under the terms of the listing agreement.
