Behind the secure gates of Marsh Landing Country Club in Ponte Vedra Beach lies an exclusive waterfront enclave known as Harbour Island. It is one of the most prestigious addresses in Northeast Florida. Known for its privacy, custom estate homes, and deepwater access, Harbour Island is where luxury living meets yacht-side convenience. It’s a secluded paradise for those seeking security, exclusivity, and space to live large. From private marinas to multi-car showrooms, it offers a unique lifestyle.
A Sanctuary for the Ultra-Affluent
Harbour Island attracts a select group of ultra-high-net-worth individuals, many of whom value the privacy, discretion, and architectural grandeur this secluded neighborhood provides. The estate homes here are nothing short of spectacular. They are custom-built masterpieces with expansive floorplans, sweeping water views, and the kind of craftsmanship rarely seen elsewhere in the region.
It’s not uncommon to find homes with guest wings, private gyms, movie theaters, and car galleries. All are nestled along private canals and surrounded by lush, mature landscaping.
Car Collectors’ Paradise
For car collectors, Harbour Island is a dream come true. Many properties offer air-conditioned multi-car garages, motor courts, and private drives. These areas are long enough to host any exotic or classic car collection. These estate lots can accommodate detached garages, auto lifts, and showroom-level finishes. It’s one of the few communities in the region that can support this lifestyle at scale.
With wide streets, low traffic, and complete privacy, it’s a haven for enthusiasts who want to enjoy their collection in peace. You can simply pull the Ferrari out on a perfect Florida afternoon.
Private Marina with Deepwater Access
Perhaps the most defining feature of Harbour Island is its private marina, offering direct deepwater access to the Intracoastal Waterway. Many homes include private boat slips just steps from the back door. This allows for effortless access to the Atlantic Ocean via nearby inlets.
Whether you own a sportfisher, sailboat, or luxury yacht, this is one of the only communities where you can dock your vessel behind your home. You still live within a fully gated, residential golf community.
24/7 Gated Security and Total Privacy
Harbour Island is located within the double-gated community of Marsh Landing Country Club. It offers 24/7 manned security, roving patrols, and restricted access, ensuring complete peace of mind. Many Harbour Island homes also feature private gates and security systems. These provide an added layer of protection for high-profile residents and their families.
This is a community where privacy isn’t just a perk — it’s a priority.
Zoned for Top-Rated St. Johns County Schools
While Harbour Island feels worlds away, it remains conveniently zoned for St. Johns County’s top-rated public schools, consistently ranked among the best in Florida. Families benefit from access to:
- Ocean Palms Elementary School
- Landrum Middle School

There are also elite private and preparatory schools nearby. This makes it an ideal location for families who refuse to compromise on education, security, or lifestyle.
