About the host
Hosted by Virginia Hill
"My grandfather retired to this area in the late 1940s, and my husband and I have called Stuart home for over 30 years—we truly consider it paradise. We own and operate a commercial interior design firm specializing in medical and commercial spaces. Outside of work, we’re passionate about tropical gardening and restoring historic homes. When we’re not immersed in design, you’ll find us out on our boat, exploring the many beautiful waterways this area has to offer."
Why they chose this property
Location, Location, Architecture! We fell in love with this property for its charming Mediterranean tile roof and the original architectural details hidden beneath years of past renovations. The spacious corner lot offered plenty of room for lush tropical landscaping, and we were thrilled to have the opportunity to restore the home to its former glory. Today, it stands as a beautifully revitalized gem in a prime location—peaceful, yet just moments from everything!
What makes this property unique
We love welcoming family and friends who visit us to experience the beauty of this area. Whether they come for the beaches, mild winters, lively festivals, or world-class fishing, our location offers something for everyone. Centrally positioned, we’re just a short drive from Florida’s best attractions—including premier polo clubs, exciting rodeos, and breathtaking hiking trails to the west and south.
We’re also just minutes from the Atlantic Ocean, St. Lucie River, Indian River Lagoon, Scenic Caloosahatchee River, and Lake Okeechobee—each with its own distinct charm and outdoor adventures.
For those who enjoy arts and entertainment, options range from the intimate, historic Lyric Theatre and Barn Theatre to the world-class Kravis Center in Palm Beach.
Art thrives here! We’re within walking distance or a short drive from numerous winter art festivals, as well as the Cultural Center for the Arts, which hosts exhibits year-round. Visit artist communities in downtown Jensen Beach or explore the renowned Geoffrey Smith bronze studios, whose stunning sculptures—like the iconic Sailfish Fountain—grace downtown Stuart’s streets.
