Living in Indian Creek Village

Indian Creek Village offers a level of privacy and residential scale that is difficult to replicate elsewhere in South Florida. A single guarded bridge controls automobile access, while the village operates as its own municipality with dedicated public-safety services.

The island’s homes are arranged around the perimeter, with the private country club and golf course occupying much of the center. Estate properties commonly emphasize large lots, substantial water frontage, private docks, outdoor entertaining and architectural privacy.

Inventory is extremely limited, and transactions may occur quietly or through private networks. Buyers should be prepared for detailed due diligence, proof of funds and a highly confidential process.

Private-island buying tip:
Review lot dimensions, seawall condition, dockage, water depth, bridge routes, flood exposure, insurance, construction restrictions, permitting and access procedures before making an offer.
