A large, oceanfront property in Atlantic Beach, Florida will be sold to the highest bidder at a luxury auction® scheduled for August 7, 2025. The 0.43-acre property sits directly on the beach at 1969 Beach Avenue, and offers 100 ft of ocean frontage and a depth of 200 ft. It was recently marketed at $8.75 million before the seller elected to offer the property at luxury auction.® Miami-based Platinum Luxury Auctions, a firm specializing in the non-distressed auction of multimillion-dollar properties, is handling the sale in concert with listing brokerage Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Network Realty, represented by top-producing agents Elizabeth Hudgins and Sarah Alexander.
The upcoming auction marks the third time Platinum is teaming up with Hudgins and Alexander, following two successful sales with the broker duo. Including those two sales, Platinum has sold five consecutive luxury properties in Duval and St. Johns Counties within the past two years. “Our team is always thrilled to work with the Hudgins-Alexander duo,” said Trayor Lesnock, Platinum's founder and president. “As savvy brokers, they know when to harness the luxury auction® process for a client's benefit, and we look forward to extending our perfect sales record with them in August,” added David Ashcroft, managing director of the luxury auction® house.
The property measures a generous 0.43 acres, and sits at a 17-ft elevation, one of the highest elevations for oceanfront property in Atlantic Beach. Two living structures are currently located on the parcel: a 2,412-sf main residence, with 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths and one half-bath, and an adjacent, 1,048-sf guest house, with 2 bedrooms and 1 full bath. Each of the living quarters offer two living levels and panoramic beach and ocean views.
The best use of the property, however, is redevelopment. The parcel is currently suitable for a large estate home, or can be subdivided into two, equally sized parcels, each measuring approx. 0.215 acres, with 50 ft of ocean frontage and 200 feet of depth. The property was originally comprised of two such parcels until the current owner combined them years ago.
According to Platinum, there are very few oceanfront parcels available for development in Atlantic Beach, especially as compared to the size and frontage of 1969 Beach Avenue. To be sure, a search for waterfront homes in Atlantic Beach on Realtor.com shows only two other properties currently listed for sale with development potential on the beach: one property with a 0.25-acre parcel and 50 ft of frontage asking $5.5 million, and another property with 0.37 acres – though only 63 ft of frontage – asking $4.9 million.
The property is close to all of the dining, retail and entertainment venues of Atlantic Beach. The beloved Ponte Vedra Inn and Club, a AAA Five Diamond resort, is 20 mins south, and the famous TPC Sawgrass golf course, headquarters of the PGA Tour, is within a 25-min drive. Downtown Jacksonville and its international airport are just 35 mins away.
Property previews are available by daily appointment through August 6, and may be scheduled by contacting Platinum's project manager, Walter Cerini, at 800.871.9269. Property documents, photos and videography are also located online at OceanfrontLuxuryAuction.com.
