Sewall's Point

What is Sewall’s Point?

Sewall’s Point is a quiet peninsula in Martin County between the St. Lucie and Indian Rivers, with water on both sides. It is a place many people drive past without ever turning in, which is part of its appeal.

Is Sewall’s Point on the water?

Yes, the peninsula has a river on each side. Waterfront here can mean river, canal or lagoon side, and each has different dock rules, bridge heights and flood considerations. Tell me how you boat and I will point you to the right fit.

Is Sewall’s Point close to Stuart?

Yes. Sewall’s Point is a short drive from downtown Stuart, so you get a quiet setting with the shops, galleries and Riverwalk close by.

Do homes in Sewall’s Point need flood insurance?

It depends on the flood zone of the specific property, and lenders often require it in higher-risk zones. On a peninsula with water on both sides, zones can change from one street to the next. I check the flood zone and get an insurance quote before you write an offer, so there are no surprises at closing.

How do schools work for a Sewall’s Point address?

Sewall’s Point is in the Martin County School District, one county-wide district. Which school a home is zoned for depends on the address, so I confirm the assignment with the district before you make an offer.

What should I know about the homestead exemption if I buy in Sewall’s Point?

If Sewall’s Point will be your permanent home, you can claim Florida’s homestead exemption, and with it the Save Our Homes cap on how fast your assessed value can rise. You need to own and live in the home by January 1 and file by March 1. I walk every buyer through this and put it in writing right after closing.
