For the last several months, news of a new Discovery Land Company property has been buzzing around Jupiter - Atlantic Fields, a new luxury private golf development is being planned in Martin County, specifically Hobe Sound, Florida, and it looks like it is going to be an absolute dream property. Here is everything we know about this upcoming development.

1. Layout of the Community

The proposed plans for Atlantic Fields will include 317 homes on 420 acres, surrounded by over 1,000 acres of nature, including wetlands and an operational tree farm. The potential new community is set to sit next to Michael Jordan’s ultra exclusive golf course and club - The Grove XXlll.

2. History

You have probably driven along Bridge Road in Hobe Sound and have seen the 800-acre Becker Tree Farm situated right next to the Hobe Sound Polo Club and adjacent to The Grove XXlll. The Becker brothers are actually the ones who are co-developing Atlantic Fields with Discovery Land Company, a luxury developer who has developed successful private communities throughout North America including Gozzer Ranch in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, The Yellowstone Club in Montana, and Baker’s Bay in the Bahamas.

The developers are committed to maintaining the tree farm, and preserving it by putting it into a permanent agricultural easement, which will prevent future developers from building on that land. 

3. Benefits to the Community

We love the #HoSoFlo and the quaint charm that it provides to our South Florida community. As the gateway to Jupiter Island and with all the special elements that make Hobe Sound special, we were elated to learn that the Becker Company is all about giving back to the community and preserving it, too. Some amazing ways that the Hobe Sound community will see benefits, thanks to Atlantic Fields, are by:

• 140 acres of restored natural area, which will include the reconstruction of a historic marsh to help the drainage basin

• A new public access to Atlantic Ridge State Park 

• A new stable for Atlantic Ridge State Park donated by the Becker Family to accommodate for horseback riders and the public

• A donation of the Hobe Sound Train Station to the Hobe Sound Community Redevelopment Area for public use 

4. Tom Fazio

You know this golf course will be legit because they have acclaimed golf course architect Tom Fazio on board. Fazio is a golf course wizard and has been designing them for over 50 years. He is a mastermind, and according to the Atlantic Field’s website, Fazio will ensure that the natural Florida setting be preserved by adding Florida vegetation. Fazio has already designed over 35 golf courses in Florida, so he is no stranger to creating a gorgeous Florida golf course.

5. Breakdown of Everything

Atlantic Fields is going to be huge, and with that comes many different parts. If you are a little confused about what all Atlantic Fields is going to entail, here’s a breakdown of everything Atlantic Fields will offer according to their website:

• Private community with 317 homes  

• Private club designed by Tom Fazio 

• Open space — only 420 acres are being used of the 1,500 acres

• Agricultural preservation of the Becker Tree Farm

• Wetland protection and restoration to help the area’s hydrological function and drainage 

• Donation of a top tier equestrian facility to Atlantic Ridge State Park for public use

• A new access point to Atlantic Ridge State Park for public use
