Elin Nordegren's New Florida House: Her North Palm Beach Estate

Elin Nordegren's Florida chapter is one of the most extraordinary stories in South Florida real estate. Following her highly publicized divorce from Tiger Woods, Nordegren purchased a waterfront estate in North Palm Beach — and then reportedly demolished it and rebuilt a completely custom home from the ground up, creating one of the most notable custom residential projects in Palm Beach County history.

North Palm Beach: an overlooked luxury market

North Palm Beach, a municipality on the northern edge of Palm Beach County along the Intracoastal Waterway, is one of the area's quieter luxury markets — less internationally known than Palm Beach Island or Boca Raton, but home to some of the most spectacular waterfront properties in the county. The community is known for its proximity to Jupiter and Palm Beach Gardens, excellent parks, and a more understated luxury character than some of its neighbors.

The custom build

Nordegren's property sits on the Intracoastal Waterway, offering direct water access and views across to Singer Island. The home she built has been described as a contemporary-style estate of approximately 21,000 square feet, featuring a glass-heavy design that maximizes water views and natural light — a striking departure from the Mediterranean Revival style that dominates Palm Beach County luxury construction. Her project exemplifies a common ultra-luxury strategy: purchasing existing properties primarily for the lot and location, then building a fully custom replacement.
