Do you know what Steeplechase is? According to Collins Dictionary, it “is a long horse race in which the horses have to jump over obstacles such as hedges and water jumps.”

Steeplechase is also a ritzy and exclusive private gated residential real estate community in Palm Beach Gardens. It takes its name from original platting as Horseshoe Acres West. In fact, the community immediately to its east is Horseshoe Acres.

Steeplechase is appealing to home buyers with a refined taste for authenticity, distinctiveness, and a lot of land. As you enter Steeplechase, expect to see winding streets lined with mature trees and individually designed single-family homes, contributing to an eclectic community, where no two houses are alike. Real estate here is comprised of 325 single-family homes priced from about $600K to well over $3 million grand estates with a footprint exceeding 10,000 total square feet.

Unlike most South Florida communities, Steeplechase does not have a clubhouse and a common swimming pool. That’s because practically every house has a backyard swimming pool and plenty of room to entertain guests. Many homes also boast separate guest houses, state-of-the-art summer kitchens, colonnaded archways, and designer hot tubs with cascading waterfalls. Inside, Steeplechase homes commonly feature open floor plans, floor-to-ceiling impact glass windows for panoramic views, stone countertops, gourmet kitchens, and butler’s pantries.
