The buzz along Florida’s Treasure Coast has been electric as locals eagerly await to learn the “Storie” behind Martin County’s newest community concept. Now, with the full website live and renderings released, Storie is providing a deeper glimpse into the excitement that would await all residents of Martin County. Let’s take a closer look.
1. Clean Water Initiatives
Home to one of the most bio-diverse ecosystems in the Northern Hemisphere, the St. Lucie River is the ecological jewel of the Treasure Coast. Storie’s visionaries have placed a high priority on creating a healthier environment and being a part of the long-term water solution. The extensive network of canals winding through Storie would naturally filter the water before it reaches the Intracoastal Waterway.
2. A Vibrant Village Center
Storie’s Village Center may soon combine fashionable shopping and dining with small-town charm. The vision encompasses a picturesque waterfront promenade, inviting strolls along a path adorned with a variety of locally-owned shops, art galleries, restaurants, and bars.
3. Entertainment for All Interests
Storie would provide a new venue for local performers with its open-air amphitheater. The large green open space surrounding the amphitheater would be perfect for relaxing, enjoying picnics, and listening to live music.
4. New Parks for All Martin County Residents to Enjoy
Preserving open spaces is a central aspect of Storie’s design, with the aim of providing new parks that could be enjoyed by all Martin County residents. Sports fields, tennis and pickleball courts, children’s splash pads, multiple resort-style pools, and more would be available to all Martin County residents.
5. Dog Parks
Furry friends of all sizes would have plenty of space to run and play in Storie’s dog parks. Plans include areas for small and large dogs as well as a communal park with an agility course, a dog swim area, and a dog wash station.
6. Endless Waterfront Excursions
A European-style canal system of waterways has been designed to meander through the community. This peaceful network could provide convenient access to residents and visitors, inviting them to embark on leisurely kayaking and paddleboarding excursions or venturing towards the freshwater lakes for fishing adventures.
7. Miles of Hiking and Biking Trails
In addition to kayaking and paddleboarding in the waterways, the community concept has plans for miles of walking and biking trails that would connect residential neighborhoods to expansive green spaces. Nature trails would amble through the area’s wetlands and parks, and a mountain bike path could wind through the trees.
8. Educational Opportunities Abound
A brand-new K-12 charter school would help build a brighter future for Martin County residents of all ages. Learning, however, doesn’t end in the classroom. From gardening and petting zoos to art studios, inspiring lessons could soon be available to all.
9. A Variety of Home Types
From apartments and townhomes to single-family residences, the new homes planned for Storie would be just as unique as their residents. The vision for Storie would include creating an ideal home for just about anyone looking to live in a friendly, healthy, and naturally inspired neighborhood.
10. A Central Location in Martin County, Florida
Located along Florida’s Atlantic coastline just north of The Palm Beaches, Martin County is one of the nation’s best-kept secrets. Storie’s prime location within this cherished Old Florida-style destination on the Treasure Coast ensures pristine beaches, a vibrant arts and culture scene, historic museums, bountiful sports and entertainment venues, and more are all within easy reach.
As Storie progresses toward finalizing the details of this community concept, additional information will be revealed in the near future.
