Overview
About The Retreat
The Retreat is the newest of the neighborhoods around the Lost Lake golf course. All 552 homes on the county roll went up in three years, from 2002 to 2004, and the streets are named for national parks and wild places, from SE Glacier Terrace to SE Big Bend Terrace.
The roll records the Retreat PUD in four phases, 1E, 1E-2, 2 and 3, recorded at PB 15, pages 11, 21, 53 and 68. Sales records also use the name The Retreat at Seabranch and describe villas alongside houses; the county classes all 552 as single-family homes. The typical one has about 1,680 square feet of living area, and most fall between about 1,530 and 2,490.
The Retreat, The Preserve, Double Tree and the Falls at Lost Lake sit side by side around the Lost Lake golf course. The course itself is held by a separate private owner, not by the neighborhood associations.
It is in the 33455 ZIP in unincorporated Martin County, at the western edge of Hobe Sound near Atlantic Ridge Preserve State Park. We confirm the amenities and any preserve tracts for a specific home.

What Else to Check

- Taxes and insurance After a sale the assessed value resets the following January. Flood zone and roof age drive insurance quotes, so we check both for the address.
- Estoppel The closing agent orders an estoppel certificate from each association, which confirms what is owed at closing.
Documents to Review Before Closing
- Before you sign: the association disclosure summary and the parcel’s tax bill, including any non-ad valorem lines
- Before you sign: leasing and approval rules if you may rent, and architectural rules for exterior changes
- Before closing: estoppel certificates from every association that applies
