A · The Identifier
The Identifier
Named after the original Four Way Lodge built on this site in 1904, Four Way Lodge Estates is one of South Coconut Grove’s most historically layered and architecturally diverse gated communities. Situated east of Main Highway along Poinciana Avenue, the enclave comprises approximately 43 to 50 single-family residences built across a remarkable century-long span, from early 1900s historic cottages to contemporary estates completed as recently as 2026. This breadth of architectural heritage, from tropical vernacular bungalows to Mediterranean-influenced homes with distinctly Asian design elements, is unmatched by any other gated community in Coconut Grove.
The community is guard-gated 24 hours a day with public access permitted, offering a blend of openness and curated security. Most homes sit on generous dry lots ranging from 7,600 to 35,000 square feet, with a select few fronting the open bay or a canal and accessing the community’s shared boat basin. Positioned on the Commodore Bike Trail and within walking distance of Coconut Grove’s village center, Four Way Lodge Estates delivers rare proximity to the Grove’s schools, bayfront parks, and dining, alongside the permanence of one of South Florida’s most historically significant residential enclaves.
“Over a century of architectural heritage, a private boat basin, and Carrollton School at the gate — an address Coconut Grove cannot replicate.”
