Flowing seamlessly into sun-drenched living and dining areas, this space is enhanced by towering 12-foot ceilings, creating an atmosphere of grandeur and warmth. A hidden bonus room unveils a fully equipped outdoor kitchen and entertainment lounge, offering a seamless transition to alfresco dining and unforgettable gatherings under the stars. The upper levels of the home are dedicated to rest and rejuvenation, with four private bedroom suites, each offering breathtaking Gulf views, intimate balconies, and spa-inspired en-suite baths. The primary suite, a haven of tranquility, boasts 270-degree water views, expansive lounging terraces, and a marble-clad spa bath, designed to capture the essence of relaxation and indulgence. Beyond the home’s elegant interiors lies a spectacular tropical oasis. Designed by the renowned Lucas Lagoons, the lagoon-style pool and spa feature a cascading waterfall, offering the ultimate retreat for relaxation. A meandering stone pathway winds through the gorgeous landscape, passing a serene saltwater tidal pond, leading to a two-story Tiki retreat, an idyllic setting for sunset cocktails and ocean breezes. At the edge of the property, a Gulf-front fire pit, nestled into the immaculate white sands, invites you to unwind as the sky transforms into a breathtaking masterpiece of colors. Whether envisioned as a luxurious primary residence or an exceptional coastal retreat, this one-of-a-kind Gulf-front estate offers an unparalleled blend of seclusion, sophistication, and effortless luxury.
