Direct Gulf-Front Beach House on Over 1 Acre – Your Private Island Escape Nestled on over an acre of serene, lush grounds, this exquisitely redesigned Mid-Century Modern beach house offers unparalleled Gulf-front living. With a meandering path leading to the soft, sun-kissed sands of the Gulf, you’ll have direct access to the water for endless relaxation or adventure. The home’s rear elevation evokes the charm of a French château, complemented by an expansive outdoor living space perfect for entertaining. Enjoy al fresco dining on the large patio, unwind in the sparkling pool and spa, or bask in the warmth of the spa while taking in stunning sunset views over the water. Completely remodeled with meticulous attention to detail, this residence boasts a brand-new roof, impact-resistant glass windows and doors, and a pool that will be resurfaced in Summer 2025. Every corner of the home reflects luxury and tranquility, including the inviting main gathering area featuring a vaulted Cypress tongue-and-groove ceiling, new flooring, and three distinctive arches. Expansive sliding doors from each room frame breathtaking views with Western exposure, while chic furnishings create the perfect atmosphere for a true Island retreat. Set within the prestigious, gated community of Chateau Sur Mer – offering just 70 exclusive home sites – this property ensures both privacy and casual elegance. Whether for personal enjoyment or as an outstanding rental investment (with future bookings to be honored), this home is the epitome of sophisticated yet relaxed beachside living.
