This Mediterranean-style waterfront home invites you to make Rocky Bayou part of your everyday life. Enjoy morning coffee overlooking the water, boating or fishing from your private pier, and evenings on the screened porch. Beyond the tranquility of this setting, its elevated position and history of never flooding, according to the seller, add to its waterfront appeal. Approximately 0.7 acre and 142 feet of direct waterfront create a spacious setting with expansive views toward Choctawhatchee Bay and the Destin skyline. A newly built 100-foot pier with flow-through fiberglass decking gives you your own place on the water. Authentic Mexican Saltillo tile, solid wood doors, and a stone masonry fireplace bring distinctive character to the home. Large windows frame the views, and the kitchen and breakfast nook overlook the bayou. Granite countertops, recently refurbished kitchen flooring, copper-accented LED lighting, and brand-new, never-used 2025 appliances complete the kitchen. The sliding glass door to the back porch has been replaced. An independent guest apartment beside the main residence includes its own kitchen, living and dining areas, laundry, storage, heated garage, and below-grade storm shelter/safe room. It offers extended family, adult children, and guests the freedom of their own space. Potential long-term rental or Airbnb use is subject to applicable rules and requirements. A circular driveway connects the residences, while a loft office and spacious bonus room add versatility to the main home. The seller reports that the property has never flooded. Two independent residences, a private pier, and an expansive waterfront setting—a place to enjoy your privacy and welcome the people you love.
