About this home
Perched on one of the most elevated lots in The Retreat, this exceptional residence offers a vantage point unlike any other along Scenic 30A. From its commanding position, the home unveils a rare panorama of Draper Lake, one of Florida’s treasured coastal dune lakes, framed by the sculpted white dunes and the endless horizon of the Gulf. The layered beauty of lake, dunes, and Gulf is a view almost never found — and it sets this property apart as one of the most coveted homesites in the community. Designed by renowned architect Tom Christ and built to Fortified Home Construction Standards with steel-reinforced concrete and a concrete tile roof, it offers enduring strength paired with timeless elegance. Balconies on each level provide outdoor living space with sweeping coastal views, while the interiors combine quality craftsmanship with everyday comfort. The second floor is the heart of the home, where soaring ceilings, rich hardwood floors, and a stone fireplace anchor a warm yet sophisticated living space. A chef’s kitchen stands ready for entertaining with dual islands, Thermador appliances, and quartzite countertops. The main level also includes a guest suite, office/bonus room with en suite bath, and a powder room. The third floor is devoted to a spectacular master suite, where sweeping views of Draper Lake, the dunes, and the Gulf create an atmosphere of serenity. Custom his-and-hers closets with a built-in safe, a private den with fireplace, and a secondary laundry complete this private retreat. The first floor adds three guest suites, all with en suite baths, a bright courtyard, a practical mudroom connected to an outdoor shower for quick cleanup after beach and lake adventures, and a cedar closet. Unique amenities include a climate-controlled wine room and a heated and cooled storage room large enough to serve as a personal gym or wellness studio. Beyond the home itself, this lot is recognized as one of the finest within The Retreat, a gated enclave celebrated as the most private and pristine community on 30A. Residents enjoy more than 3,000 feet of private Gulf frontage, a world-class pool and beach club, access to Draper Lake for watersports with a boathouse for kayak and paddleboard storage, and an expansive protected natural buffer that ensures lasting privacy. This is more than a home — it is a rare legacy property, blending elevated coastal living with the unmatched exclusivity of The Retreat.
