About this home
Tucked within one of 30A’s most exclusive enclaves, this ultra-private Gulf-front residence in WaterSound Beach is cocooned by towering natural dunes, mature coastal vegetation, and the emerald waters of the Gulf. The property enjoys an exceptional sense of seclusion rarely found along the 30A corridor and includes a rare boardwalk leading from the home to the beach. Architectural elements—including screened porches on the south side, a walled courtyard at ground level, and a second-story Gulf-front porch enhanced by living green screens—ensure absolute privacy for you and your family while maintaining uninterrupted connection to the landscape.
Nestled along the pristine shores of the premier WaterSound Beach community, this one-of-a-kind Gulf-front haven presents the epitome of coastal elegance. A four-bedroom primary home and a two-bedroom guest house encompass nearly 6,200 square feet of impeccably designed interior spaces, while a spacious outdoor courtyard offers a private heated pool, spa, grill, and lounge area with a firepit.
From the moment you enter, the meticulous quality of construction is apparent with luxurious finishes throughout, including Venetian plaster walls, pecky cypress cabinetry, custom millwork, beamed ceilings, brick accents, custom tiled bathrooms, hidden closets, and more. The first level features an inviting secondary living room with multiple seating and game areas and a gorgeous pecky cypress bar equipped with an Asko dishwasher, ice maker, and Sub-Zero refrigerator. A guest suite with en suite bath, a custom bunk room with four built-in bunks and en suite bath, laundry, and powder bath complete the floor, along with open and screened porches designed for relaxation.
Ascend to the second level via the custom staircase or elevator, where the grand primary living spaces unfold. A gourmet kitchen, wine room, living and dining areas, and expansive covered porch create the heart of the home. The porch offers the ultimate in private and relaxing outdoor living—complete with a fireplace, dining area, lounge space, and a built-in Big Green Egg with vent hood. This elevated outdoor retreat makes entertaining effortless against a backdrop of lush coastal foliage and Gulf breezes. Highlights of the kitchen include marble counters, custom cabinetry, a Cove dishwasher, Wolf gas range with hood, and Sub-Zero refrigerator. A climate-controlled wine room provides built-in storage, Sub-Zero wine fridge, beverage center, and ice maker. Also on this level is an elegant guest suite with an en suite bath and powder room. Connected via a striking glass catwalk, the guest home offers a sitting area, two bedrooms, laundry, and a full bathroom.
On the third level, the primary suite commands spectacular views across the natural dunes of WaterSound Beach. A private sitting area, pecky cypress walls, a lavish en suite with built-in television in the mirror, an office nook, laundry, walk-in closet, and a morning bar with Sub-Zero wine fridge and ice maker—plus a private porch overlooking the Gulf—make this a true owner’s retreat.
The crown jewel rests on the top floor—an enclosed tower offering a cozy sitting area with pecky cypress details and a porch showcasing panoramic Gulf vistas. A private boardwalk winds through the protected dunes directly to the sugar-white sands and emerald waters. Exceptional community amenities, including pools, a puttering park, green spaces, and a state-of-the-art fitness center, complete the experience.
This WaterSound Beach Gulf-front home is a masterpiece of design and privacy—seamlessly blending modern sophistication with the natural beauty of 30A and offering an unparalleled opportunity for discerning buyers seeking a truly luxurious, secluded coastal retreat.
