Designed for multi-generational living or grand-scale entertaining, this coastal residence features five private bedroom suites—including a separate in-law or nanny suite—as well as a dedicated home office that can serve as a sixth bedroom. Two full gourmet kitchens, five expansive balconies, and an elevator servicing all three levels ensure exceptional comfort and convenience throughout. The main living areas showcase open-concept design, natural light, and breathtaking vistas that define luxury Gulf Coast living. Resort-level amenities abound, including a heated, saltwater pool that reaches 10 feet deep, a hot tub with massage jets, a full steam room, and an infrared sauna for ultimate relaxation. A whole-home Sonos audio system, a 12-camera security network, and a powerful 60 kW natural gas generator provide modern convenience and peace of mind. Water quality is managed by an advanced reverse osmosis filtration system and whole-house conditioner, while a 70-foot private well supplies multi-zone irrigation for the manicured grounds. The property also features a unique drive-through two-car garage with an air-conditioned storage loft, three HVAC zones plus a mini-split system, LED color-changing lighting throughout, and outdoor enhancements such as a built-in gas grill, a fire pit, and an illuminated waterfall feature—ideal for entertaining under the stars. An adjacent buildable lot expands your opportunity for growth, allowing space for a future guest house, expanded estate grounds, or added privacy. This is more than a home—it's a one-of-a-kind legacy property offering privacy, luxury, and an irreplaceable position along Florida’s Gulf Coast. Now available exclusively by private appointment, this luxury beachfront retreat is the ultimate in coastal real estate. Don’t miss your chance to own a slice of Gulf-front paradise.
