About This Home

As of August 2025

Perched at 39 feet above sea level, this coastal retreat captures sweeping Gulf and fairway views from every level -including fairway vistas from the first floor and Gulf-facing panoramas from the upper levels.

Pool permitting with Walton County is in progress, offering the future owner the option to build without delay.

Just 350 yards from private deeded beach access, this generously sized lot blends privacy, views, and location. A 2024 roof, whole-house generator, and 2023 elevator servicing all three floors offer peace of mind. Wraparound porches invite Gulf breezes, and the open-concept layout and parking for up to 12 vehicles makes entertaining effortless.

BellaMar at Gulf Place is a gated, rental-restricted neighborhood offering an exclusive coastal lifestyle along 30A. Step into the elegant foyer, where soothing coastal hues set an inviting tone. The first level includes three spacious bedrooms, two and a half baths, two laundry rooms, a kitchenette, expansive storage, and a generous two-car garage. A wraparound covered porch overlooking the fairway provides an ideal space for unforgettable gatherings.

The second level features a stunning chef's kitchen, an expansive great room, and two master suites. One suite offers a steam shower, his-and-hers walk-in closets, a wine closet, and a powder room. A wraparound balcony, accessible from the dining area, living room, and master suite, creates seamless indoor-outdoor living.

The third level is a showstopper, with panoramic Gulf views that captivate the moment you step off the elevator. A cozy living room opens to a covered balcony, where Gulf breezes enhance the coastal experience. A bunk room and full bath complete this level, making it ideal for guests or additional entertaining.

This home offers peace, privacy, and timeless designperfect for full-time living or a luxury coastal retreat.
