About This Home

As of January 2021

''SANDCASTLE IN PARADISE'' is a gorgeous TUSCAN VILLA in PARADISE BY THE SEA- A true EXCEPTION IN PRIVACY, this property is a GATED COMPOUND located within a GATED COMMUNITY. 60'' OF GREAT GULF VIEWS, INFINITY EDGE POOL w LOGGIA. A large den has a FIREPLACE & WET BAR perfect for entertaining. A MASTER SUITE on 1st floor overlooks the GULF. 2 GUEST SUITES on 1st Floor. The interior STONE WALLS & BEAMED VAULTED ceilings make you feel like you really are in TUSCANY! The GULF FRONT LIVING AREA is massive with kitchen, dining & Living Room all having fabulous views! The MASTER SUITE opens onto a private balcony with the best WESTERN views... perfect for SUNSET viewing! MARBLE bath, large walk-in shower, free-standing soaking tub, water closet & bidet, and walk-in closet create a SPA like feel. Turn off of Florida's Gulf Coast Scenic HIGHWAY 30-A to find this GEM; where the homes are as distinguished as the beaches are IMPECCABLE. There's a reason why the area has been coined as "FLORIDA'S BEST KEPT SECRET" by FORBES. Glimmering waters and sparkling white sand resembles that of international destinations, providing the perfect backdrop for a life reimagined. While many refer to the area as the HAMPTONS OF THE SOUTH, it may come as a surprise that along the dunes of South Walton there is more to behold than Traditional Coastal Architecture. It seems very common for people to dream of life by the sea or of spending their days relaxing in a Villa in Tuscany... but what may have not occurred to them is that it is possible to have the BEST OF BOTH WORLDS. Under the Tuscan Sun, bodegas and farmer's markets provide organic wines, olive oil, farm-fresh produce and other local delicacies. On Scenic Highway 30A, the same amenities are in abundance along with Gulf-to-table Dining and Seafood.

AT ''SANDCASTLE IN PARADISE'', 12' CEILINGS on 1st floor & 14' on 2nd floor create an open and elegant living space. An ELEVATOR that loads from the garage makes getting cargo to the 2nd floor LIVING AREA so EASY. The interior STONE WALLS & BEAMED VAULTED ceilings make you feel like you really are in TUSCANY! There is another GUEST SUITE upstairs with a private balcony overlooking the motor court. This bedroom shares a HUGE bath with the OFFICE (Office can be converted into 6th bedroom is desired) EXPANSIVE FLOOR LENGTH WINDOWS provide fabulous GULF VIEWS throughout the house. The combination of FABULOUS FINISHES is breathtaking...reclaimed wooden floors and beams, stone interior walls, venetian plaster walls, waterfall island & marble countertops, etc., etc.

There is even a "dog court" on the western side of the home. Designed by DARRELL RUSSELL,AIA, ASID,of BOHEME DESIGN,this home was built to the HIGHEST STANDARDS & DESIGN DETAILS. This ''SANDCASTLE IN PARADISE'' has 5722 sq ft , 2 car oversized conditioned garage (679 sq ft), and 1894 sq ft of GULF FRONT DECKS & PORCHES! PRIVACY IS A PRIORITY HERE with your own GATED COMPOUND within a GATED COMMUNITY. Owner will have a long, beautifully landscaped drive to the home. There is plenty of room to add a CARRIAGE HOUSE over the garage if wanted. (Lot is 60' x 617') Palm-lined driveway leads to DOUBLE GARAGES, one oversized for SUVs and one for your beach convertible. . A FORTIFIED home built to the most current standards to WITHSTAND WINDS UP TO 162 mph. This will make your insurance more affordable as well as your peace of mind that this HOUSE IS A FORTRESS!
