Private Address

Introducing a true legacy home, poised on a uniquely special, coastal dune lake-front site within The Retreat. This impressive, newly constructed, private lake-front luxury residence, overlooks Draper Lake and the Gulf of Mexico. Precise attention to design and construction detail has been given by acclaimed architect Matt Savoie and reputable builder Buster Woodruff in creating one of the most majestic residences among South Walton's scenic paradise. The home conveys fully furnished, with interiors just recently appointed by interior designer Georgia Carlee. A coastal retreat for the ages with four spacious levels encompassing 7 bedrooms, 8 full bathrooms and 3 half bathrooms. This home presents a timeless style of comfortable elegance & spaciousness with just under 7,000 square feet of

conditioned space with elevator. Upon entering the home, you are greeted in the foyer with a grand chandelier above and rich oak flooring with Alabama marble inlayed. The main living area offers a 25' cathedral ceiling, and floor to ceiling windows facing the Gulf allowing an abundance of natural light throughout. Step out onto the spacious porch, appointed with an outdoor living and dining area, to enjoy tranquil lake and Gulf views. Also on the main living floor, one can find the media room adjacent to the main living room, as well as a private office space. The gourmet kitchen features Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances with custom cabinetry and an extraordinary waterfall style kitchen island made from rare 5cm marble.

Spacious guest quarters, with separate living area, bedroom and private bath, are also accessed from the main living floor. The top floor exclusively houses the master suite featuring his and hers bathrooms, custom designed walk-in closet and coffee & wine bar. Vaulted oak ceilings paired with floor to ceiling windows flood the room with light and warmth. Start your day off right by sipping your coffee on the private balcony off the master suite while watching the deer stroll around the lake all while overlooking the Gulf. Four sizable guest rooms are located on the second floor. Each guestroom features a luxurious private en suite, and lake-front and Gulf views, along with private door to the Gulf facing porch for convenience.
