A rare opportunity to own one of the Gulf Coast's most impressive waterfront estates...... Tucked away from the road and hidden from view, this stunning home offers a grand arrival you will never forget! Follow the long, winding driveway through a peaceful & private setting, and just when you think you've left the world behind - there it is. Set on 13+ private acres and located outside of a flood zone, this property offers the absolute perfect blend of luxury, functionality and breathtaking natural beauty. Even more remarkable, the home did not flood during Hurricane Katrina, providing an added level of confidence and peace of mind. From the moment you arrive, you'll appreciate the attention to detail--from the recently painted exterior and brand-new roof to the underground utilities and expansive five-car garage, complete with a Tesla charger. Step through the front doors into a breathtaking foyer highlighted by a grand staircase, soaring ceilings, and exquisite custom woodwork that showcases the home's timeless craftsmanship. Inside, reclaimed heart of pine floors set the tone for warmth and elegance throughout. Designed for both everyday living and grand entertaining, the spacious floor plan features five generously sized bedrooms, each with its own private bath and walk-in closet, along with a dedicated office, and an upstairs study nook perfect for homework or remote learning. There is a laundry room on each level for added convenience, formal dining room, breakfast room, beautiful living room overlooking the water with a stunning fireplace, as well as a cozy den area with bar areaa. There is also a large walk-in attic which provides an abundance of easily accessible storage space, as well as another finished out storage room. The chef's kitchen is a dream, boasting quartzite countertops, a butler's pantry, Wolf double ovens, a warming drawer, two dishwashers, dual trash compactors, island, and abundant storage. The luxurious primary suite serves as a private retreat, featuring stunning water views, a personal gym, and a spa-inspired bath complete with a freestanding soaking tub, large separate shower, two large walk-in closets, and dual vanities. Step outside to experience resort-style living. The saltwater pool and hot tub overlook the water, while the pool house offers endless possibilities as a guest house, mother-in-law suite, or private retreat (and could easily be added on expanding into one of the garage bays). Enjoy breathtaking sunsets from the waterfront gazebo equipped with power, or head to the boathouse featuring 2 lifts - one for a jet ski and the other which will accomodate up to a 28-foot boat. Additional highlights include three HVAC systems, instant hot water, an invisible fence for pets, central vacuum system, front & back yard irrigation systems, and a charming widow's walk area on top of the house offering panoramic views of the surrounding waterfront landscape (perfect for watching the sunset). Relax and unwind on either the covered front or back porch and soak in all this property has to offer. The extensive list of amenities is simply too long to capture in its entirety. This remarkable property must be experienced firsthand to fully appreciate its craftmanship, scale and attention to detail. Properties of this caliber are seldom available. Offering unmatched acreage, exceptional amenities, stunning waterfront scenery, and exceptional craftsmanship throughout, this is more than a home--it's a private waterfront sanctuary and a legacy estate designed to be enjoyed for generations. This truly is a hidden treasure.
