Description

Commanding one of the most extraordinary waterfront positions along the Emerald Coast, Santa Rosa Point occupies its own private peninsula with approximately 500 feet of wraparound frontage on Choctawhatchee Bay. Set on more than an acre of secluded, meticulously landscaped grounds, the estate is surrounded by water on three sides, offering a rare sense of privacy and natural beauty that feels removed yet remains remarkably connected. This is one of just a few deepwater locations on the bay, making it ideal for boating and water enthusiasts. Mornings begin with soft eastern light and dolphins gliding through the bay, while evenings bring sweeping sunsets as herons, osprey, and pelicans return home. The grounds are richly landscaped with mature tropical plantings and an abundance

The main living areas and primary suite sit just steps from the shoreline, allowing the bay to shape everyday life. The owner's retreat serves as a private sanctuary, featuring a spa-inspired bath with a steam shower and body sprayers, generous walk-in closets with secure storage, and direct access to outdoor living areas overlooking the water. Solid hardwood flooring in the primary living spaces is complemented by travertine accents and carefully selected low-glare lighting, creating a warm and refined ambiance throughout.
