Description

For the discerning buyer seeking the utmost in privacy, scale, and exclusivity, this remarkable gulf-front estate represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Spanning three contiguous lots within 30A's most prestigious enclave, the property boasts 180 feet of direct gulf frontage and the rare distinction of complete seclusion within an already private, gated setting. Paradise by the Sea is revered as the most exclusive neighborhood along Scenic Highway 30A — an intimate collection of grand coastal residences offering unmatched serenity, a prime east-end location between Alys Beach and Rosemary Beach, and private beaches that remain peaceful even in the height of summer.

Supplements: The existing residence, inspired by Palladian architecture, occupies two of the gulf-front parcels, while the third lot provides exceptional flexibility. Maintain it as a privacy buffer, preserve it as a long-term asset, or design an additional custom home to complement the estate. Inside, exquisite craftsmanship defines the home, from marble ceilings and custom plaster detailing with gold foiling to upholstered walls and a dramatic double staircase that sets an opulent tone. Thoughtful amenities include a sauna, steam shower, and a unique cave-style room reminiscent of an Italian wine cellar. A lush landscape surrounds the circular drive, three-car garage, and ample parking areas. For those with a visionary perspective, the potential extends even further. With three continuous gulf-front parcels in Paradise by the Sea  an offering unlikely ever to be replicated  developers have the chance to create multiple legacy homes, subject to DEP and community approvals, in a location where record-breaking sales have set the standard for coastal luxury. Whether reserved as a generational retreat or reimagined as a landmark development, this extraordinary estate secures a commanding and forever-private presence on the Gulf of Mexico.
