    What's special

    Built-in saunaNew gated entryHonduran mahogany door
    Rare opportunity to own a private peninsula estate with over 700' of shoreline on nearly 1 acre — a boater's sanctuary with deep water, no fixed bridges to the ocean, and exceptional privacy surrounded by river views and Audubon-protected nature. This fully renovated property offers a 4BR main residence plus a 2BR/2BA guest house, ideal for multigenerational living or private guest accommodations. Enter through a Honduran Mahogany door where a heart-shaped stone set into the foyer floor welcomes you home with intention. A bright, open great room with exposed beams and bamboo flooring connects seamlessly to a 65' covered balcony overlooking the water and wildlife. The gourmet kitchen features Sub-Zero refrigeration, Fulgor range, dual dishwashers, Wolf warming drawer, built-in food sealer, trash compactor, and a custom dog-feeding station. Resort-style outdoor living includes a fully renovated heated pool & spa, custom fire pit, screened and covered patios, mosquito misting system, and lush new landscaping with Zoysia sod, palms, lighting, irrigation, and turf accents. For boaters, the waterfront is unbeatable: two new docks a 70' dock with 200 amp service currently docking a 63' Hatteras sportfish, and a 30' dock with 30 amp + water and a 24,000 lb lift. Private boat ramp + kayak launch, over 700' of newly replaced seawall, and an additional retaining seawall under the dock ensure long-term peace of mind. Extensive improvements throughout: New metal roof & gutters Impact windows & doors (full tinting) All A/C units new (with climate-controlled garage) All water heaters new + water softener system 38kw whole-house generator w/1,000 lb propane tank Built-in sauna Whole-home audio + all new LED lighting Designer lighting from Serena & Lily Updated flooring in guest house New gated entry Located close to top-rated schools, dining, marinas, and beaches yet privately tucked into nature.
