The unprecedented Gulf-front privacy of Bannerman Estates is the backdrop for this stunning residence, the latest addition to builder and developer Coastal Elements’ ultra-luxury portfolio. Bannerman Estates is one of few gated, Gulf-side communities in South Walton that has maintained the nostalgia of the Florida Gulf-coast. Set back from Scenic 30A amongst the native hardwoods and vegetation, this community of only 14 legacy estate lots lies in the heart of the 30A corridor with convenient access to award-winning dining, cultural events and shopping. This seven bedroom, eight full bath and two half bath residence presides over a half-acre lot with 115 ft. of Gulf and lake frontage and unobstructed views over Little Redfish Lake and the dunes of Grayton State Park. Nowhere else on the 30A corridor can you embrace the ecological wonder of one of our rare coastal dune lakes where it meets the turquoise waters of the Gulf of Mexico and the design of this home takes full advantage, offering Gulf and lake views from nearly every room. The coastal elegance of this home is seen throughout the nearly 7,000 square feet, plus 4,000 square feet of outdoor living space. Such elegant touches cannot be overlooked including 10' inlaid, herringbone antique oak plank doors, custom formed archways, polished Venetian plaster walls throughout, vintage white oak floors and ceiling detail, and custom forged wrought iron hand rails. The tile selections throughout the home are hand-made, one of a kind designs giving texture and artistic interest to each space. The main kitchen and living space open to an expansive covered porch where dining al fresco will be the order of the day. An adjacent chef's prep kitchen with private entrance for staff to utilize keeps clutter at bay. All three stories of the main house can be accessed by the elevator, with the third floor meeting the need for either a second master suite or a media room with breath-taking views of the Gulf. The first level of the home includes four guest bedrooms each with private bathrooms, as well as an entertainment space with a full kitchen and retractable glass doors that open to the saltwater, infinity pool. Your enjoyment of the outdoors may only be quelled by the many options at your fingertips. From your private dune lake access, you may paddle or kayak to the Gulf of Mexico landing on the communities private beach. After a day of activity, stow your gear in the full-height storage room under the first level of the home, then make your way along the footpath to your lakeside fire-pit and watch the sun set over the lake and dunes. The detached garage with one-bedroom guest residence above is a continuation of the luxurious finishes of the main house, not to mention the outstanding views of the Gulf from this space as well. This is a residence that embraces the art of entertainment without sacrificing the comforts of a true home. Follow this listing closely as new photos, finishes and details will be added in the coming weeks.
