Property Description
DOUBLE LOT, CANAL FRONT, NEVER FLOODED, CUSTOM BUILT HOME! You must see to believe the magnificence of this custom-built home on the highly desirable Alligator Drive! This home is BEAUTIFUL inside! The builder, a retired oceanographer and meteorologist who served in Antarctica with international science expeditions, brought many unique touches to the construction. The meticulously crafted, Japanese-style home is a true gem nestled along The Forgotten Coast on a double canal lot. It is detailed with cedar, cypress, and heart pine and positioned to harness nature's beauty and breezes throughout the year. The home features a screened wrap-around porch that overlooks the canal, offering a serene view and the soothing sounds of whispering pine trees that provide a natural buffer from neighbors. Located just a one-minute walk from beach access, though, this home is ideal for those who love fishing, swimming, and boating. Heartily built, this home stands on eighteen (18) 24-inch diameter pylons buried deep and extending the full height of the construction. The heart pine tongue and groove vaulted ceilings and floors create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The open cupola and 200-plus square-foot loft provide additional space for a bunk room, playroom, reading nook, or relaxation area. Step inside the main level of the home to luxuriate in the sunken Japanese bath, yet another perfect place for relaxation. Take the opportunity to own this exceptional home that combines unique design and durability with a prime location.
