Enjoy your own private seaside retreat along the Forgotten Coast of Florida! Welcome to this exotic, gated, and secluded 1.8-acre waterfront estate offering unobstructed 180-degree views of the Apalachicola Bay and the Gulf beyond, through East Pass, a natural inlet between St.

George Island and Dog Island, and connecting the Gulf of Mexico to St. George Sound. A unique opportunity with endless options, and the flexibility to function as a multi-generational living compound, corporate retreat, vacation rental, event venue, or a destination family home expansive enough to host visitors and extended family, while retaining complete privacy with a unique and separate 2-bedroom residence for the owner(s).

Characterized by a design that includes antique doors, extensive millwork, custom windows and storm doors, stained glass, antique tile, antique claw-foot tubs, and hardware - everything has been carefully curated by the owner from areas around the world.

A little Victorian vibe located in the heart of the historic fishing village of Carrabelle. The main building offers over 6,200 sf of living space. There are three separate and unique guest residences located on the garden level: The Cottage (1BR/1 BA, 300 sf), The Jungalow (1BR/1BA, den, 1100 sf), and The Lodge (2BR/2BA, Butler's Pantry, 1,900 sf).

All include private outdoor areas, and fully equipped kitchens. Most guest area furnishings will convey with the purchase. The upper-level owner's suite, the "Penthouse" (2,400 sf), is the crown jewel with unobstructed views of the expansive native Florida gardens below and the Gulf of Mexico - all from the 900 sf veranda.

The interior features 2-bedrooms, 2-bathrooms, a fireplace, heart pine flooring, large windows, and a master bathroom ready to be completed and installed by the new owner. Several other buildings complement the main building, spread about the property: "Barbie" the restored mid-century Jayco trailer, the "Linen House" studio, a partially restored A

irstream (could be used as a secondary cooking facility when entertaining large groups), two 8x16 steel shipping containers, the Chinese Pavilion, and an Observation Deck. The grounds are a true sanctuary of easy-maintenance, Florida native trees and shrubs, where you can meander along walking trails, wind through gardens, play pool, hike through t

he adjacent Apalachicola National Forest, read a book, dine alfresco, have a massage in the Pavilion, or step out onto your own private white sand beach from whence one can fish or kayak out into the breathtaking Bay and Gulf of Mexico. Located about 50 miles from Florida's capital, and the Tallahassee International Airport, 17 miles from historic

Apalachicola, and its private airport where one can take flying lessons, and just 3 miles from Carrabelle's own private airport. The Florida Panhandle offers world-class fishing, boating, pristine beaches, nature, unique local landmarks, dining, and entertainment.

For golfers and pickleball players, one of the top golf courses in Florida, Carrabelle's own St. James Bay Golf Resort is a mere 13 miles from the property.
