Property Description

Set along the quiet curves of Turtle Creek, this rare waterfront offering unfolds across nearly three acres of wooded privacy, with approximately 270 feet of frontage on a deep-water stream. Towering mature trees frame the setting, creating a park-like environment that feels timeless and secluded while offering direct access by boat to Hogtown Bayou and Choctawhatchee Bay. With a dock and boathouse already in place, the property invites a lifestyle shaped by calm mornings on the water and effortless year-round navigation. The existing residence is a custom-built carriage house finished in classic brick and Hardie siding. Elevated living defines the second floor, where reclaimed barn-wood floors ground the main living area and the primary suite in warmth and character. From this vantage point, the home feels suspended among the trees, offering a peaceful, treehouse-like perspective with leafy views in every direction. The layout was thoughtfully designed to support future expansion, originally envisioned as a guest house once a primary residence is constructed on the property. On the ground level, the heated and cooled garage has been converted into additional living space with bedrooms, laundry, and a secondary living area. This space was intentionally built so it can be easily returned to garage use once a larger home is completed, preserving flexibility for future plans. Two additional structures expand the possibilities. A 12-by-36-foot building includes 240 square feet of finished, climate-controlled space currently used as a casual retreat, with the remaining area dedicated to storage. A fully enclosed pole barn measuring 24 by 36 feet offers ample room for equipment, vehicles, or workshop needs. Seller-held plans allow for the option to significantly expand the existing structure by doubling the heated and cooled square footage and adding 810 square feet of covered parking. The property is offered as-is, with the seller willing to manage the proposed addition for a fee, creating a rare opportunity to shape a legacy waterfront estate while enjoying immediate use of the property and its natural surroundings.
