Open Gulf Views & Unrestricted Direct Gulf Access — A True Boater’s Dream Welcome to an extraordinary Gulf Coast fishing retreat where the water isn’t just a view—it’s a way of life.

With 100 feet of concrete seawall, a private boat ramp, and a fixed dock on a deep saltwater canal, you can be on the open Gulf within minutes of leaving your backyard. Spend your days watching dolphins and manatees glide past the dock, casting a line for redfish, snook, and snapper, or heading offshore for world-class Gulf fishing. Nearly every room in the home captures stunning water views, reinforcing the seamless connection between indoor living and the coastal outdoors. Handcrafted by the original owner—a skilled boatbuilder—this home showcases beautiful nautical woodwork and custom craftsmanship throughout, giving it character you simply cannot replicate.
