Property Description

Hear the surf, feel the calm. Custom coastal home at the head of a 1000-foot trail leading to the intercoastal waterway, a protected nature-preserve with a white sand seashore. Look out to uninhabited Perdido Key and the Gulf. You may never have this chance again–this home is so rare to be situated in and around forestland yet be so close to the water. In a private gated community, Heron’s Forest, with a beautiful pool, plus tennis/pickleball/basketball courts and nature trails. High & dry with almost 3400 square feet of custom living space, this southern charmer has an expansive wraparound porch w/cypress ceilings and fern waterers, plus a large-screened porch in back. Spacious and well-planned, it has 4 (or 5) bedrooms and 3.5 baths, a huge great room and a gourmet-sized kitchen w/large island & walk-in pantry. Now used as a home office, this flex space could be used as a bedroom (has a closet), a formal dining room, or bonus room of any kind. The main-floor primary suite has spacious cedar-lined closets, jetted tub, separate glass shower & dual vanities. Enjoy high ceilings and an abundance of natural light. Features long plank hardwood floors throughout, plus transoms, a trey ceiling, sky lights, dormers, stained glass and craftsman-style trim. Upstairs are 3 spacious bedrooms, one with an en suite bath. The other bath has dual vanities. A sturdy cypress-ceiling breezeway leads to the oversized two-car garage (+attic) and a 250 sq ft workshop/home gym/storage room or golf cart garage. One of the largest lots in HF, on a cul-de-sac, rare live oaks complete the canopy overhead. Irrigation on well. Privacy fenced, leave the yard natural or create your dream oasis. Watch the sunrises & sunsets beam through the trees. This truly one-of-a-kind property will have you living your best life in coastal paradise! (Sidewalks run for miles outside the neighborhood, next to NAS, 10-min to Perdido Key Beaches, minutes to Big Lagoon State Park, 20-min to Downtown Pensacola.)
