Nestled within a 5-acre grove of mature southern pines this beautiful retreat began as the premiere estate on the island. Sitting up on a slight hill with commanding 360-degree views of Carabelle Bay and Gulf of Mexico beaches and stunning water views from every room in the house. Gather big groups in the Great Room below 25 ft cypress-clad ceilings as you enjoy living and dining areas flanked by five sets of French doors. Linger long hours in the sunny eat-in kitchen with walk-in pantry. Throughout the house are large windows allowing natural light to spill across rich Mexican-tile floors. French doors lead to a thousand feet of multi-level decks and allow the gentle breezes to flow through the house. The modern Master Suite features redwood walls, a walk-in closet, and luxurious Master Bath with frameless glass shower and generous soaking tub. Retreat to write the great novel or simply work quietly at home in the separate 2-bedroom cottage for overflow guests that includes a maintenance workshop and room for a boat or vehicle. The 200-foot deep-water dock is key, allowing private access to and from the estate from a location directly south of Carrabelle Beach. Dog Island offers over 20 miles of undisturbed pristine beaches, a small marina and airstrip within 90 minutes of Tallahassee International Airport. Uniquely secluded and quiet this is a rare opportunity to own an exceptional estate in the heart of the jewel of Florida’s Forgotten Coast.
