Property Description:

One of the most magnificent houses ever offered for sale at Alligator Point and Bald Point. Located within Florida’s Undiscovered Coast on the Florida Panhandle, live in this Kenneth Lynch-designed home, the third he had designed for this owner. Taste, beach elegance, individuality, and function all come together in this spectacular home in the middle of one of Florida’s largest parks Bald Point State Park.

Get lost in this vestige of old Florida. Low traffic on a dead-end beachfront street where you never know what you will see next, be it deer, bobcats, foxes, and so many bird species that Bald Point is a destination for hundreds of birders each year. Look out your window and see eagles teaching their young how to hunt right below you!

The owner was obsessed with self-sufficiency, ease of living, well-executed design, construction, and safety. Two full kitchens (one gas, one electric), multiple refrigerators and freezers, power sources, and massive storage throughout this home ensure you can live comfortably in any circumstance, whether natural or man-made. To be appreciated, the term ‘must be seen’ does not say enough!

Room Dimensions and Descriptions are approximate and believed to be accurate.
