Welcome to your own private retreat right here in Gulf Breeze, and what a truly rare find it is. Properties like this almost never come available. This find offers over 11 beautiful, high-and-dry acres with mature trees, open pastures, and peaceful pockets of nature. You’ll feel a world away, while still being just minutes from town and beaches. This is the kind of property where life slows down, and memories are made. Picture mornings sitting on the porch sipping coffee while watching the sun rise over the sound and evenings relaxing by the pond as the sun sets, watching herons and ducks float by. Wide open spaces for all the animals and hobbies you have dreamed of, with a fenced paddock and pasture for horses, goats, and more. This land is usable and thoughtfully laid out with two barns, one of which features an accessory unit ideal for a guest or private studio apartment. The large lap pool offers a perfect spot to cool off on warm Florida days. As you drive across your private wooden bridge over a meandering creek, there is an immediate sense of calm that sets the tone for the entire property. The custom-built brick home feels straight out of a storybook, welcoming you with an expansive front porch and a warm, inviting foyer. Inside, you find a formal dining room, a dedicated office, and a living room with dark hardwood floors and a fireplace. It is the perfect place to unwind at the end of the day. The kitchen features abundant wood cabinetry, black appliances, an island, and a breakfast nook. From there, there is easy access to the laundry room and an oversized side-entry two-car garage. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite offers its own fireplace, while the primary bathroom features double vanities, a tiled walk-in shower, dual closets, and an oversized soaking tub looking out to your private sanctum. There are two additional spacious bedrooms that share a full bath. Plus, a separate guest suite with a private entrance includes a mini kitchen and bath.
