About this home

There are homes that simply meet expectations--and then there are homes where every line, every material, and every space reflects intention. This is one of those rare residences. Crafted by an owner with a deep reverence for the water, for family, and for living fully, this custom-built estate carries a level of detail that is rarely delivered. Rich wood floors with intricate inlays, a masterfully detailed wood ceiling, and a one-of-a-kind custom bar--sculpted in the likeness of a sportfishing yacht's stern--bring the soul of the open water indoors with striking authenticity. Positioned along a natural slope--an uncommon advantage in Florida--the home offers a true walkout basement design. This allows for effortless, single-level living on the main floor with a grand entertaining space and primary suite, while still capturing elevated, commanding views typically reserved for multi-story climbs. The main level is anchored by a spacious custom kitchen and an open, flowing layout designed for gathering. Below, the walkout level transforms into a private bayou lodge retreat--rich with pecky cypress accents, a unique yacht bar also molded into the feeling of a classic English pub, and an expansive game and entertainment space centered around a stone fireplace. In a final touch of creativity, a custom-built thatched-roof hut encloses the full bath and utility space--an unexpected, artful nod to faraway escapes. Large windows and built-in window seats frame serene views over the pool deck and across the bayou. Set on the protected waters of Poquito Bayou--known among experienced boaters as a premier "hurricane hole"--the property offers calm, deepwater access ideal for boating, fishing, and watersports. A robust dock and a thoughtfully designed brick-paver path allow for easy transport of gear from home to water, whether by foot, cart, or golf cart. The upper level provides a private haven for family and guests, with generously sized rooms, expansive balconies, and sweeping views that feel as though you're perched several stories above the bayou--thanks to the home's elevated positioning. This is more than a home--it's a yachtsman's sanctuary designed for those who value craftsmanship, connection, and a life well-lived. A place where days are measured in time on the water, evenings in shared stories, and every detail supports a life fully experienced. Because with a property like this, you're not just investing in real estate--you're investing in a legacy. Beyond just right, it's livin' right.
