BLUE MOUNTAIN BEACH - Residential

About

A rare and irreplaceable opportunity in the heart of Blue Mountain Beach, this legacy Gulf-front property has been held by a single family since 1970 and has never before been offered for sale in its 56-year history! With 74.54 ft of direct Gulf frontage, an elevated at 28.5 ft, grandfathered 5 ft side setbacks, and property rights extending to the mean high water line, it represents the kind of coastal asset investors and builders wait years to secure. Short-term rental friendly and uniquely positioned away from public beach access points, the lot offers enhanced privacy and guest appeal while still enjoying convenient access to all that 30A offers. Just down from where Blue Mountain Road meets the Gulf and Big Redfish Lake, the property sits near spectacular coastal dune lake outflows and a natural buffer between Grayton Beach and Blue Mountain Beach, helping preserve the serene, low-density character of this shoreline and naturally discouraging overcrowding. Tucked on a quiet, low-traffic street, the property is an ideal foundation for a future luxury residence or high-performing vacation rental. The existing Old Florida cinderblock cottage, with a 2022 roof, offers 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, approx. 1,760 sq ft, with a fireplace, and is largely original-an excellent canvas for redevelopment, room for a pool, expanded footprint, and extensive outdoor living, or a complete reimagining into a new Gulf-front estate that maximizes the lot's width, elevation and investment potential!

Rare even by 30A standards, this legacy property commands one of the most extraordinary settings on the coast, with Draper Lake and the gulf unfolding in a sweeping panorama that rivals any view along our coastline. This residence was designed to honor its remarkable homesite, pairing enduring construction with architecture that feels both stately and deeply connected to the landscape. From the moment of arrival, the experience is defined by elevation, light and an ever-changing backdrop of dune vegetation, lake outfall and open water. Built in 2006, the five-bedroom residence spans over 4,700 square feet of heated and cooled living space and rests on a homesite with an exceptional 245+ feet of combined waterfrontage. Engineered for longevity, the structure is anchored by deep wood pilings and reinforced by substantial retaining walls, a thoughtful response to its elevated coastal setting. A private elevator, whole-home generator, six-zone HVAC system and smart home integration provide a level of comfort and functionality that quietly supports everyday living. The home's Low Country-inspired architecture is expressed through cedar lap siding, a standing seam metal roof, copper-accented railings and expansive Brazilian hardwood decking. Inside, hand-hewn cypress floors, marble surfaces, tongue-and-groove cypress paneling and exposed cypress trusses create a layered interior rich in texture and craftsmanship. The main living, dining and kitchen spaces are crowned by a dramatic Cathedral ceiling with clerestory light, while walls of windows and French doors frame uninterrupted coastal views. The kitchen is both refined and highly functional, anchored by a statement La Cornue range, Sub-Zero refrigeration, custom cabinetry and a well-appointed butler's pantry. The gulf-facing primary suite opens onto a covered porch and features a beautifully detailed bath and built-in wall of mirrored closet doors. Guest suites are treated equally, each with a private bath and many offering direct access to outdoor living areas. Outdoor spaces are designed to complement the setting without competing with it. A private pool tucked behind native vegetation creates a sense of seclusion, while covered porches and elevated decks offer multiple vantage points to take in the view. A private dock and boardwalk extend to Draper Lake, offering effortless access for paddleboarding, kayaking and quiet mornings on the water. Within the gated community, owners enjoy multiple beach walkovers, a community pool and dedicated beach access. With frontage on both a coastal dune lake and the gulf, this is a unique location and elevation along Scenic Highway 30A.

In WaterColor, the most compelling homes rarely announce themselves. They reveal their intention gradually, through proportion, material, and the quiet confidence of thoughtful design. At 565 East Royal Fern, that restraint is immediately evident. Built by Borges Brooks Builders and designed by TS Adams, the residence reads less like a vacation home and more like a carefully composed coastal compound, where architecture, craftsmanship, and livability were considered in equal measure. The interiors are grounded in warmth and texture. Oak floors by Seashore Flooring run throughout, softening the scale of the home while complementing a restrained palette of whites and natural woods. Light moves easily across the living spaces, filtered through expansive openings and framed by subtle architectural details. Several furnishings were custom designed by the homeowner and executed by Amish craftsmen, introducing a quiet layer of authenticity that reinforces the home's tailored, intentional feel. The kitchen is both sculptural and functional, centered around a waterfall island that anchors the space. Dome pendants add a clean architectural focal point, while a 60-inch Wolf range and Liebherr refrigerator elevate the appliance package without disrupting the home's understated tone. In the carriage house, quartz countertops and coordinated finishes continue the same level of detail, ensuring the secondary living spaces feel fully integrated with the main residence. With eight bedrooms, including the private carriage house, the property lives as a true compound. The primary suite is positioned as a retreat, complete with a spa-style bathroom featuring a soaking tub, electric fireplace, dual closets, and direct access to a private patio. Guest accommodations are thoughtfully distributed, allowing for both privacy and flexibility when hosting extended family and visitors. Construction details further distinguish the home. The slab is elevated and foam insulated, a deliberate structural decision that enhances stability and helps prevent floor movement over time. Real stone in the downstairs guest bathroom reinforces the emphasis on authentic materials, while EPAY decking across the outdoor living areas was selected for long-term durability in the coastal environment. Outdoor spaces extend the architecture rather than compete with it. A resort-style pool and covered pavilion create layered gathering areas, allowing the home to transition naturally between quiet mornings and larger-scale entertaining. At 565 East Royal Fern, the result is not simply scale, but composition. A WaterColor residence defined by intention, craftsmanship, and a quieter, more enduring interpretation of coastal luxury.

Few addresses along Florida's Gulf Coast can claim what 40 Tortola Lane delivers: an elevated position on one of The Retreat's most prized lots, with an unobstructed panorama stretching across Draper Lake, the gulf's white-sand dunes, and the shimmering open water beyond. This stacked layering of coastal dune lake, sculpted dunes, and gulf horizon is a combination virtually impossible to find -- and it defines this property as something genuinely extraordinary. Priced to reflect exceptional value, this is a rare opportunity to own one of the most architecturally refined and scenically positioned homes on 30A at a compelling entry point. Designed by celebrated architect Tom Christ and constructed to fortified home standards with steel-reinforced concrete and a decorative concrete tile roof, the home is built for both beauty and longevity. Multi-level balconies extend the living experience outdoors, where the coastal views are nothing short of breathtaking. The second floor serves as the home's social hub with soaring ceilings, rich hardwood floors and a stone fireplace that sets the tone for a living space that is both welcoming and refined. The chef's kitchen is outfitted for serious entertaining, featuring dual islands, Thermador appliances and quartzite countertops. A guest suite, an office/bedroom room with ensuite bath, and a powder room round out this level. The entire third floor is dedicated to a primary suite with views of Draper Lake, the dunes, and the gulf, providing a backdrop that makes waking up here feel like an event. Custom his-and-hers closets with a built-in safe, a private den with fireplace and a secondary laundry add layers of comfort and practicality. On the first floor, three additional guest suites each feature en suite baths. A bright courtyard, mudroom, and connected outdoor shower make post-beach and post-lake transitions effortless. A cedar closet, a climate-controlled wine room, and a heated and cooled storage room - spacious enough to double as a private gym or wellness studio - round out the home's thoughtful amenities. The property sits within The Retreat, widely regarded as 30A's most private and meticulously maintained gated enclave. Residents enjoy over 3,000 feet of private gulf frontage, a world-class pool and beach club, and access to Draper Lake's boathouse for kayaking and paddleboarding. An expansive natural buffer surrounding the community ensures the kind of enduring privacy that is increasingly rare. At its new price, 40 Tortola Lane stands as one of the most compelling values on the entire Emerald Coast -- a legacy property offering unmatched views, superior construction, and the exclusivity of The Retreat, all at a price that rewards decisive buyers.
