Description
The quiet of a lakehouse, with boating access to Choctawhatchee Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. Set along a sheltered stretch of Poquito Bayou, this custom waterfront home pairs elevated views with a peaceful, forested outlook across the water. Here, the luxury is as much about the setting as the home: morning coffee overlooking the bayou, afternoons on the boat, and evenings gathering by the pool.
Built into the natural hillside, the home welcomes you directly onto the main living level, capturing elevated water views without a climb to the principal living spaces. The primary suite, spacious kitchen, living room, formal dining room, and dedicated office make everyday living comfortable, while upstairs bedrooms provide separate space for guests. Fireplaces, travertine and hardwood floors, detailed woodwork, and generous balconies give the home its warm, traditional character.
The finished walkout level is a destination of its own. A custom bar shaped like the stern of a sportfishing yacht anchors an English pub-inspired gathering space, complemented by pecky cypress details, a stone fireplace, and room for games and conversation. This level opens directly to the elevated pool deck, connecting indoor entertaining with long afternoons and relaxed evenings outdoors.
For boaters, the property offers a covered boathouse and 16,000-pound lift, with approximately 10 feet of water depth reported at the dock. The facilities accommodate suitable boats approximately 34-36 feet in length
